Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kvm
When installing, kvm tries to load the kernel module. My bios seems to disable svm and kvm-amd can't load, so installation fails. When uninstalling, kvm tries to unload the kernel module. Since it isn't loaded, uninstallation fails. I have no option in my bios to enable svm support, so i can't fix it that way. I've tried to force uninstallation, but doesn't work. Some messages are in spanish, so I added translation to english $ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all kvm (Leyendo la base de datos ... # Reading database 274046 ficheros y directorios instalados actualmente.) # 274046 files and directories actually installed Desinstalando kvm ... # Uninstalling kvm ERROR: Module kvm_amd does not exist in /proc/modules * Failed to remove kvm-amd invoke-rc.d: initscript kvm, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error al procesar kvm (--purge): el subproceso pre-removal script devolvió el código de salida de error 1 # the pre-removal subprocess script returned exit code is error 1 FATAL: Error inserting kvm_amd (/lib/modules/2.6.24-3-generic/kernel/drivers/kvm/kvm-amd.ko): Operation not supported * Module kvm-amd failed to load invoke-rc.d: initscript kvm, action "start" failed. dpkg: error al reorganizar: el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de salida de error 1 # the post-install subprocess script returned exit code is error 1 Se encontraron errores al procesar: # there where errors found processing: kvm Installation must NOT try to load modules or at least manage load errors.
