Public bug reported: I am trying to create a new virtual machine with Virtual Machine Manager but keep receiving this error "Unable to complete install: 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree". The OS guest I am trying to install on the VM is Ubuntu server 14.04.4, 64 bit. The host OS (where the virtual manager is installed) is KUbuntu 16.04 .
Below is the full message that appears after completing the 5-steps VM creation process and clicking on finish on virt-manager: Unable to complete install: 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.'
