Public bug reported: uvt-kvm currently has only one template for creating KVM guests. The template hardcodes x86-specific values which are not available on non-x86 (arm and ppc64el). Ideally, uvtool could do something like /usr/share/uvtool/$arch-template.xml though we'll need something to handle things like uname -m returning ppc64le, and the "arch" of the packages being ppc64el.
I'll attach a functional template for ppc64le that I can specify via uvt-kvm create 's cli. 1. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 2. $ apt-cache policy uvtool-libvirt uvtool-libvirt: Installed: 0~bzr99-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0~bzr99-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0~bzr99-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid/universe ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. uvt-kvm create --memory 512 --cpu 1 --disk 10 test1 creates a kvm instance on ppc64el host. 4. failed to create the instances because the template wasn't valid for ppc64el guest.
