Public bug reported: I just got 1:2.6.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3. Now, when starting some of my VMs-
laney@nightingale> virsh start xenial-vm error: Failed to start domain xenial-vm error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2016-09-21T12:20:27.252537Z qemu-system-x86_64: -enable-kvm: unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines It's because the configuration has <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-wily'>hvm</type> </os> (I created the VM on a system which didn't know about xenial at the time). Fixing it to xenial there works. However, this took some effort to work out - as you can see the error message is particularly cryptic. In fact I was using virt-manager to launch it, but that just prints the same message. Is it possible to deal with this somehow? Like by restoring the old releases, migrating VMs to a newer one, or at least printing a better message. ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: ChristianEhrhardt (paelzer) Status: New ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => ChristianEhrhardt (paelzer) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626070 Title: Removal of former release machine types breaks VMs using them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1626070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
