I have no idea if this information will help or not, but I am getting this exact same error message, but from a different scenario. I had Windows Vista installed and running fine in libvirt / KVM on Ubuntu 10.04, libvirt0 0.7.5-5ubuntu7, kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.12.3+0ubuntu2, qemu-kvm 0.12.3-0ubuntu2 on an Intel Core 2 quad core system.
All was fine -- even had a USB multi-function printer working successfully. Then I made the mistake of installing the Microsoft Security Essentials pack so that I'd have virus protection and such. I was a bit worried that it might fail the "genuine" test since it would not see the Dell hardware, but instead the virtual hardware, but to my surprise it passed that step fine and went on to do an install. I later rebooted. And the machine will no longer boot. Clicking "run" in Virtual Machine Manager does nothing, and shortly thereafter Ubuntu Gnome dims the VMM application because it has stopped responding. Eventually, I get a pop-up with the error message described in this bug report. Looks like I'm going to have to completely re-install Vista (and NOT Security Essentials). -- Unable to create a new VM when selecting PXE boot and kvm-pxe is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
