Hi Satheera, the issue is now fixed in Zesty (Development release) and and the Dependency a suggest. But there is no intention to bring that as a feature back to Xenial. Especially since the daemon itself is only in universe I'd not consider it all too trustworthy.
I was ok with enabling since it is opt-in and only installed by user (no hard dependency), but putting that into Xenial would take serious convincing efforts to the SRU team. If you want / need that please give it a try (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), but I'm personally not yet convinced it is worth. ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621121 Title: VM fails to start when vcpu placement='auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1621121/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
