Yes, we need the qemu workaround to be removed. I see all required kernel patches are in master-next of bionic. Understand that both of these cannot be timed.. but having qemu changes revert today.. would we get updated kernel and qemu in tomorrows daily build? just wanted to understand what would be time window.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752026 Title: Ubuntu18.04:POWER9:DD2.2 - Unable to start a KVM guest with default machine type(pseries-bionic) complaining "KVM implementation does not support Transactional Memory, try cap-htm=off" (kvm) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1752026/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
