[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1305402] Re: libvirt fails to start VirtualMachines
This has just happened to me. For some reason, all my machines had machine='pc-i440fx-wily'. After an update in yakkety, they stopped working. $ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -machine help | grep wily So I updated the machine xml to a supported machine as Charles suggested, and they work again. Here's the note for my future self about how to do the update: $ virsh dumpxml $machine-name > /tmp/machine.xml Edit the xml. $ virsh define /tmp/machine.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305402 Title: libvirt fails to start VirtualMachines Status in QEMU: Invalid Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've created several kvm based machines using virtual machine manager.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1305402] Re: libvirt fails to start VirtualMachines
Thanks for reporting this bug. We briefly had a 'trusty' machine type, with a corresponding libvirt patch to handle it. When we renamed the trusty machine type we dropped the libvirt patch to handle it. We should either re-introduce the libvirt patch to handle the trusty machine type for those who have stale VM definitions, or mention this in the release notes. In either case we should keep this bug open to guide others who run into this problem. ** Also affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305402 Title: libvirt fails to start VirtualMachines Status in QEMU: Invalid Status in “libvirt” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “qemu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've created several kvm based machines using virtual machine manager.

They have operated well over the last 4 days without issue. I did an apt-get upgrade, and qemu was in the list of updates. After upgrading, I am unable to start any of the provisioned virtual machines with the following error output virsh # start node2 error: Failed to start domain node2 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -machine trusty,accel=kvm,usb=off: Unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines! virsh # start node3 error: Failed to start domain node3 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -machine trusty,accel=kvm,usb=off: Unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines! $ dpkg -l | grep kvm ii qemu-kvm 2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-0ubuntu3 amd64QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware (transitional package) Log snippet from vm 'media' that was verified working, and fails to start after the upgrade.
