Public bug reported: When creating and starting a virtual machine through qemu-launcher, it will run unaccelerated and therefore very slow. In my case this is because qemu-launcher runs:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -m 256 -hda 'MyDisk1' -cdrom 'debian-7.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso' -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -localtime -kernel-kqemu This should be: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -m 256 -hda 'MyDisk1' -cdrom 'debian-7.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso' -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -localtime -enable-kvm >>>>>> (notice the last parameter.) This can be changed, as I did on my machine on line 1319 of /usr/bin /qemu-launcher ** Affects: qemu-launcher (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247395 Title: qemu-launcher runs parameter:"-kernel-kqemu".
