[Bug 426497] Re: kqemu mode not compiled for karmic
Yes, VirtualBox provides fairly decent performance for non-VT CPUs, almost the equivalent to kqemu. If your guest is a Windows XP machine, ensure you deactivate the ACPI in the VirtualBox launch parameters, and then you'll have to reactivate your Windows XP. Prior to doing that, you have to convert your qemu image to a VMDK image, which is supported by virtual box, using tool qemu-img -- kqemu mode not compiled for karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Yep, I too have a new ASUS U50V laptop with Intel Dual Core but no VT and now no kqemu. I have either compile from source or use non-open source alternatives.

If kqemu support is disabled in karmic, why are the kqemu-source and kqemu-common packages available in the karmic repositories ? I agree with Traumflug's comments - there are MANY multicore processors shipping today that do not support KVM, plus of course, all of the lower end processors.

[Bug 426497] Re: kqemu mode not compiled for karmic
Can we have two packages. One that works with CPUs that support kvm, and one that works with CPUs that do not support kvm, e.g. with kqemu instead. I think it is sensible to assume that all new CPUs will support kvm, so that handles the physical memory 3.5GB issue. But, for older CPUs, that do not support kvm, we need an VM that actually functions. For example, running the ubuntu version of kvm on a machine that does not support kvm, results in kvm running in normal qemu mode, but this has bugs and fails to run when used with 32bit host, and 32bit guest. One gets no vm86_info: BAD messages The original qemu without the kvm patches, works correctly. I have talked to kvm developers and they will not be fixing bugs in the non-kvm code paths, but qemu developers will be fixing bugs in the non-kvm path. Apparently, there are kvm patches that break the non-kvm code paths. So, can we please have two packages, one from the kvm tree, and one from the qemu tree. -- kqemu mode not compiled for karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 426497] Re: kqemu mode not compiled for karmic
Thanks for the report. We've gotten a few requests about this over the last few weeks. I need to respond to all of those here. Upstream QEMU has configured kqemu off by default for 0.11, and has completely removed the code from the tree for 0.12. This is upstream's acknowledgement that kqemu is simply unsupportable. We, Ubuntu, could conceivably ./configure --enable-kqemu for the qemu- kvm-0.11 package in Karmic, however, this would introduce (as I see it) two serious problems... 1) We would be shipping code (in main nonetheless) that upstream is consciously and vocally refusing to support. I think this unwise, at best. We wouldn't get any help fixing/supporting issues (even security vulnerabilities) that come up. 2) And more importantly, enabling kqemu has a *detrimental* effect on ALL Ubuntu KVM users... Enabling kqemu limits the amount of physical memory to VM guests to ~3.5GB. This is something I feel strongly about. Karmic will be around for another 1.5 years, in which we can expect hosts memory to double (at least). I am very open to the possibility of a community maintained qemu-kvm (+kqemu) package in the ubuntu-virt PPA. :-Dustin ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) -- kqemu mode not compiled for karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
