[Bug 518854] Re: Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt'
Hello, The solution is to fix the configuration. Just delete the line driver name='qemu' type='raw'/ on the config file. Usually the location is on /etc/libvirt/qemu/yourvm.xml Then restart the libvirt, and set the boot order from cdrom.

[Bug 518854] Re: Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt'
A bug's status reflects whether the issue is fixed in whichever version of Ubuntu is currently in development, so the correct status of this bug is indeed Fix Released. However, if you want this bug fixed in Hardy as well, you can nominate it for backport to Hardy, and this effort will then be tracked separately. -- Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt 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 518854] Re: Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt'
Hmm, I have to give some extra information. The server running libvirt-bin is hardy. Virt-manager, however, is running on Lucid. Could it be that Lucid's virt-manager creates configuration files that can't be read by older libvirt-bin versions? -- Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt 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 518854] Re: Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt'
You've misunderstood the issue. You have to upgrade the server to Lucid, not the client. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt 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 518854] Re: Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt'
I don't have to upgrade to Lucid. Hardy is still supported. I downgraded (reinstalled) the server from Lucid to hardy to test stability of some failing virtual machines. At first sight, they are stable, but I couldn't use virt-manager to generate the configuration. I used the command line as a workaround. As I understand it, virt-manager doesn't change its configuration according to the version of libvirt it is connecting to. libvirt does not understand the 'fmt' parameter, but it doesn't have to. If the parameter is not supported, virt-manager shouldn't try to use it. -- Unable to create virtual machine: unknown parameter 'fmt' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt 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

I can confirm that the commit that Marc identified is in Lucid's libvirt. Marking fix-released. Please reopened if you can reproduce this bug.
