Here are the results from my testing: Test 1: VT Enabled in BIOS(On a machine that supports VT):
$ kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used Test 2a: (run this on a system that does not support VT) j...@jts-ubuntu:/etc/apt$ kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist HINT: sudo modprobe kvm KVM acceleration can NOT be used Test 2b: (sudo modprobe -r kvm, and then re-run kvm-ok and see that /dev/kvm is gone) Note: I had to remove the kvm_intel module on my system before I could remove kvm. $ kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist HINT: sudo modprobe kvm KVM acceleration can NOT be used Test 2c: (reboot into BIOS, disable VT, and re-run kvm-ok) $ kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist HINT: sudo modprobe kvm INFO: KVM is disable by your BIOS HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT) KVM acceleration can NOT be used All of the tests worked as expected. Only two minor things that could be changed: 1. The text when VT Extensions are disabled in the bios could be updated to say "KVM is disabled" instead of "KVM is disable". 2. Maybe not print the text "HINT: sudo modprobe kvm in the cases" in the cases when it would not work anyway, such as in test 2a and 2c. -- kvm disabled in bios (was: Unable to start EUC instances - no supported architecture for os type 'hvm') https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
