I don't believe this bug is valid. I tested it by exploiting the fact that '$domain' is used in /etc/vmbuilder/ubuntu/etc_hosts.tmpl. So, I ran:
vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=lucid --mirror=http://localhost:3142/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ --config=my.cfg where my.cfg contained: ============================ [ubuntu] domain = fakehallyn.com hostname = myvm ============================= The /etc/hosts on the resulting machine contained my entries. In your example .cfg file, you have 'domain' under [kvm/ubuntu]. Since you didn't show me your templates I can't be sure, but I suspect you needed to use [kvm] or [ubuntu]. I'm marking this Invalid. If you feel I'm wrong about that, please re- mark it 'New' and upload all your templates in a tarfile (so that I can also see their hierarchy). ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705395 Title: $domain is not available in libvirtxml.tmpl -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
