Thank you for your report. This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu.
Your supplied XML contains "<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>". Your VM got destroyed on shutdown because this is what you requested. You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu. If you believe that this is really a bug, then we'd be grateful if you would then explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your configuration, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381383 Title: Vm destroyed when created virsh create without --autodestroy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1381383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
