I can reproduce this in a VM: 1) boot a clean cloud images (uvt-kvm create lp1387881) 2) apt-get install virtinst 3) sudo virt-install --name juju-bootstrap --ram=2048 --vcpus=1 --hvm --virt-type=kvm --pxe --boot network,hd --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --graphics vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --accelerate --nodisks -d
You'll get the following: $ sudo virt-install --name juju-bootstrap --ram=2048 --vcpus=1 --hvm --virt-type=kvm --pxe --boot network,hd --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --graphics vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --accelerate --nodisks -d [Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:23:29 virt-install 3297] DEBUG (cli:227) Launched with command line: /usr/bin/virt-install --name juju-bootstrap --ram=2048 --vcpus=1 --hvm --virt-type=kvm --pxe --boot network,hd --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --graphics vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --accelerate --nodisks -d [Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:23:29 virt-install 3297] DEBUG (cli:332) Requesting libvirt URI default [Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:23:29 virt-install 3297] DEBUG (cli:334) Received libvirt URI qemu:///system [Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:23:29 virt-install 3297] DEBUG (virt-install:258) Requesting virt method 'hvm', hv type 'kvm'.
