When trying to create a new virtual machine using the virt-manager or
the command line with Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell 6400 Inspiron laptop I get
the following error message:
Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal
error unable to start guest: libvir: error : cannot execute binary
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm: Permission denied

ii libvirt-bin 0.7.5-5ubuntu27
the programs for the libvirt library

- It makes no difference if run as root, and this problem existed on 9.10 on
this machine as well. The problem only appears when using the kvm setting. If
you use qemu it works, though very slowly.

I have enabled the CPU virtualization extensions in the BIOS and
Virtualbox & VMware on the same machine use those without an issue.
The file mentioned has the following permissions in the /usr/bin
directory.
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2010-03-23 15:08 /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
I have also checked the the kvm kernel modules are loaded.
lsmod | grep kvm
- kvm_intel 39384 0
+ kvm_intel 39384 0
kvm 245405 1 kvm_intel
If any further information is required then please just post
Regards
Nick
