Odd. When you do: kvm -monitor stdio -vnc :1 and then on the terminal type 'info kvm', does it also say 'kvm support: enabled'? Could you give the result of: ls -l /dev/kvm grep kvm /etc/group grep libvirt /etc/group grep qemu /etc/group and the contenets of /var/log/libvirt/qemu/X.log where X is the name of a vm you've been starting with libvirt? ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu KVM error with guest memory >4gb ram + Qemu is running without kvm acceleration in maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/695825 Title: Qemu is running without kvm acceleration in maverick -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
