Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
I'm running KVM, and many tutorials I see mention that if the hardware
virtualization features and the kvm module are used, the title bar
should read "QEMU/KVM" instead of just "QEMU".
Running "egrep -o '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo" outputs "vmx" twice.
Running "groups" shows that I am in the kvm group. In my BIOS,
virtualization processor extensions are enabled.
If I remove my user from the kvm group (and log out / back in) or
disable the virtualization extensions in the BIOS, kvm runs noticeably
slower, so I'm convinced that it normally is using the hardware
features, but the title bar still reads as just "QEMU".
Is the title bar not supposed to change? And are there any other ways to
check that it really is using the hardware virtualization features?
----
I'm in Ubuntu 9.04, using kvm version 0.9.1 (kvm-84) from the repository.
