Public bug reported: I'm attempting to install kvm-qemu with libvirt on Ubuntu Lucid amd64 on a quad-core i7. It's a brand-new clean install, fully updated and rebooted. I've been following the Ubuntu KVM docs (from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation), but I'm getting this segfault logged when starting libvirt-bin:

How can I create/get these devices? Why are they not created automatically? FWIW, kvm-ok returns: INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874350 Title: Segfault: Failed to get udev device for syspath '/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/874350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
