Public bug reported:
I've installed precise in virtual machines running on top of the Xen 4.0
hypervisor (with a Debian squeeze dom0).
In both i386 machines (running 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu) and amd64
machines (with 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu), "facter is_virtual" prints out
"false" and "facter virtual" prints out "physical".
The desired answers are "true" and "xenu", respectively.
This is related to upstream issue #2747 but I'm not aware of upstream
having found a definitive solution to this problem. I have tested a
patch, based on an analysis of the systems I run, and it does the job
for me but of course I cannot vouch for its universality. I will be
attaching my patch to this bug report.
