I can confirm the above too. What I've taken to doing is installing the VM with kvm on the command line as William mentions above, and then using virt-manager / virsh afterwards. This works fine for me. William I've attached the xml file I'm currently using fine from virt-manager, hope it helps.
There's still the problem with the initial VM creation though. ** Attachment added: "libvirt xml file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14629464/xplite.xml -- Cannot create Windows VM using virsh or virt-manager with KVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
