Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
If you name your physical machine "kvm" and use the guided partitioner for lvm,
the path /dev/kvm will be used by lvm.
This leads to problem when you later install package "kvm" that also wants to
use /dev/kvm.
The result is that kvm is not working and saying that hardware virtualization
support can't be found.
This problem is because users can accidental choose a computer name that ubuntu
installer is using as lvm name.
Maybe a solution can be to restrict what lvm names that can be created by the
user under the installation. And with the guided partitioner under
installation, add a random prefix all the time.
Please move this bug to the right project here on launchpad. Like "ubuntu
installer project" (can't find it myself).
