Bug Description

Binary package hint: virt-manager

Following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM for Hardy do not give you a KVM aware virtual machine. The end result is a VM that runs extremely slow.

While using the command line, and launching /usr/bin/kvm directly works, giving you a QEMU/KVM session.

It seems that all the packages using libvirt, virsh virt-manager are not executing KVM, giving you a QEMU only session.

This is likely due to your user not being a member of the kvm group. This is fixed in Intrepid using hal (Bug #273764).

Is this still a problem? Are you absolutely sure you're a member of the kvm group?
