Can't deploy focal KVM hosts

[Jorge Niedbalski]

[Environment]

Focal 20.04

maas 2.8.0~beta4-8512-g.1897d06c8 6741 latest/edge canonical* -
maas-cli 0.6.5 13 latest/stable canonical* -

Reproducible with 2.7 as well.

[Description]

I have a all-in-one installation with only 20.04 images synchronized and settings
enforced to use 20.04 for commissioning/deploy as default.

* Isn't possible to deploy a machine with focal + selecting it as
"Register as MAAS KVM host", the error "ubuntu/bionic is not a supported operating system and release combination." is raised.

Steps to reproduce.

1) Select Deploy
2) Select 20.04 and default kernel
3) Click on "register as MAAS KVM host"
4) Click on deploy

Error "ubuntu/bionic is not a supported operating system and release combination." is raised.

libvirt-bin is not available in Focal and the UI is filtering the deployment of Focal+KVM. I'm attaching two patches for MAAS 2.8 that enable that combination by updating the UI filter and replacing the package with ones that are available both in Bionic and Focal (libvirt-daemon, libvirt-clients..). I've been testing the change and it seems to work fine.

Since this bug was filed, MAAS has grown support for deploying KVM hosts on Focal and beyond - can you confirm if this works for you now in a stable MAAS release (e.g. 3.2.2)
