doesn't actually work on ubuntu due to kernel permissions

[Mark Eichin]

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725 means the kernel isn't readable so debos (and fakemachine) can't work. The problem manifests as

2018/09/28 18:07:24 open failed: /lib/modules/4.15.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio.ko - open /lib/modules/4.15.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio.ko: no such file or directory

and https://github.com/go-debos/fakemachine/issues/12 makes it clear that upstream doesn't really have any way to work around this.

[Mark Eichin (eichin-gmail)]

Ok, I over-interpreted some of the tickets - it doesn't get far enough to run into the permissions problems, because it doesn't deal with `virtio` being builtin instead of a module (which is what the error is from, the `writerKernelModules` function in `fakemachine/machine.go`. Still in the "why is this in ubuntu if there's no way for it to actually work" category, though.
