Bug Description
In utopic creating a libvirt VM (through virt-manager or virt-install) fails with: internal error: No PCI buses available.
This is caused by an Ubuntu patch in the qemu package that changes the default machine type to pc-i440fx-utopic.
It also adds an alias "ubuntu" for pc-i440fx-utopic. This seems to be the one actually used.
libvirt has some rules hard-coded how to set up the PCI bus depending on the machine type.
Obviously it doesn't check for "ubuntu".
Attached is a patch that extend the libvirt checks for the ubuntu machine type.

Please open a new bug showing the exact command you are using (and which release/version) which fails.


Thanks, I've sponsored this patch and uploaded it to Utopic.
