Comment 12 for bug 1305191

Hi All,
I have similar issue to Kent's. Not much is on Google and I did all according to your posts and VMM still does not want to add a VM machine. I'm a linux newbie and there is definitely something I have missed. Please help. Thanks!

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -machine pc-i440fx-2.1,accel=kvm,usb=off: Unsupported machine type
Use -machine help to list supported machines!
