Bug Description

Binary package hint: virt-manager

It's not possibile to create a new arm VM because qemu expect the -kernel parameter that wasn't asked by virt-manager wizard.

Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3
Kernel image must be specified

the virt-manager version that is now in natty supports specifying a kernel to boot, so I'm marking this bug as Fix Released. If you are still having issues with virt-manager in natty, please feel free to reopen this. Thanks.
