Virt-manager will exit with error 'internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64'

[Vladimir Skubriev]

Virt-manager will exit with error 'internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64'

In the latest updates for ubuntu 12.04.

There is a bug in upstream of virt-manager.

See Redhat bug tracker.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726167

Redhat is fixed all today.

What about ubuntu 12.04 ?

Thanks for reporting this issue. Are you able to reproduce it with virtinst 0.600.1 that is now in Precise?

This is a true/real problem.

I am having the same problem and virtualization is enabled in bios and I have the latest packages for 12.04 lte
virtinst (0.600.1-1ubuntu3)

[Evren Yurtesen (eyurtese-g)]

Please ask if you need more information about this problem... It is strange that it was just closed...

What is the output of the "kvm-ok" command if you run it in a terminal?

I had this error on 12.04 when I was booted in the xen hypervisor. I added this to my .bashrc:

export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=”xen:///”

The problem was then resolved. I found the information here:
https://sanifool.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/installation-of-libvirt-on-xen-for-ubuntu/

I hope this helps others

Sorry, forgot to mention you will of course need to logout and log back in to reread .bashrc
