[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#623537: virt-manager: Confirms issue

[nils+buglist at gaupne.net]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:2.0.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #623537

Dear Maintainer,


I can confirm to experience the same issue, virt-manager/libvirt are
unable to detect the presence of KVM on the system. It stopped working
after updating to version 1.2.0.0-3. Virt-manager the tries to run the
virtual machines with QEMU TCG...

I've checked with both lsmod and kvm-ok and they reports that the 
required modules are
loaded.  Intel Virtualisation Technology is enabled in BIOS.
The CPU running on the machineis an i7 7820HQ. I've tried purging all
qemu-system-* libvirt-* packages and reinstalling qemu-kvm, libvirt-client,
qemu-utils and libvirt-daemon-system

As opposed to using libivirt I can run the virtual machines fine with 
qemu-system and
experience bare-metal performance. So my guess is that this might be a
bug in libvirt/ virt-manager, as the other systems can detect KVM us
usual ?

Best regards,
Nils J. Haugen
