Greetings all,
I have install Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 on a Dell 1950 with 8GB of RAM. I installed virt-manager which pulled in all the usual dependencies.
When trying to create a guest through virt-manager, the installation media (a local ISO file, in this case also Ubuntu Server 18.04.3) boots GRUB and asks about keyboard and language; and then when the kernel boots, the ramdisk loads, and the guest reboots.
I have tried this with other bootable images with the same result: kernel loads, ramdisk loads, guest reboots.
Nothing unusual/unexpected (compared to working libvirtd/qemu installations on Ubuntu desktop [non-server]) is logged in the usual places (/var/log/libvirtd/qemu/*), I have increased logging verbosity in /etc/libvirtd/libvirtd.conf with no success, etc.
Out of curiosity, I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.3 LTS on this same hardware, and have no problem getting guests running.
So, this is some problem that exists with Ubuntu Server 18.04.3, that does not exist on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.3 LTS.
Help?
