Comment 9 for bug 469419

Hello Scott,

After upgrading the host to the latest packages I was now able to install Lucid-Beta2 and run it afterwards.
I must admit that I'm now unsure if I remembered to upgrade after the initial Installation since I re installed a few times due to grub issues when installing on a USB drive yet fiddling with the grub installation of the internal drive (but I'll open separate report for that.

For the record though:
I used whatever the default for virt-manager is:
Applications->System Tools->Virtual Machine Manager
(here I had to create a new domain "localhost (QEMU)" due to missing privileges in the "localhost (QEMU Usermode)" domain)
mouse right click->New
Name: Lucid
* Local install media (ISO image or CDROM)
Use ISO Image: <Browse to nfs mounted ubuntu-10.04-beta2-desktop.i386.iso image>
OS type: Linux
Version: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
RAM 512
CPU 1
* Enable storage for this machine
 * create a disk image on the computer's hard drive
20.0 GB
 * Allocate entire disk now
Finish
- Open vm-console to install Lucid in VM
  (the Installation was done in German in Austrian locale)
using full vda block device.
... (continue default installation)

I've attached the virsh dumpxml Lucid > Lucid.xml output anyway.

Thanks for looking into the issue!
