This bug is caused by the Ubuntu kernel lacking the virtio-serial module (virtio_console.ko). You need to install the corresponding 3.2.0-57-virtual package that contains extra modules. I believe it may be called linux-image-extra-3.2.0-57-virtual This is in turn a bug in the Ubuntu packaging of libguestfs, since it should pull in the right kernel modules (and also set the permissions on the kernel image). So please open a bug with Ubuntu to fix the packaging. Other than what Rich said in comment #1, it looks like Ubuntu kernels in recent versions have virtio_console directly built-in: $ grep -i virtio /boot/config-$(uname -r) [...] CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y Hence, closing. |
