[one-users] Ubuntu shutdown/image save

[Sean Abbott]

ACPI: Enabled by default in the KVM driver.  I didn't explicitly enable
it in the template, but it is working because the VM does actually shut
down.

No errors that I've found anywhere other than the ones in the VM log.

I did keep a VNC connection open and everything appeared to shut off
cleanly.  I also identified the machine doman in virsh and ran manual
"virsh --connect qemu:///system --readonly dominfo 4" commands to watch
it come down, and nearly instantly the command (which is what is used by
the shutdown while loop) comes back with an exit code of 1 and a 'failed
to get domain" because the domain doesn't exist any more. 

No, I restart the VM several times and each time it boots from the hard
disk.  Plus, I have been monitoring the VNC and it doesn't give me the
"please remove the disc" like it does after the first reboot.

Now, I also installed some xubuntu clients, because there are possibly
some issues with ubuntu itself powering off versus halting.  What was
weird was that when I issued a shutdown WITHOUT the saveas, it worked
fine (VM exited, disappeared from the VM list)  However, when the saveas
was involved, I had the same error.
