[one-users] problems when run "qemu-kvm" under opennebula 3.6.0 installed under ubuntu 12.04 64 bits server OS, with kvm hypervisor

[Javier Fontan]

In ubuntu 12.04 the command qemu-kvm is called kvm and is located in
/usr/bin/kvm. That is the executable used to start VMs, user mode.
qemu-kvm is the name of the service, the one that loads kvm kernel
modules.

OpenNebula uses libvirt that call kvm command to start vm's but,
AFAIK, we don't mess with qemu-kvm service.

What is exactly your problem?
