[Bug 500272] Re: qemu-kvm 0.12.1.1 needed for KSM support (key KVM virtualization feature)

[Brian Knoll]

** Summary changed:

- qemu-kvm 0.12.1.1 needed for KSM support (key virtualization feature)
+ qemu-kvm 0.12.1.1 needed for KSM support (key KVM virtualization feature)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
  
- KSM is supported by the current Lucid kernel.  However, the current
- version of the qemu-kvm package, 0.11, does not support KSM.  Therefore,
- memory usage will be suboptimal, as this key feature is disabled for KVM
- VM guests unless a high enough version of the qemu-kvm package is used.
+ KSM is supported by the current Ubuntu Lucid kernel.  However, the

+ Therefore, memory usage will be suboptimal, as this key feature is
+ disabled for KVM VM guests unless a high enough version of the qemu-kvm
+ package is used.
  
  Since this is an LTS release, I strongly recommend resolving this issue,
  as virtualization features such as KSM are crucial for many users, and
  failure to get this into the LTS release means LTS users will probably
  have to wait another two years, or build things themselves (outside of
  the shipped packages).
