[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Simon, or anyone else affected,

Accepted landscape-client into cosmic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-
client/18.01-0ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The dmi id for Nutanix cloud instances was added to the detection list
     for it to be properly detected as KVM.

   [Test Case]

   * create a vm (uvt-kvm create --no-start vm_name release=xenial)
   * virsh edit vm_name (and create or update sysinfo manufacturer to be "nutanix", like https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/C5mkc2B7rx/)
   * install landscape-client/common and call landscape-config
   * see the computer is detected as kvm

  [Regression Potential]

   * The hypervisor detection change is both trivial and similar to
  previous changes and is specific enough not to conflict with other
  hypervisors.

  [Other Info]

   * Patches are already in the upstreams trunk.
   * Changes have been tested by some affected users
