@dkorzhevin

‘drive-virtio-disk0’ uses a qcow2 feature which is not supported by this qemu version: QCOW version 3

The problem is that the image is in a format not compatible with qemu < 1.1. We forgot to convert it to a compatible version before uploading it. You can do two things.

• Convert the image in a machine with qemu >= 1.1 with this command:

$ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -o compat=0.10 origin.qcow2 destination.qcow2

• Download an older version of the image:

http://appliances.opennebula.systems/rel-4.8/Ubuntu-14.04.qcow2.gz.old

The old version has a problem with loopback device and it does not get IP. Making some services fail.

You can find the fix for the loopback problem in this post:

Loopback address missing in Ubuntu 14.04 (KVM)

There is no updated package that fixes the problem. There is one for utopic but not for trusty (irony). I’ve managed to make the loopback work adding a script in /etc/one-context.d/06-loopback that contains: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 Make sure to make the script executable. You can do it easily without starting the VM using guestfish. Something like: # guestfish -ia image.qcow2 > touch /etc/one-context.d/06-loopback > vi /etc/one-context.d/06-loopback > chmod 0755 /etc/one-context.d/06-loopback >…

Thank you for help! I used older image and modified it.
