Hi there,

How do I get a working xml for mips64el guest when using virt-manager?

The host system is running Ubuntu, but I believe that this is the right 
list for things relating to libvirt.

It errors with:
---------------------------------------------
Unable to complete install: 'this function is not supported by the 
connection driver: 'mips64el' architecture is not supported by CPU driver'

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in 
cb_wrapper
     callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2089, in 
_do_async_install
     guest.installer_instance.start_install(guest, meter=meter)
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 
542, in start_install
     domain = self._create_guest(
   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 
491, in _create_guest
     domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 4034, in createXML
     if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', 
conn=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: this function is not supported by the connection 
driver: 'mips64el' architecture is not supported by CPU driver
---------------------------------------------

This is what I'm trying to use:
