this worked me. running ...

virsh edit your-virtual-machine-name 

which ask editor use, , show generated xml virtual machine. section ...

<os>   <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-vivid'>hvm</type>   <bootmenu enable='no'/> </os> 

can changed ...

<os>   <type arch='x86_64' machine='ubuntu'>hvm</type>   <bootmenu enable='no'/> </os> 

based on looking @ machine ...

$ kvm-spice -machine supported machines are: ubuntu               ubuntu 16.10 pc (i440fx + piix, 1996) (alias of pc-i440fx-yakkety) pc-i440fx-yakkety    ubuntu 16.10 pc (i440fx + piix, 1996) (default) pc-i440fx-xenial     ubuntu 16.04 pc (i440fx + piix, 1996) pc-i440fx-wily       ubuntu 15.04 pc (i440fx + piix, 1996) pc-i440fx-trusty     ubuntu 14.04 pc (i440fx + piix, 1996) . . . 

it looks pc-i440fx-vivid either no longer supported or left out (possibly because has reached end-of-life).
