   -- I finally got it running!   I did what you said, and created a VM.   I basically followed this guys video tutorial.  The only difference is I used the stable/liberty instead of the stable/icehouse (which I guess no longer exists).   It is, however, *very* slow on my machine, with 4 giga bytes and 30 GB HDD.  

   I did have some problems getting VirtualBox working (I know others are using VMware) with their "guest additions", because none of the standard instructions worked.    Some user on askubuntu.com here had the answer.  This gave me the bigger screen.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/451805/screen-resolution-problem-with-ubuntu-14-04-and-virtualbox



  The answer given by the guy named "Chip" and then the reply to him by "Snark" did the trick.   

The tutorial I used:

  I supplied details here in case anyone else has the same difficulties.

   Thanks for the help!

Thanks for any help.

In case it helps, I had no problem using DevStack's stable/liberty branch yesterday.  If you don't specifically need master, you might try that too:

  # Clone the DevStack repository.
  git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack

  # Use the stable/liberty branch.
  cd devstack
  git checkout stable/liberty

  ...

I also just looked again at your report on openstack at .  Were you using Python 2.7?

I expect you'll have seen discussions like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23176697/importerror-no-module-named-io-in-ubuntu-14-04.  It's not obvious to me how those can be relevant, though, as they seem to involve corruption of an existing virtualenv, whereas DevStack I believe creates a virtualenv from scratch.

When you say 'on Ubuntu 14.04', are we talking a completely fresh install with nothing else on it?  That's the most reliable way to run DevStack - people normally create a fresh disposable VM for this kind of work.
