I have a bare metal server with RYZEN 9 5950X AMD and UBUNTU Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS with VIRTUALIZOR KVM VIRTUALISATION and I am experiencing a crash problem very often.

Initially I thought it was a problem regarding the high CPU usage or a network crash due to too much bandwidth use by the different vpses.

Sometimes the server crashes for a few seconds and other times it goes completely offline until a ...

I used Ubuntu 20.04 as host and create a Windows 10 VM (21H1) in KVM (via the GUI). In the VM I pass my graphics card (RTX2070) and the whole group via PCI passthrough, which works thanks to various guides.

After I installed updates/drivers in the VM, the graka is also recognized. I can also install programs or restart the VM without any problems, but as soon as I restart the host (with the VM sw ...

When I boot up a live desktop ISO in Virtual Machine Manager (kvm/qemu), the live system is super snappy and when I look at the "Resources" in the System monitor the 4 supplied cores are pretty much idle (RAM: 6GB, no problem).

Then I install the 21.04 desktop as "minimal". After the reboot the responsiveness experienced in the live ISO is not there anymore in the "true" VM. I can wait for hours, b ...

I am trying to find a solution to setup KVM with an internal NAT based bridge, I am using NetPlan for config

Essentially my server is a dedicated server from a provider so I do not have an internal network to play with. I know on the Windows platform with Hyper-V I can just create a VM switch and assign it an IP/mask, create a NAT for that IP/mask and boom! You have a gateway and subnet you can u ...

About 2 weeks ago my VM became unreachable from the Internet - I can't access it via ssh, I can't access the files stored on it but I can ping it. I have KVM VNC Setup for it so I logged on and I tried to ping google.com but it resulted in the Temporary failure in name resolution error. However, it is successfully able to ping IPs directly such as the 1.1.1.1 DNS Server and any public IP.

Is there a key combination to enter and exit fullscreen view in virt-manager, while a virtual machine is running, and its window open?

Obviously I can enter or exit using mouse:

To enter: Click View > Fullscreen

To exit: Hover mouse at the top-center, and click Leave fullscreen icon.

I have tried key combinations from this AskUbuntu thread: How do I unmaximize full screen view in virt-manager?

my networking knowledge on linux is pretty limited and I have been trying to assign static IP addresses to each of my VM's as they need to communicate with one another.

I have been reading some networking QEMU documentation regarding TUN/TAP interfaces, as well as configuring br0 with qemu-ifup and qemu-ifdown. However, I've just recovered from completely losing my wifi connection. So I have deci ...

Guests can't access internet in KVM NAT network. Guest can't ping host, the home router and other hosts on the lan but can't access website or ping DNS like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

Running KVM on 20.04.2 LTS; I have two VMs running. When I use VNCViewer from a Windows box and connect to the IP of the KVM Host, I see a terminal window to one of the two VMs, NOT the host - any ideas appreciated.

I have been trying to set up a QEMU + KVM configuration to run a couple of VMs on Ubuntu as the host. I even have been able to passthrough a GPU successfully to the guests.

However, there seems to be an issue passing through input devices. No matter what I do or which guide I follow, I always get the following error in VM logs:

Yesterday my system crashed forcing me to do a hard reset on my host machine whilst running 2 virtual machines. The first machine survived and the second has been put into a read only mode. After logging in to the VM I am presented with the following messages.

On Ubuntu 21.04, VMs run slow. I used Ubuntu 21.04 on both host and guest and the VMs were very slow, even on moving the windows with the mouse. I had to go back to Ubuntu 20.04 where they work fine.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.2 (64-bit) as host and Q4OS(32-bit) as guest. I have added camera from USB host devices and hence it works now on using google meet in virtual machine.

But I am still unable to use mic there and meet says that my mic is not working. What can I do? (Please note that I haven't added mic from usb host device as I can't find it there).

Currently on Ubuntu 20.04 both as host and guest, I followed http://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/virtio-3d-vms/ and activated 3D acceleration on video, and OpenGL on dsplay, but on VM launch I get

SPICE GL support is local only for now and incompatible with -spice port/tls-port

How can I make it work?

UPDATE:

I disabled Listen Type to None

like this

but I get a very glitchy image:

usb 3.0 devices never worked on virt-manager for me. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on both host and guest, and only 2.0 redirection works. When I do 3.0, it simply does not appear on the guest on lsusb neither on disks (for a flash drive for example)

I'm using the "redirect usb device" option, and the virt-manager is 2.2.1

I'm trying to read the contents of a USB 3 external hard drive. It's got a GPT partition table, with almost all space allocated to a single Core Storage partition, which contains a single HFS+ volume of interest.

One day I booted my computer and logged in and my desktop was empty. I was now in /home/kvm/Desktop. I never created this user. All my stuff is still under home/ben, so no data has been lost. kvm however does not have sudo privileges, and I am not sure how to log in as 'ben.'

The only thing I can think of is my cat typed something while I was away.

How do I begin to address this problem?

I get the error message "Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory qemu-system-x84_64: failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"

I have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz and on my task manager performance tab, under CPU it states that I have virtulization enabled.

What must I do to enable virtulization on Ubuntu?
