Hi I'm using Ubuntu Kvm and whonix, I'm able to install it and have whonix start up. Then I restart my server and everytime I keep having this error. Can anyone please help me.

I am moving my virtual machines from Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2 to KVM/libvirt/etc on Ubuntu 20.04, and I need to recreate the network configuration I had before. I have had no problems importing the VMs but a difference in the way networks for the virtual machines work has me stumped.

On Hyper-V, all of the virtual machines shared the host network interface, and got their IP addresses fro ...

I'm running KVM on bare metal Ubuntu 20.04, and in order to get guest to host networking functional, I added a macvlan interface. I added a script under /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/10-macvlan-interfaces.sh to create the macvlan interface on boot up, which seems to work.

#! /bin/bash
ip link add macvlan0 link enp35s0 type macvlan mode bridge

With one of the last Ubuntu updates I can't login on console anymore, because I'm getting no login prompt.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on a Synology Virtual Machine and try to connect to the console via the web interface. I only see some kernel messages.

I tried to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 / Ctrl+F1, but no success. I guess the web interface doesn't send these special key combination correctly.

Any ideas?

This is the issue: I created a floppy image which I want to add to an existing virtual machine. I added the disk from the virtual machine manager but when I boot the vm I get this error:

Good day to everyone,

I have acquired a laptop for mainly studying purposes and the occasional OTG gaming session. The laptop in questions is an MSI Pulse GL66 with an RTX 3070 (80Watt). To get on with my problem, I've been studying online on how I could run Ubuntu on the laptop as the main (Host) OS and then have a Windows 10 VM so I can run, some specific applications (i.e MATLAB with Simulink, ...

Background: Running Kubuntu in a GNOME Boxes virtual machine has missing desktop switching effects.

Elsewhere, it has been suggested that this may be due to missing 3D acceleration. In VirtualBox with 3D acceleration, the effects show (without it, KDE complains).

The GNOME Boxes website states that 3D Acceleration is supported if both guest and host virtual machines support it. I therefore hope to make ...

Complete noob here on VMs.

I have a good spec (EPYC 7502P 32-Core) Ubuntu 20.04 server where I am not using all the resources for the task I am currently running. Is it possible create multiple VMs within that server where I can run different tasks? I want to allocate specific number of cpus/ram/storage (single nvme ssd) to that VM and ssh into it remotely. Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks! ...

I'm interested in running Fusion 360 and set up a virtual machine to do this effectively. However, VirtualBox caps out at vRAM 256MB which hinders the performance of Fusion, and I was wondering if there are other VMs that offer higher vRAM capacities.

Running Ubuntu 20.04 When running the virt-v2v I am getting an error on the virtual machine output created by vmware's converter for p2v.

This is the error message: virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: inspect_os: lstat: /Windows/System32/cmd.exe: Input/output error

Verbose listing of output is too large for the body of this message

Hi I am posting this because all of the guides I can find involve a GUI. I am using Ubuntu server and controlling it with cockpit. I installed the following packages to get virtual machines working: qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager. I can use my Windows 10 Pro guest from the web interface, but I need it to save my DVR recordings to /Data/Tank/Plex/Playon. If I go se ...

What are the minimal set of additional packages (over a basic server install) I would need on Ubuntu Server 20.04 to run a KVM (for argument's sake lets say it's a virtualized instance of Ubuntu 20.04)?

I basically want to run KVM on the command-line, for some reason most of the guides I have found only deal with using virt-manager and I want to avoid using a GUI.

I've used the Linux SailFish OS my on my old Jolla1 phone and I remember I could install and run Android apps via the Alien Dalvik VM.

I have a dual Ubuntu/Windows PC. I installed VirtualBox on Windows OS but it didn't work. I read that I had to enable virtualization on the BIOS, so I did it. After that, grub didn't start. I tried to restore grub with supergrub2 without success. Tried with a live CD without success. Tried to reinstall Ubuntu 21.10... I couldn't.

So I went to BIOS to disable virtualization, and grub started corre ...

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.3 and libvirt for virtualization. The default bridge works well with NAT and I am able to establish internet connections.

With a bridge to have a VM on the same network, I cannot go beyond the server.

Does somebody have an idea?

I've been using Ubuntu on VirtualBox for about a year now, but I recently learned about WSL, and it seems a lot more useful for my purposes. I've been trying to migrate all my data out of the VirtualBox VM, but I'm unable to find any resources online that tell me how to do so. I was able to migrate my VM and all the data within to Hyper-V in the hopes that migration from Hyper-V to WSL2 would be simpler ...

"The multipass launch command without any argument will create and start a new instance"

Not clear to me what is actually happening with this.  Is it running Ubuntu on another computer, x11/ssh/rlogin/etc ? Or does it create a local virtual machine?

Is the instance persistent, or does it (and all its data & history) cease to exist when you're done with it?

If remote and persistent, does it make y ...

I installed the official device driver in windows and the device is recognized and working. However, the audio devic ...

I've a KVM booting problem that appears different to the others I can find described online.

I have a guest that fails to boot every few days. No combination of destroy or restarting libvirtd services can make it boot, I have to reboot the entire host and then it's luck again as to whether the guest will boot.

I'd say roughly 75% of the time the guest boots successfully.
