Hello, I get the following error message on KDE-Linux when running Virtual-Machine Manager which I installed from Flathub. I am wondering if KDE-Linux supports virtual machines and if someone can contact a developer or file a bug report to get the necessary software included because running virtual machines seems like a pretty popular thing to do, but I may be wrong about that.
Thanks for any help.
Could not detect a default hypervisor. Make sure the appropriate QEMU/KVM virtualization and libvirt packages are installed to manage virtualization on this host.
A virtualization connection can be manually added via File->Add Connection
The brief article Nate wrote on this was very helpful. One note: I found that the connection hypervisor type needed for virt-manager running on physical KDE Linux was “QEMU/KVM user session”. In contrast, “QEMU/KVM” worked when using virt-manager (on Kubuntu) to create KDE Linux (and other) VMs.
I seek some additional guidance on how to successfully create shared folders for virt-manager running on KDE Linux. The virtual file system (virtiofsd / libvirtd) parts seem to be there but virt-manager can’t find them (due to my ignorance, no doubt), and thus won’t create the virtual file system needed for shared folders. It will create a virtio-9p file system but that doesn’t seem to operate – again, due to my ignorance. Any ideas?
