In this video tutorial, we will cover how to install KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS system and demonstrate creating a virtual machine using the virt-manager application. ########## KVM Installation Steps on Ubuntu 24.04 ############## 1) Package Apt Repository Packages Index sudo apt update 2) Check if Virtualization is enabled egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo Install the cpu-checker package sudo apt install -y cpu-checker Another way to check if KVM virtualization is enabled kvm-ok 3) Install KVM on Ubuntu 24.04 sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm virt-manager libvirt-daemon-system virtinst libvirt-clients bridge-utils 4) Enable and start virtualization daemon sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd sudo systemctl start libvirtd Check virtualization daemon is running sudo systemctl status libvirtd 5) Add Your Local User to the KVM and Libvirt Group sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER 6) Create Network Bridge using netplan Create a file with following content sudo vi /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager ethernets: ens33: dhcp4: false dhcp6: false bridges: br0: interfaces: [ens33] dhcp4: false addresses: [192.168.2.120/24] routes: - to: default via: 192.168.2.1 metric: 100 nameservers: addresses: [8.8.8.8] save and close the file. sudo chmod 600 /etc/netplan/*.yaml Now, run following command to apply above network changes sudo netplan apply 7) Launch KVM Virt-Manager and Create Virtual Machines #howto #kvm #virtualization #ubuntu If you have found this tutorial informative and useful, kindly do subscribe our channel and like the video.
