I just tried KVM under Hardy (which I’m loving by the way) and had some notes in case any other early adopters wanted to give it a try.
To install it, you need three packages (at least, I did):
sudo aptitude install kvm virt-manager libvirt-bin
You’ll also need to add yourself to three groups:
- System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
- Click “Unlock”
- Enter password, etc.
- Click “Manage Groups”
- Under each of the following groups, make sure your user name is checked:
- kvm
- vde2-net
- libvirtd
- Reboot!
When you get the system back up, the Virtual Machine Manager is under Applications -> System Tools.
Have fun!!!
