QEMU/KVM/virt-manager installed but I can't make virtualization work.
by MikeVx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FWCS)
I decided to see if I could move from VirtualBox to QEMU/KVM for virtualizing. I managed to get things installed by using the SBOpkg list from this thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest....php?p=6394372
I had to juggle some configuration files and user settings, and I got limited success.
I can run virt-manager and get the interface. I managed to get the KVM modules installed and the libvirtd and QEMU services running.
First thing, I start virt-manager and it informs me that KVM is not available. I query the modules and get back that there are three KVM modules running.
I try to create a VM without KVM, and when I go to connect to an ISO file, I get "Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtstoraged-sock': No such file or directory.
At this point, I'm wondering how much effort to put into this, given that I have a working solution in VirtualBox.
This is on Slackware64-15.0
