Fantastic tutorial about qemu-kvm. I have tried other virtualization variants, such as VirtualBox, Boxes, and VM Ware. For different reasons, they all accused me of an error when installing Linux OS. I am currently using Ubuntu 22.04 as a host.

I followed the instructions in this tutorial and was able to install everything I wanted without problems. I thank the author because he will allow me to create a sandbox environment to practice MySQL with Fedora 38.

I had to reboot my machine to get the connection to take (before step 3).

Thanks for the tutorial.

I got the error: “KVM Virt-Manager Error: No active connection to Installed on“.

All the packages you mentioned were installed, service libvirtd was running, and the currently logged-in user was added to the groups kvm and libvirt.

Fixed it by making my user the owner of the libvirt socket:

$ sudo chown username:username /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
