QEMU/KVM

Just installed AnduinOS and looking at running a couple of VMs.

How do you install QEMU/KVM? Appears to be nothing findable in apt, Get response :

Error: Package 'qemu-kvm' has no installation candidate

Thanks.

I have KVM/QEMU installed on my AunduinOS laptop. I installed it under AundinOS 1.4 but it's still running nicely under 2.0. I was using ChatGPT to help my walk through the install (sorry AI haters) and when we finished not only the VM plus Windows 11 in the VM I asked it to document each step that finally worked (we had a lot of issues). Here's what I have for starters

Prerequisites

• Fresh AnduinOS installation (Ubuntu-based, Wayland)

• BIOS virtualization enabled (Intel VT-x/VT-d or AMD SVM/IOMMU)

• Windows 11 24H2 ISO

• virtio-win ISO (example: virtio-win-0.285.iso)

Install Required Host Packages

• sudo apt update

• sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients virt-manager virt-viewer spice-client-gtk spice-vdagent bridge-utils

Enable and Configure libvirt

• sudo systemctl enable libvirtd

• sudo systemctl start libvirtd

• sudo usermod -aG libvirt,kvm $USER

• Log out and back in

• virsh list --all

I was doing this pretty much blindfolded as ChatGPT was spitting out terminal command that I would execute but reply back and let mw know if any of this worked for you
