This year, we're excited to be back in person at the Austin Convention Center in Austin. 📢 Attention IT pros and tech experts!Join us for the 16th year of this amazing event that brings together IT pros and tech vendors for 3 days of tech learning and fun.

As you can see below I have the Windows server VM ready to go. After you launch Virtual Machine Manager, just click the button at the top left to “create a new virtual machine” and follow the prompts to assign storage, networking, and compute resources. I played around with a Windows 2012 R2 VM as the first VM that I created in the KVM environment. Now you are ready to start playing around with creating some Virtual machines. To install virt-manager, issue this command: sudo apt-get install virt-manager To manage my virtual machines, I used another Ubuntu 15.10 desktop machine to install the virt-manager package on.

To do that, simply issue this command: sudo adduser 'root' libvirtd You need to add your user to the libvirtd group. Installing KVM is easy using this command: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils You should see a message kvm acceleration can be used after issuing the kvm-ok command if you have the support enabled. To do that however, you will need to install the cpu-checker package: sudo apt-get install cpu-checker Alternatively you can also issue the kvm-ok command.
