The BEST Way to Make Virtual Machines - Virt-Manager
Вставка

- Because no one is going to stoop as low to use HyperV, we're going to be using the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) to simulate our operating systems. Now you too can have your own farm of Linux distros and Windows builds you'll never use.

This is the best intro to virt-manager on youtube!
I don't understand how I've missed your channel this long...but I found you and love the tag-team synergy of two minds who share an interest. Really takes the edge off the blue streaks of cursing - reminds me of Ryan Hall and Andy Hill keeping everybody's feet on the ground while everybody's up all night waiting for a tornado they can feel zeroing in on them.
Anyway, like always, I installed virt-manager, jumped in with both feet and veronica's tute under the belt but with zero trouble-shooting resources. So, I got two distros running yesterday but did something today after noticing that a nasty python upgrade opened some doors I thought I'd previously and pretty irreversibly nailed shut. I'm still not sure what happened, exactly, but thought I better dig into it while I still have a roof since it's tornado season and looking to be quite an adventure!
ANYhoo - I'm probably old enough to be your grandmother but it appears we sort of think alike regarding several things so I'm subscribed and may occasionally yammer but feel free to ignore me. You can't hurt my feelings and it is never my intention to hurt anyone else's - well, almost never - so - some assume the insults they aim at me with their ridiculously long 'pausible deniability" tails stuck to their butts have gone over my head because I don't respond as they expect but that doesn't happen. I just don't care what such a person thinks. But I DO enjoy trading barbs with buds so, go figure. Anyway, I'm enjoying what I've seen of your vids so, I'll be back! SaaaaLUTE!! OH! And I REALLY like the anime character!! If I ever do a video with me in it, I'm definitely going to do that! And, of course, I'll be blaming it all on YOU so - sorry in advance - ROFL!!
Fun fact! RHEL deprecated spice and only allows VNC servers now. That's the main reason i stopped using RHEL.
Am trying this now. There is a little issue you should be aware of. Virt Manager allows (like in VBox) you to have a shared folder between host and guest OS. But... if you enable this feature on a virtual machine in Virt Manager, you will not be able to save your VM state or create Snapshots. The error you will receive is: "Error creating snapshot: Requested operation is not valid: migration with virtiofs device is not supported". So if you are dragging and dropping files like in the video and not using virtiofs for shared folders, it should work fine. This is using Virt Manager 4.0.0 from 2020 - which seems a little old. The issue might be fixed on later builds.
I ran into the same issue using virt-manager 4.0.0.
Interesting listen. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. New sub.
Great job. GPU passthrough onto VM Win10Pro for CAD work (win-only CAD packages unfortunately). Thanks for the intro. My base OS is Pop OS.
Awesome video. Would love a video on how to create shared folders between the host and the guest!
me tooooo, that's what Virtualbox makes very easy and I always share files with my VMs. Drag&Drop I still have in Virtualbox but I need sharing.
@@Flowxp Trying to post instructions on how to do this via pastebin but YT is not cooperating....
@@Flowxp add "3CmabDvg" without the quotes after the slash at the end of pastebin....
@@Chonny_Boy I tried and get this : This video isn't available any more
@@Flowxp I'm struggling to figure out a way to share the instructions with you...let's see if this works...it's the pastebin code (F8u6bcSv)
Great video.
great video
linux noob here just wanted to say tnx your vid helped me alot
Sweet now make a vid of gpu-passthrough!
What did you use for top right system resource panel?
I guess virtual-manager too will be replaced by cockpit. Or no more work will be done on virt-manager. I doubt it will leave the package manager though. But learning how to use the command line tools seems easier for me.cause both tools will find your machine.
Maybe try open virtual machine inside virtual machine, and test how much your PC can handle?
How about no?
Having created a virtual machine running whatever OS, in my case Windows 10, and I want to get rid of it, I'll have to delete it via the right-click menu on the machine in the virt-manager window. My question is, will this also free up the space, say 40 GB, that was assigned to the OS during installation or will I have to recover the space through another means?
The memory is dynamically allocated. Even though it says 40 GB, it's only 27 or however much your VM is.
@@Trafotin I found that it restored the space taken for the VM.
Credit where due, very good video, found an old one on how to setup all for newbs. Switched from Proxmox to this solution, easier, however I can't find an easy way to bridge my network. There are writeups about destroying the NAT or whatever created by Virt, rather lengthy, for example, for home assistant VM which I do want external access to, for app & tablet remote access etc. Most other VMs wouldn't need special bridging. Also uncertain home assistant actually works properly in this without network bridge. Any tips?
I'm just a desktop user. I don't do most server stuff like Proxmox. I understand the pain though because I feel like Cockpit is the direction we are moving in, but the CLI and virt-manager are just better desktop tools right now. On smart assistants, I cannot help you because I hate IoT devices.

honestly I prefer "Boxes", it's just easier for me, perhaps not as flexible (only ever use the VMs for software that is not on the AUR at least, such as ubuntu only software)
I realised that it is more straightforward for installing not only Linux but also Windows. However, it seems to hog resources. I will advise anyone with RAM of at least 16GB to use that, but maybe for not more than one OS, unless they are all Linux OS.
why nobody shows HOW to share a folder from host to VM ?!?!?
use 9p
14:13, nice, a fellow geany user :D
I don't understand what happened. I did what you said and got the message "Error connecting to console: Error opening Spice console: Namespace SpiceClientGtk not available" I am using MX Linux 23.1
Okay - I've watched most of this vid twice, at least, so I'm gonna go make a Devuan machine - or die trying! So I can get back on track looking t what all the fuss is about systemd. Aside from it being a BSD baby which is an NSA baby and so on and so forth. Don't want to throw any babies out with the bathwater! Thank you SOOO much for your vid. I'm just going to cleanup whatever I can remember doing after python's little hissy fit - which is beginning to get on my nerves - from my naturally internet-suspicious perspective, at this point - and then reinstall and start over. TTFN
Hmmmmmm......
