Configuration of KVM

> How to configure KVM on ubuntu 10.04.

 

I no longer use 10.04, but maybe I can help. To install, I use ' sudo
apt-get install qemu-kvm ' but I do not install the recommended options that
are listed. Then 'sudo apt-get install virt-manager ' if you want the gnome
gui. 

 

You may need to add your username to the group:  sudo adduser jitendra
libvirtd    (use your real username) Then log out and log back in for the
group to take effect. 

 

I would recommend you use a separate hard drive from your boot drive to
store the VM image files, or performance will suffer. 

 

Use raw or qcow2 image files. Raw makes a larger file, but is faster and
fewer compatibility problems. Use qcow2 to keep the image files small.
