Multipass uses Hyper-V on Windows, QEMU and HyperKit on macOS and LXD on Linux for. Now you can create a new virtual machine and starting it using virt-manager. It is possible to install only QEMU and KVM for a very minimal setup, but most users will also want libvirt for convenient configuration and management of the virtual machines ( libvirt-daemon-system - libvirt, virt-manager - a GUI for libvirt). Multipass can launch and run virtual machines and configure them with. When you now try to start the VM, you maybe will get following message: failed to initialize: permission deniedĪs stated out on issue #1095, You solve this by restarting the KVM kernel modules: # sudo rmmod kvm_intel You also should add a GUI for more comfortable configuration: # sudo apt-get install virt-manager Now install the client software: # sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm If the result of this call is 3 or 5, the instruction set is supported. According to, this can be done the following way: # sudo apt-get install msr-tools This is a virtualisation software being contained in the linux kernel and some forum entries on google claim it is as fast as VirtualBox, but on my system it took some configuration before I was able to successfully start a VM on with it.įirst of all, you need to check if your System has the Intel-VT or AMD-V instruction set, because KVM will not be able to run without it. Because of this I decided to check out KVM. deb package provided on oracles website, but I did not make it. So I tried to make it run by installing the.

So I tried to install VirtualBox through the Debian repository but I had to find out, that VirtualBox no longer is contained in the repository. Yesterday I wanted to install a virtual machine with Windows 7 running on it for testing some applications.

Since a few months I have Debian 9 (“Stretch”) running on my notebook.
