I've been following this guide to set up a virtual machines on my xeon (banana) to be run from my laptop (cherry);
here's my complete install process with the few errors I've been getting;
CPU can handle virtualisation;
the guide says;
You must see hvm flags in the output.
Alternatively, you may execute:
kvm-ok
so I assume that missing sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities does not matter.
everything for KVM is installed;
according to this everything has been installed correctly.
sock appears to have the correct permissions;
/dev/kvm is now in the correct group.
I had to run this with sudo;
I then switch to the client and install virt-manager;
I open the Virtual Machine Manager and add connection;
Hypervisor: QEMU/KVM
Connect to remote host
Method: SSH
Username: rhys
Hostname banana
Everything seems to connect, I then have; banana (QEMU) in the queue, which I right click and select New;
Name: plum
Connection: banana(QEMU/KVM)
Choose how you would like to install the operating system
If I choose Local install media or Network Install and manually type in the location of 13.10 iso, I get;
Error setting install media location.
I've tried putting the iso on the client and the server and referenced them as if it's local. ie /home/rhys/13.10.iso.
Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?
Cheers
