When I run virt-manager, and click on the icon to create a new virtual machine, I get an error that KVM is not installed or is not loaded.
I use Ubuntu GNOME 14.04
All qemu packages are version 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1
qemu-kvm
and
many other qemu packages installed...
libvirt packages: 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1
libvirt0
libvirt-bin
libvirt-doc
python-libvirt
virt-manager 0.9.5-1ubuntu3
When I open terminal and enter lsmod | grep kvm, I get nothing returned. No lines showing kvm or kvm_amd and no error of any kind.
Hardware:
Tyan S2877 with dual Opteron 285s
I have the latest bios and don't see any setting in there to turn virtualization on or off.
when i do
sudo apt-get -s install qemu-kvm
Here are the results:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done qemu-kvm is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: kde-l10n-engb libgtk2-gladexml-perl libqt4-test libvncserver0 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
The problem seems to be my hardware. Evidently the Opeteron 285 does not support the kvm extensions:
