Hello, can someone help me installing KVM and virt-manager on Artix? I'm new to this distro and couldn't install it by myself. Thanks!
At which point are you stuck?
The guide in the arch wiki should be applicable: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Installation
I don't know how to enable/start/restart services with runit. I'm familiar with systemd's systemctl and yet don't know the alternative to this
The packages are already installed?
For runit usage, you may have a look at the Artix Wiki (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Runit) or this comprehensive faq (http://smarden.org/runit/faq.html).
I was following this tutorial https://computingforgeeks.com/complete-installation-of-kvmqemu-and-virt-manager-on-arch-linux-and-manjaro/ (https://computingforgeeks.com/complete-installation-of-kvmqemu-and-virt-manager-on-arch-linux-and-manjaro/) . Following the steps, and using the commands for runit instead of systemctl should work, right?
I think so, but I don't use kvm / virt-manager or runit.
In any case, it will not work if the services are not activated and running. ;)
I couldn't get it working. Do you have any alternatives for virtualization on Artix?
I've got KVM running on Artix with runit, and can confirm it works flawlessly.
For KVM on runit install package libvirt-runit
To start the services run:
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/libvirtd /run/runit/service
sv up libvirtd
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/virtlogd /run/runit/service
sv up virtlogd
In case you have issues/questions just update this thread.
Hello, i have tried "sv up virtlogd" but i get the following:
"warning: libvirtd: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist"
Is there any complete tutorial for Artix i can search to instal KVM? or how do i solve that?
