Did you load the KVM module, or reboot?

In case if someone need to install KVM on Artix Linux.

I just successfully installed KVM on my Artix Linux by installing packages below.

Code: [Select]
 sudo pacman -S qemu virt-manager libvirt libvirt-openrc dnsmasq virt-viewer vde2 bridge-utils ebtables libguestfs openbsd-netcat

Note:

* Some packages are available on the Arch repository, so you can enable the Arch repository.
* The ebtables is part of the "iptables-nft", which will replace your iptables package.

After you installed all packages, you can start the "libvirtd" and "dnsmasq" service.

Code: [Select]
rc-service dnsmasq start
rc-service libvirtd start

The "dnsmasq" service by default will be running on port "53". So if you have other application running on that port, you can change the port like "5353" on the dnsmasq configuration "/etc/dnsmasq.conf".

Good luck  :D
