In the above command, we used the ISO image that is on our desktop folder. qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom Desktop/puppy.iso -m 512 We are using OS typeР вЂ™Р’В Linux i.e the Puppy Linux ISO image resided on the desktop of our Ubuntu. However, in this tutorial, we are using the VDI disk format.Р вЂќР вЂћfter creating the Virtual hard disk, letР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs boot the ISO in Live environement. Here we are installing Puppy Linux which doesnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћtР вЂ™Р’В require a high amount of space at all, so we used 10 G (G stands for Giga Byte GB). So, if the same hard drive which we created above need to be created in Qemu disk format then the command will be qemu-img create -f qcow2 Puppy.qcow 10GР вЂќР Р‹0 G is the amount of space we want to allocate to the Virtual hard drive. We can also use the Qemu default virtual hard disk formats which areР вЂ™Р’В .qcow2. The extension.VDI will create a Virtual DISK image format if you want you can replace it with. Note: In the above command the Puppy.vdi is the name of our virtual hard drive. The command to create virtual hard disk is qemu-img create Puppy.vdi 10G

Virt Manager for Qemu Qemu Ubuntu Tutorial: How to install via the command terminal When using KVM, one can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, 64-bit POWER, S390, 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, and MIPS guests. It supports virtualization using the KVM kernel module in Linux.

We can run OSes and programs by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU using this software. Here in this Qemu Ubuntu tutorial article, we will see how to install and setup this open source machine emulator and virtualizer tool on Ubuntu. We talk about such platforms in some other article.

In such circumstances, there are a couple of well known opensource hardware virtualization software available with their own Linux operating system environment those can convert any bare metal machine into a full virtualization platform. Although the VMware Workstation Player is available too for Linux, limited in terms of features as compared to VirtualBox. However, most of the Linux users prefer to use the VirtualBox because of its easy-to-use interface and a wide range of hardware compatibility. Not only, the Linux but one can also install this software on Windows and MacOS to test different Linux distros. In simple words, the Qemu is a software program which is free and open source used to create virtual machines over the top of other Linux operating systems just like VirtualBox and VMware workstation player.
