Bring CachyOS KVM Hypervisor along with KDE Plasma 6.5.2 and Kernel 6.17.7 to Arch Linux VM

 This post is an immediate follow up for Fedora 43 KVM Hypervisor && bring CachyOS KDE Plasma 6.5.1 along with kernel to Arch Linux VM  It is quite clear that there is a way to automatically start services virtstoraged, virtnetworkd, virtqemud, virtnodedevd on Arch Linux VM , however I was not lucky enough to automate this procedure.

$ sudo pacman -S qemu-desktop libvirt virt-manager bridge-utils dnsmasq edk2-ovmf

$ sudo systemctl enable libvirtd.service

$ sudo systemctl start libvirtd.service

$ sudo usermod -aG libvirt $(whoami)

$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd.service

 

RELOGIN to SESSION

 

The following commands run automatically on Fedora 43 and no manual intervention is required.

$ sudo systemctl enable virtstoraged

$ sudo systemctl start virtstoraged

$ sudo systemctl enable virtnetworkd

$ sudo systemctl start virtnetworkd

$ sudo systemctl enable virtqemud

$ sudo systemctl start virtqemud

=================================

$ sudo systemctl start virtnodedevd.socket

$ sudo systemctl enable virtnodedevd.socket

$ sudo systemctl start virtnodedevd

$ sudo systemctl enable virtnodedevd

=================================

Start default network

$ sudo virsh net-start default

$ sudo virsh net-autostart default

Setup Web Cocpit Console and bridge0

Open port 9090/tcp say via ufw 

$ sudo pacman -S cockpit cockpit-machines

$ sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

 

Log into Web Cockpit Console

and activate bridge — bridge0 (for instance)

Cockpit embedded VNC Console
