This creates a two gigabyte virtual drive, stored as a single file called windows.img in the location where you ran the command.

If you want to load the kqemu module upon system start in the future, add 'kqemu' to your /etc/modules file.

If not, add OWNER='youruser' to the end of the udev rule and try again Try re-loading the moduleĪnd see if that clears the problem.

If the permissions are wrong, it is probably because your udev rule wasn't read properly.

sudo update-modules # this is deprecated under Hardy, instead use 'sudo depmod -a'Ĭrw-rw- 1 root kqemu 10, 62 15:36 /dev/kqemu.

kqemu group (for example by logging out and in).

#Add files to qemu system update

Make sure to update your environment before proceeding to reflect that your user is now part of the.

Create a group 'kqemu' and add all users who should be allowed to use QEMU with acceleration to this group.

Change the content of /etc/modprobe.d/nf to.

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/les with the following content: (the order of GROUP and MODE seems to matter, so be sure to add a new line at the end of the file) KERNEL='kqemu', NAME='%k', GROUP='kqemu', MODE='0660'.

Next you need to configure udev to create the /dev/kqemu device node upon loading the kqemu module.

If it doesn't work, you can try: cd /usr/src/kqemu*.

Next you need to build the kqemu module from Ubuntu's package.

#Add files to qemu system install

(In Gutsy(7.10),Use the synaptic package manager, search for kqemu and install kqemu-source.

First you need to install qemu kqemu-source and module assistant from the Universe Repository.

As of Intrepid, the only thing that I had to do was to add myself to the kqemu group (step 6).

While the following guide uses Windows XP, older versions of Windows work fine, and may be preferred due to their increased speed. Installing Windows in QEmu with Feisty 7.04 and Gutsy 7.10 To install Ubuntu inside QEmu, please read Installation/QemuEmulator. Other machines require an update to the latest BIOS to enable virtualization.

Some machines are delivered with hardware virtualization disabled in the BIOS. Note: Even if you get no output from the above command, your computer may actually support virtualization in hardware.

For older versions of ubuntu see Kernel Virtualization as another possibility for virtualizing other operating systems. Also for multicore machines enjoy the benefits of using '-smp 2' as an option.

If there are any results and you have Hardy 8.04, install the 'kvm' package, skip to step 10 and replace 'qemu' in the commands with 'kvm'. To see if your system includes these technologies, run the following: grep -E '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo Note: Most computers purchased since 2006 support VT or Pacifica, technologies that provide hardware support for virtualization. This also works in Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn also includes a new version of rdesktop that can be used to start individual desktop apps from the VM on your normal desktop. Note: KQEMU will not work under Ubuntu 10.04.

QEmu uses kqemu, an acceleration driver included in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn to run Windows at usable speed. QEmu can run an OS inside another OS - for example, Windows under Linux. This method also works perfectly under Ubuntu 8.04 If you need USB functionality with QEMU please see the details here: here.

#Add files to qemu system code

NOTE: Changes made to the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron distribution code have broken the USB functionality in QEMU. Most of the stuff in this page is not specific to installing Windows XP under Qemu it can be used to install other operating systems as well. In most cases, its functionality is provided by a free Linux program (see SoftwareEquivalents).Ĭonsider also Wine instead of Qemu, if you only need to run a single Windows program. Saving and Restoring the State of the VMīefore installing this Windows emulator, consider whether or not it's truly necessary for you.

Installing Windows in QEmu with Feisty 7.04 and Gutsy 7.10.

This method also works perfectly under Ubuntu 8.04.
