Host Setting Up

Check CPU Fitness

run either of the two lines:

egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

kvm-ok

sudo apt-get install kvm libvirt-bin
Add user who manages kvm to group libvirtd; simplest way may be just edit /etc/groups, or use usermod
Install "Virtual Machine Manager" from Ubunto software store if wish to manage from desktop with GUI

Public bridge

Public bridge allow guest directly communicate with outside using host's network card.

Below configuration works for me.

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

auto br0

iface br0 inet static
