/dev/kvm does not exist in ubuntu 22.04

  • 772

I have installed kvm using

> sudo apt install qemu-kvm

However, it selects other package instead

Note, selecting 'qemu-system-x86' instead of 'qemu-kvm'

After installing, I check if /dev/kvm exists by

> sudo kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
HINT:   sudo modprobe kvm_intel
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can be used

What could go wrong? The system is ubuntu 22.04.

22.04
