I am trying to install KVM in ubuntu 16.04 using following command:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils

and getting following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package bridge-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'bridge-utils' has no installation candidate

Can anyone help me to install KVM in ubuntu OS?

  • Did you forget to run `sudo apt-get update`? The package `bridge-utils` is available for [all current releases](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=bridge-utils). – N0rbert Sep 05 '18 at 16:56
  • @DevHugo I have referred the link that you have shared. It was really helpful. I have installed KVM in Ubuntu. But got new problem now when I am executing the command: `sudo kvm-ok` I am getting following error: `INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist` `HINT: sudo modprobe kvm_intel` `INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions` `INFO: KVM (vmx) is disabled by your BIOS` `HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT), and then hard poweroff/poweron your system` `KVM acceleration can NOT be used` Help me to fix the problem. – Shankar Muthu samy Sep 06 '18 at 03:52

    @ShankarMuthusamy You need to go in your PC BIOS and "Security" section (If my memory is good) and enable the VT-X. – DevHugo Sep 06 '18 at 06:05
