I am on KUbuntu 24.04. I followed the instructions as outlined at https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-and-building-the-source. I didn't get any errors.

I rebooted and still don't see Virtual Machines on the dashboad/UI.

Am I missing something?

If you install from upstream, you also need to make sure that all the package dependencies are installed, in particular libvirt-dbus. Easiest is probably to run sudo apt install -t noble-backports cockpit-machines (see https://cockpit-project.org/running.html#ubuntu) -- either actually install it, or at least check which dependencies it would install, and then install these manually.

Ah. Got it. Thank you!
