Do you have the KVM kernel module enabled in your kernel? What distro?

pedrety commented 5 years ago

I have the same problem. I'm running Pop!_OS 18.04 (basically Ubuntu 18.04).

Also I don't know how to enable the KVM kernel module. I made a little research but came up with nothing

I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 with the 5.3.8-050308-generic kernel from the mainline PPA.

KVM will auto load if virtualization is enabled in BIOS. Check your motherboard's settings to enable virtualization.

Make sure you enable virtualization in BIOS
