When I launch sosumi I have a problem with kvm module, what can I do ?

sosumi
realpath: '': No such file or directory
*** Checking for kvm interface connection
INFO: kvm interface is connected
*** Checking for firmware files
*** Checking for Base System files
*** Checking for disk image
*** Checking for launch script
*** Launch!

Hi @Leo-Qwant,

Firstly, I'd double-check if Virtualization is enabled on your machine and the relevant libvirt qemu and virt-manager (optional) packages are installed and your user is correctly assigned to the kvm and libvirt groups. Log out/Log back in to apply the group changes. Then, try invoking the command virsh --list all to double-check the permissions are correctly set.

For further information for Ubuntu look here, the Wiki also has detailed commands for modifying your group permissions: KVM_Ubuntu_Docs

I'd secondly double-check if the snap-package can access the kvm interface by running snap connections sosumi and then snap interface sosumi, this lists whether sosumi has access to kvm.

Now try running sosumi again!

Hope this helps :)

I had this same problem. When I ran virsh --list all, it said that virsh was not found so I did ```sudo apt install libvirt-clients

.

This is what happened when I tried to run sosumi again:

vincent@device:~$ sosumi

Thank you in advance to whoever knows whats going wrong.
