Download the SPICE guest tools for Display and other VirtIO drivers, etc. You can then map the folder in Windows guest with \\\Public:Ħ. Restart Samba service (or perform a full reboot): $ testparm Install Samba on host OS: $ sudo apt install sambaĪdd a basic public folder config: $ sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf Install and configure Samba for basic public folder sharing over network: If that's the case, then you can manually update the driver later on.ĥ. This occurred to me when I use NAT in network interface, but not in Bridge mode. Load VirtIO Storage and Network drivers (and proceed to standard installation):įor the Network driver, you'll probably don't see any listed drivers while loading it during installation. With VirtIO-type Storage and Network (requires VirtIO drivers): I use dynamically allocated QCOW2 storage format: $ sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-vm.qcow2 30G Install Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager: $ sudo apt install virt-manager Install and verify KVM: $ sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utilsĢ. So, then I decided to switch from VBox and VMware to Virt-Manager for OS testing, and primarily, for softwares I used in Windows, since it also target Kernel-based VMs and is faster. Initially, I'm using the Android Emulator for development with KVM installed. Guess I'll just stick to VirtualBox/VMware for now.įor future reference, here's my fully working Network, Display, and Folder Sharing QEMU/KVM setup on Ubuntu-based 18.04 LTS (specifically, Pop! OS 18.04). Sadly, no 3D acceleration support for Windows guest. I tried the nautilus-share, and the manual /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration, and try to mount the folder in guest OS with \\IP.ADDRESS\SHARED_FOLDER, but nothing worked. How to share files with Samba (SMB) from Ubuntu and mount on Windows.How to setup Samba for File Sharing in Linux.What's the proper way to create a Windows guest with working display and sharing? Maybe I missed some dependencies or Virt-Manager specific settings? Setting a Filesystem passthrough does not seem to work in Windows guests (and I also got sick and tired of trying Samba to work).
I would like to have a Windows guest (either 7 or 10) with at least a working network, display drivers, and folder sharing. In VBox and VMware, all you have to do is install the guest additions, then everything will work including the display, folder sharing, etc. I'm currently switching to Virt-Manager (QEMU/KVM) and leave VirtualBox behind (as it is slow), but I find Virt-Manager hard to configure.
