How to enable KVM virsh console access for Ubuntu Linux VM

To enable KVM virsh console access for an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine (VM), you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Install the openssh-server package on the Ubuntu VM:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

This will install the openssh-server package, which provides secure shell (SSH) access to the VM.

2. Enable the libvirt-bin service on the Ubuntu VM:

sudo systemctl enable libvirt-bin

This will enable the libvirt-bin service, which is responsible for managing virtual machines on the system.

3. Start the libvirt-bin service on the Ubuntu VM:

sudo systemctl start libvirt-bin

This will start the libvirt-bin service.

4. Connect to the Ubuntu VM using virsh:

virsh -c qemu:///system

This will connect to the Ubuntu VM using virsh and the qemu driver.

5. Use the console command to access the console of the Ubuntu VM:

virsh console ubuntu

Replace ubuntu with the name of your Ubuntu VM. This will open the console of the Ubuntu VM, allowing you to interact with it using the command line.
