I just switched to Ubuntu and I'm following the instructions on Configuring VM acceleration on Linux

I typed this command

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils ia32-libs-multiarch

and got the following error:

E: Package 'libvirt-bin' has no installation candidate  
E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-vm-builder  
E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch

I looked for the package here on packages.ubuntu.com, but it looks like it's not there for Cosmic distribution.

Is there is a way that I configure VM acceleration equivalent to that explained in the tutorial?

Edit: KVM\qemu installation issue (18.10) has an answer explaining that the package libvirt-bin was split intolibvirt-daemon-system and libvirt-clients, but I need a solution for the other packages ubuntu-vm-builder and ia32-libs-multiarch too.

  • @user535733 what about **ubuntu-vm-builder** ? – H DA Nov 06 '18 at 20:37
  • No that's not what @user535733 meant with the duplicate. Please read the duplicate again: `libvirt-bin` = `libvirt-daemon-system` + `libvirt-clients` – Fabby Nov 08 '18 at 10:50
  • @Fabby then the duplicate does not fully answer my question, I still can't configure VM acceleration for android. – H DA Nov 08 '18 at 19:43

    Are you sure you still need the 32 bit libraries `ia32-libs-multiarch`? These were for compatibility with 32 bit apps etc. so that they could run in a 64 bit system. If everything is now converted to 64 bit system you won't need them. – user68186 Nov 08 '18 at 19:55
  • @user68186 can't find vmbuilder for Cosmic though https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=vm – H DA Nov 08 '18 at 20:09
