Hi everybody,

 

I installed Deb 12 Cinnamon Armbian flavor on an Orange PI 5 and Orange PI 5 Plus.

This: dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa

 

I want to test 'virt-manager' but qemu is not available for installation.

 

Error on console:

packages are updated
me@orangepi5-plus:~$ sudo apt install qemu
[sudo] senha me:
Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto

package qemu is not available, mas é referenciado por outro pacote.
Isto pode significar que o pacote está faltando, ficou obsoleto ou
está disponível somente a partir de outra fonte

E: O pacote 'qemu' não tem candidato para instalação

 

Is there a chance to have qemu available.

There is no package simply called qemu: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=qemu&searchon=names&suite=bookworm&section=all

you need to do:

sudo apt install virt-manager

 

Then it should also have installed qemu-system-arm package which contains the core virtualization program for 32-bit and 64-bit Virtual machines that you can create and run with/via virt-manager GUI.

 

Note tha you run vendor 6.1.x kernel on big-LITTLE rk3588 SoC, it will fail/crash any VM if more than 1 core allocated or not fixed the CPU types in the VM (xml code). So best to just use 1 core. Otherwhise switch to mainline/current 6.12+ kernel, there the bug/problem is fixed.
