dual boot is trash and breaks easily

also restarting every forgetin time i have to forget around is really annoying

tried this one too, again, doesnt work

Only the root user and users in the libvirtd group have permission to use KVM virtual machines. Run the following command to add your user account to the libvirtd group:

    

Code: [Select]

sudo adduser name libvirtd

when i run this it says im already part of that group

then later on when it asks me to open the program, it says it failed to connect libvirtd because im not a root user.

use virtualbox, kvm is over the top for what you want to do.

just tell me like, where you get stuck on setting up virtualbox

Unable to connect to libvirt.

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
 - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Permission denied
but when i go to the terminal

Code: [Select]

user@user-X551MA:~$ sudo adduser user libvirtd
[sudo] password for user:
The user `user' is already a member of `libvirtd'.
user@user-X551MA:~$

i will try virtual box again

How about install Windows, then emulate linux, would be much faster and simpler than any other solutions listed.

[shitlord]

yeah installing loving windows sure is easier than installing software on linux

VMware Player is best

You make it sound like it burdens you to follow an on screen setup window
