I've never used virtual machines before but I want to bring up an instance of Raspbian. So I installed KVM with YaST and I downloaded https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/rpd_x86_latest and ran its checksum, so I know I got a good copy. I started virt-manager and selected File/New VM and got a dialog box/wizard which I clicked through. When I got to the end and clicked Finish it says: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 12 Cannot allocate memory 2019-05-16T21:41:00.397990Z qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Cannot allocate memory' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 2633, in _do_async_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 527, in start_install doboot, transient) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 463, in _create_guest domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3659, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 12 Cannot allocate memory 2019-05-16T21:41:00.397990Z qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Cannot allocate memory I have no idea what that means. Is there a set of instructions somewhere that's suitable for a noob to do what I want? Alternatively, can somebody tell me what the error means and what I need to do to fix it?
