June 12, 2024 - On Fedora Kinoite I want to use virt-manager, to run x86_64 VMs, nothing more. Previously I used rpm-ostree install virt-manager qemu qemu-kvm Which installed a ton of packages to my system. I could narrow them a lot by using rpm-ostree install virt-manager qemu-system-x86 But still I have the qemu-user-static variants for tons of architectures regular users dont need: qemu-user-static-aarch64-8.2.2-1.fc40.x86_64 qemu-user-static-arm-8.2.2-1.fc40.x86_64 qemu-user-static-x86-8.2.2-1.fc40.x8...

December 25, 2023 - Hey everyone, Whats currently the best way to install virt-manager. Tried to use the container method as described here: Overlaying libvirt on Silverblue / Kinoite / Sericea / Onyx and CoreOS But when launching virt-manager I get errors about missing socket: ... Failed to connect socket to '/var/…

June 11, 2021 - rpm-ostree install virt-manager libvirt As @sampsonf mentioned you can use dnf inside a toolbox to query the repos for what you can install. For dnf, and Fedora Linux in particular, they use groups for software packages that are related.

August 3, 2021 - I’m looking at the Quick Docs ... a toolbox)? Do I need to expand the package group manually and run rpm-ostree install virt-install libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-kvm qemu-kvm virt-manager virt-viewer ?...

July 24, 2023 - I use libvirt to manage my virtual machines on my systems and until recently I was overlaying it on my rpm-ostree systems by installing the virt-install and virt-manager packages which pull-in the libvirt daemon via dependencies. Approximately a month ago, the zfs-fuse package got “fixed” to depend…

August 12, 2024 - I installed the non-optional packages from the virtualization group in dnf: rpm-ostree install virt-install qemu-kvm virt-manager virt-viewer libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-kvm Then I followed relevant Fedora documentation by also ...

August 12, 2024 - Hello, I’m new to Silverblue and wanted to prevent the system from asking for authentication every time I launch virt-manager. I installed the non-optional packages from the virtualization group in dnf: rpm-ostree install virt-install qemu-kvm virt-manager virt-viewer libvirt-daemon-config-netwo…

March 28, 2023 - I am in the process of building my own image with some preinstalled rpms to avoid client side layering. But in the meanwhile I would do that. So I have this weird bug, encountered it already 1 month or so earlier. I try rpm-ostree update install fish qemu qemu-kvm virt-manager for example...

Virtual Machine Manager provides a graphical tool for administering virtual machines for KVM, Xen, and LXC. Start, stop, add or remove virtual devices, connect to a graphical or serial console, and see resource usage statistics for existing VMs on local or remote machines.

September 8, 2025 - Hi, I have recently started using Silverblue, and I am excited for it. I am having some teething troubles. I just tried installing xfce4-terminal using rpm-ostree. The reason for doing so is another long story* but for now sticking to installing xfce4-terminal. rpm-ostree install xfce4-terminal --apply-live In a fresh Fedora silverblue 42 install after only a few package installations, lists 578 packages as dependencies !

May 4, 2022 - I am currently running Kinoite 36. I decided to remove the virt-viewer package overlay, in favor of using a flatpak replacement. So I ran rpm-ostree uninstall virt-viewer. ▶ Output of rpm-ostree status - showing pending deployment (after fix - so showing "Diff: 8 removed") What I expect to happen: removal of virt-viewer and some dependencies.

October 14, 2021 - The latest minikube (v1.23.2 at the time of this writing) works great with the kvm2 driver on Silverblue if you install virt-manager libvirt-client packages in an rpm-ostree overlay. Then from there you need to add your user to be able to run virtual machines in polkit: Create the file ...

January 8, 2015 - The rpm-ostree tool provides a new way to deploy and manage RPM-based operating systems. Instead of performing a package-by-package install and upgrade on each client machine, the tooling supports "composing" sets of packages on a server side, and then clients can perform atomic upgrades as a tree.

August 21, 2024 - I am new to Fedora. I recently tried out a couple of atomic Fedora versions, as well as other companies versions. However I can not seem to be able to locate/install additional software, such as usbguard, fail2ban, etc, that are not readily in the Appimage/Flatpak/Snap gui PM’s in these atomic versions.

October 14, 2022 - Hi there, i am very new to fedora silverblue and doing the first steps, but up to now i really like it and want to stick with. I am heavily using 2 virtual windows machines thought, which i would need to move to the new setup. The fist on is nothing special, just a Windows 10 installation with some important programs available as *.qcow2. it is stored on another ssd mounted via fstab on but with gid and uid my personal user 1000. virt-manger has been layerd with rpm-ostree install.

April 19, 2020 - Hello!!! when trying to update or install packages, I wait a few hours. Can you tell me what the problem might be?

rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It supports "composing" packages on a build server into an OSTree repository, which can then be replicated by client systems with atomic upgrades.
