After installing qemu-kvm I noticed that there is no Virtual Machine manager on the menu anywhere. Having a look at boot message (ctrl-alt-F1) reveals the following error:

Code: Select all

udevd[1453] specified group 'kvm' unknown

Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add
udevd[1453] specified group 'kvm' unknown

Any am hoping that the nouveau message is unrelated. Any suggestions.

Unrelated and unproblematic.

Also I don't think any graphical vm manager is installed by default alongside the virtualization framework qemu(-kvm). You would have to pick and install one yourself. Sorry, can't suggest any graphical tool to you. You might also be interested in VirtualBox.
