Attempt to test another Linux distro Manjaro KDE 20.1.1 as Virthost managed via Cockpit Web Console, i.e. deployment and management KVM guests on the recent Manjaro KDE utilizing Web Console . Bare metal platform is Ryzen 7 3700X based with 16 GB RAM and mother board MSI X570 A-PRO ( SVM status enabled )
First thing to do is manual fix grub.cfg to avoid using only "fallback initramfs" grub entry as follows bellow
Then manually update grub.cfg :-
Another command is to install package supporting KVM guests UEFI deployment $ sudo pacman -S edk2-ovmf . In particular case bare metal installation on gparted segment of drive /dev/sdb had been performed with no issues both /boot/efi and /boot had been marked by flag "boot" and nothing else , obviously followed by
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
on Fedora Server 32 SSD drive , updating major grub.cfg on multiple systems booting up host . Updates mentioned above should be done manually to major grub.cfg on Fedora's SSD drive .
Now proceed the same way as for version 20.0.3
Setup KVM on Manjaro
$ sudo pacman -S virt-manager virt-viewer \
qemu vde2 ebtables dnsmasq \

$ sudo reboot
Setup Web Cockpit Console on Manjaro KDE 20.1.1
$ sudo pacman -S cockpit cockpit-machines
$ sudo systemctl start cockpit.socket
$ sudo systemctl status cockpit.socket
$ sudo systemctl enable cockpit.socket
Setup Firewalld On Manjaro
$ sudo pacman -S firewalld
$ sudo systemctl start firewalld
$ sudo systemctl status firewalld
$ sudo systemctl enable firewalld
Open port 9090
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
