Actually, there is no need to wait for proposed in https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3066 option by "sgallagh" - "To be clear, my suggestion about providing the WebUI as an experimental option was intended for Final". Load from live image Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39-20230922.n.0.iso into KVM Guest and shut down Installer afterwards. Keep staying in Fedora39 Live environment and issue . . .

No signs of Anaconda Installer behavior in the screenshots below might be noticed in the Fedora 39 development branch up until 09/16/23. Actually, I've followed link suggested in final rows of article https://www.debugpoint.com/fedora-39-features/ . In particular , the iso image Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20230916.n.0.iso has been used for virt-manager

Cockpit Client provides a graphical interface to your servers, containers, and virtual machines. Connections are made over SSH, using the SSH configuration of the local user (including aliases, known hosts, key files, hardware tokens, etc).

Sequence of snapshots down here demostrates F39WKS KVM Guest setup via Fedora-39-20230827.n.0 (netinst-everything boot ISO image).

Setup on Ubuntu 22.04.3 is a bit more complicated then on Fedora 38. So I've just put a sequence of all the necessary directives together. I also believe that the same schema would work on Debian BookWorm as well .

Cockpit Client provides a graphical interface to your servers, containers, and virtual machines. Connections are made over SSH, using the SSH configuration of the local user (including aliases, known hosts, key files, hardware tokens, etc). The server needs to have Cockpit installed, but the Cockpit webserver doesn't need to be enabled, and no extra ports need to be opened.

The Python Steering Council has announced its intent to accept PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython), with initial support possibly showing up in the 3.13 release. There are still some details to work out, though.

Upgrade kernel on Manjaro instance up to 6.4.6 via Manjaro Settings Manager and reboot instance. Then issue $ sudo pacman -Syu virtualbox .This command will report you - There are 12 providers available for VIRTUALBOX-HOST-MODULES: Repository extra . If you select option 10 then linux64-virtualbox-host-modules would be installed on your Manjaro 22.1 instance .

On Manjaro Linux we intend to convert virtio-win-0_1_229-1_noarch.rpm to Arch format and install corresponding Arch package as pre-installation step on KVM Hypervisor's Manajaro Linux Host.

Upgrade kernel on Sparky Linux 2023.07 up to 6.4.4-sparky8 via Synaptic Manager . Then atcivate Debian 12 repo per https://linuxiac.com/virtualbox-7-0-10-released/ and proceed as follows . . .

Coming three months after VirtualBox 7.0.8, the new release adds initial support for the Linux 6.4 kernel series for both guests and hosts, initial support for the upcoming Linux 6.5 kernel series only for hosts. Proceed as follows per official Oracle's instructions

Acivate on system following repo $ sudo dnf copr enable jforbes/kernel-stabilization and upgrade system via $ sudo dnf update -y . Make sure that kernel 6.4.2-201 has been installed:

[boris@ServerFedora38 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep "6.4.2" => kernel-devel-6.4.2-201.fc38.x86_64 kernel-devel-matched-6.4.2-201.fc38.x86_64 kernel-6.4.2-201.fc38.x86_64 . . . Now setup rpmfusion . . . .

Just one notice regarding current review. Quoting mentioned "Howto" : Officially, Windows 11 requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. These features are not (yet) available in VirtualBox. The result is that you will get the error as you can see on the right image. Important note for Windows 11:

To bypass these settings, click on the X icon at the right upper corner and quit the setup. Hold the SHIFT key and press F10. Then give the command ‘regedit’. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetup and create a new key (folder) here named ‘LabConfig’. Within this key, create a new DWORD (32 bits) value named ‘BypassSecureBootCheck’. Create another DWORD (32 bits) value named ‘BypassTPMCheck’. Don’t forget to set both values to 1.

Post below was inspired by article "How to install Windows 11 in a VirtualBox with Ubuntu Linux as host" . In particular, mentioned "Howto" suggests a known registry hack descscribed in section "Important note for Windows 11" . Down here follows another aproach, proposed in http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/331458/index.html for KVM Hypervisor, it is supposed to be applied to Virtualbox 7.0. Once again we intend to work via "alien" conversion on Ubuntu 22.04 and SparkyLinux 7 .

Conversion via "alien" utility virtio-win-0.1.229-1.noarch.rpm to debian format (*.deb) and deploying virtio-win_0.1.229-1_all.deb on SparkyLinux 7 allows straightforward install Windows 11 KVM Guest in UEFI mode on SparkyLinux 7 and Debian BookWorm as well .

First of all make sure that packages : $ sudo apt install ovmf swtpm swtpm-tools are already installed on your system, then the configuration of TPM is no longer your concern. Howevere, original setup would still look like . . . . . .

Virt-manager still appears to be the most powerful tool in regards of deployment and managment of KVM guests. Also sometimes it seems to be more functional rather then Cockpit Web console, in my very personal opinion. In particular, it allows to configure some features required by Windows 11 KVM Guest in the most recent builds of Fedora Linux 38,37.

Brief instruction for setting up Virt-manager to perform straightforward installation of Windows 11 KVM Guest on Fedora 38 Workstation under 6.3.4 kernel.

To make system ready for VitualBox 7 setup via rpmfusion repos,install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel for adding new hardware support to the system. The distribution packages containing the headers is probably: kernel-devel-6.0.9-300.fc37. Kernel packages installation has been done as follows.

Central limit theorems (CLT) are a class of theorems in probability theory stating that the sum of a sufficiently large number of weakly dependent random variables that have approximately the same scale (none of the terms dominates, does not make a decisive contribution to the sum), has a distribution close to normal.
