Unable to start any VMs : Domain requires KVM, but it is not available.

[Sreyan Chakravarty <sreyan32@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have just upgraded to the latest version of Fedora 32, and switched to KDE.

Now the problem is that I Virt-Manager doesn't work anymore.

Whenever I try to start a VM I get:

Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 111, in tmpcb
    callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 66, in newfn
    ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)

    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1234, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules.

I have tried doing :

        sudo modprobde kvm

While it worked it did not change anything. I am still unable to start any VMs.

I also tried

        sudo modprobe kvm_intel

This failed since there is no such module.

What went wrong ?

I don't think switching to KDE will have any impact on the VM services.
