I know you opened this a month ago; but you likely don't have virtualization enabled in your bios.

Installing extra/libvirt from Arch will give you this feature.

were you able to figure it out, i seem to be having the same problem. I have Kvm installed, i have virtualization enabled in bios. I've ran a Mac OS virtual machine normally but I'm now trying to do it through docker as the USB connection seems simpler.

Am afraid I wasn't able to, I had to deliver work so I just hopped back to Arch.

Same problem here.

What happen with Debian 12 bookworms and Ubuntu 24.04?

I create VM in GCP and there some issues:

  1. Install necessary packages
sudo apt install **qemu** qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virt-manager libguestfs-tools

then get the output

Note, selecting 'qemu-system-x86' instead of 'qemu-kvm'
Package qemu is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'qemu' has no installation candidate
  1. Find qemu repo and change it via https://www.qemu.org/download/#linux
sudo apt install **qemu-system** qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virt-manager libguestfs-tools

then nothing happen and there is no folder '/dev/kvm' were created.

  1. Then, enable libvirt and load the KVM kernel module:
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
sudo systemctl enable --now virtlogd

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs

sudo modprobe kvm

the output is

tee: /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs: No such file or directory

  1. Reboot machine and there still no folder '/dev/kvm' so that when run docker there was error
