Then, your Virtual Machines’ firewall may be refusing to connect. If you get the following error – Unable to find suitable address. ![]() You will be asked to authenticate yourself. We will have to mount shared_folder directory – mount -t cifs //10.0.2.4/qemu/ mount_pointįor instance, mount -t cifs //10.0.2.4/qemu/ /mnt/ Then, update the Debian repository and install the package cifs-utils – apt update Open a terminal and login as superuser – su -l Next, we will have to install the package cifs-utils inside our guest Virtual Machine (Debian). Read our article, Setup Virtual Machine using QEMU in Ubuntuto know more about the command-line options used. ![]() So, issue – qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,smb= -smp -cpu host -enable-kvm -m -drive format=qcow2,file=/path/to/disk_image.qcow2įor instance, qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,smb=/dev/shm/ -smp 2 -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 2048 -drive format=qcow2,file=/path/to/disk_image.qcow2 We need to use following options with qemu-system-x86_64/qemu-system-i386 command-line utility before running our guest Virtual machine – -net nic -net user,smb=shared_folder_path Shared folder between Ubuntu host and Debian guest VM Therefore, open a terminal and issue the following – sudo apt update Install Samba in Ubuntu host Operating SystemĪs the package is already available through standard Ubuntu repository. ![]() In case you don’t have one, then contact your System Administrator for assistance.
