What are you trying to do? Do you want to install Debian or Windows on a hypervisor?

The Debian wiki is a good first stop for finding out how to do stuff on Debian.

You don't give a lot of information on what you're trying to achieve, but if I understood correctly, you have managed to create a VM. You have to first start it with virsh and then connect to graphical interface with virt-viewer.

Connect to qemu and view your virtual machines:

Code: Select all

virsh --connect qemu:///system list --all
Start VM

Code: Select all

virsh start <VM_name OR VM id>


View your VM

Code: Select all

virt-viewer --wait --reconnect <VM_name OR VM id>
There's also virt-manager package you can use to graphically manage your VMs. If you're struggling with creating a VM, a bit clearer description of you problem would be helpful. Hope you're already familiar with this Wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/KVM

EDIT: Typos
Debian 10.2 Stable with i3
