Hi Jay, thanks for the great video! What happens if you run an application or command that has a graphical component or that launches a GUI?

Thank you. Very good video, and you covered it to make it very, very easy to understand. New to Linux, but Guys like you are showing me the ropes ... Making Linux less intimidating ...

What are resources consumed/taken by the vm instance once created/launched using multipass command?

Thanks for this walkthrough. I am looking for saving a multipass container and use it later or share with others. is this possible? What are commands for commit/save a container as a disk image?

I want to know how many driver multipass support, and if they can support external hypervisor machine or not? I look the documentation I can only see virtualbox, I don't if they support vmware workstation or fusion on mac, kvm, xen, external hypervisor cluster, or cloud machine

i needed this!! thank you so much i cant use docker cuz i have a old build of windows 10. Now i can use it as docker

Does it have a GUI like Virtual Box or Qume?

Can multipass be used tu run a graphical application?

How do I access my downloads folder using change directory command ?

Can you run a browser in the VM via multipass? IE: multipass exec primary firefox? Mine complains i don't have $DISPLAY env setup but offers no other help

Hi, My multipass is not showing my IPv4, I'm using MacOs and my proxy is not blocking. Do you know anything about it?

Is this a full replacement for running VM to for developing software? IE is this a full replacement for software like KVM or VMware?

Thanks for the video , i am getting this error "check_kvm_support script failed to start error when attempting to create VM" .I enabled Virtualization in the BIOS. I am using multipass in Ubuntu VM machine.

Is it possible to give multipass VMs separate IPv4 or IPv6 static IP addresses? I'd like to port forward to a mutipass VM for plexmedia server for instance, but I don't know that this would be ideal. The other question I had is for data retention and firewalls. If I block something with UFW is it actually blocked? I ran into some issues with Docker that's why I've been hesitant to get on the containerization train. At any rate, I really appreciate the knowledge that you've shared with the community and you're always one of the people I recommend when it comes to learning linux.

Great video. I didn't know about Multi Pass.

Can I use to use graphic interface too?

Another top notch tutorial.Thank you Jay!

My pleasure. :)

Hello all! When I tried to run 'multipass launch --name ubuntu-vm', all I got was "launch failed: The check_kvm_support script failed to start. Ensure it is in multipassd's PATH." (No, I'm not sure why it's called 'multipassd' or why 'path' is in all caps - that's exactly what it says). Any ideas on how to put 'check_kvm_support' in multipassd's path? I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro, if that helps. Thanks and Godspeed!

Is it possible to run multiple vm?

Friend, Please help me! I created a VM (instants? What's that) on my mac m1. It's good and running. Now, if I want to use that VM as a virtual computer to surf the web, downloads app, etc. how do I do that? Please help! Thanks for your kind support!

root@root:/home/iulian# sudo snap install --classic multipass snap "multipass" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh' root@root:/home/iulian# help me....I did what it says, but it still doesn't work ...

Is it possible to run a server using multipass?

I have been using linode too for many years now. The fact that here plans are soo good and cheap and there tech support is fast saced me soo much time and money. Basicly everything that doesnt require a lot of storage is much more worth it to get moved on linode then self hosting. I only have freenas hosted at home now rest is all on linode

Which is my problem? when I cannont inicialicite an instance with multipass start or launch because console prints :( qemu-img; error: Process operation timed out) Is it my computer? or I need to install a package! help me please!

im sure its latency of your internet, faced this issue , I had to wait till the internet was fast and stable

virtualbox can clone and/or have a "protected" vhd, but this needs an already installed distro in the vbox env, so that takes more space but can be any distro/windows version ... also you can have 1 core vhd of each. like ub 18/19 ... and debian/arch/mandriva/suse ..., but multipass looks good.

Thank You, Jay. Question. This looks and feels more like docker then vm. Please tell us how is this different from docker. Can we install and run docker inside of multipass

It runs a VM using some virtualization technology not a container like a docker.

I'm confused about that login and logout requirement to update PATH. What's going on here? Does something init on login? Is this logout required or can I run something to do the same thing?

Amending PATH reliably is historically very hard. This allows the changed PATH to be picked up by the desktop session.

It's just their own alternative to these services, over Docker it definitely has a lot more similarities with a realistic machine because it doesn't "strip" everything "unnecessary" away. I really don't see any clear or direct benefits vs Vagrant besides it maybe having some better or more intuitive networking capabilities.

Unlike docker it always gives you a virtual machine with the exact kernel you'd be using in production. It's similar to vagrant but differs in workflows built around it.

Why not vagrant? It is simple and faster

Just use vagrant instead, and install Linux distros of your choise.
