Im looking for a definite way to install KVM virtualization on my Ubuntu 12.04 server with command-line only.

My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address 81.xx.xxx.64
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     broadcast 81.xx.xxx.255
     gateway 81.xx.xxx.1

The only seemingly useful information i found is the following link:

h ttp://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts

However, iam really unsure if this is fully adoptable for me.

As on the linked page mentioned, this is my egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo output:

root@j064:~# egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

Is there anything different for my environment concerning the network configuration? I ask because if i mess it up the server wont be available for me and i would have to reinstall everything on it.

Since this problem has been solved in such a way that no substantive answer is likely to be provided, we might close this as "too localized." That's not a bad thing, and you should continue to feel free to post questions (and answers, if you wish) here on Ask Ubuntu. – Eliah Kagan Dec 23 '12 at 11:11
Well, i consider this question as likely to be helpful. I was unsure if the tutorial is apllicable for a dedicated server, and it is of course. – Aurigae Dec 23 '12 at 14:56
It's good to answer your own questions, but the solution should be posted in the answer rather than the question. If your intention is to present a tutorial, you should edit the question and answer so the question asks how to do something and the answer details the solution. If you choose to do this, we'd almost certainly reopen this question--just flag the question (after applying the edits) and ask it be reopened, and/or comment here indicating that you've done so (to get reopen votes). – Eliah Kagan Dec 23 '12 at 14:59

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

The question is solved for me, tried it blindly and the bidge works.
