QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When
used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one
machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC).
By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.
When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by
executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports
virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM
kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86,

user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It
primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux
containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live
performance & resource utilization statistics. Wizards enable the
creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a
domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and
SPICE client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest
domain.
Install QEMU on ubuntu 14.10
Open the terminal and run the following command
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu virt-manager virt-viewer libvirt-bin
After the installation when i try to open the virt-managet i got "
Unable to connect to libvert" so simple

to fix this issue is restart your ubuntu PC and try to open virt-manager it will work without any issue
Using Virt-manager
You can open virt-manager from dash by searching "virtual machine manager"

Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen

You can create new virtual machine by clicking on "Name"

This will complete the new VM creation and from here you can install Guest OS on this VM.
