If you see GUI of the Raspbian OS, you need to get into the terminal. Now you can emulate it on Qemu by using the following command: $ qemu-system-arm -kernel ~/qemu_vms/ -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -serial stdio -append 'root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=ext4 rw' -hda ~/qemu_vms/ -redir tcp:5022::22 -no-reboot Replace the second entry containing /dev/mmcblk0p2 with /dev/sda2, save and exit.Replace the first entry containing /dev/mmcblk0p1 with /dev/sda1.IF you see anything with mmcblk0 in fstab, then:

$ sudo nano /mnt/raspbian/etc/ld.so.preloadР”В¬omment out every entry in that file with РІР‚В#РІР‚в„ў, save and exit with Ctrl-x Р’В» Y. $ sudo mount -v -o offset= 70254592 -t ext4 ~/qemu_vms/ /mnt/raspbian Use this value as an offset in the following command: $ sudo mkdir /mnt/raspbian Now take that value and multiply it by 512, in this case itРІР‚в„ўs 512 * 137216 = 70254592 bytes. You see that the filesystem (.img2) starts at sector 137216. I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesР”Вevice Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes You should see something like this: Disk -raspbian-jessie.img: 4.1 GiB, 4393533440 bytes, 8581120 sectors Inside your Ubuntu VM, create a new folder: $ mkdir ~/qemu_vms/Р”Вownload and place the Raspbian Jessie image to ~/qemu_vms/.Р”Вownload and place the qemu-kernel to ~/qemu_vms/. A Raspbian Image: Р’В (other versions might work, but Jessie is recommended).We will use Ubuntu and emulate our desired ARM versions inside of it.Р”Р‡irst, get the latest Ubuntu version and run it in a VM:Р”Р‡or the QEMU emulation you will need the following:
