Already had all those dependencies installed if you look above youll see
the output was

crw-rw-rw-. 1 root kvm 10, 232 Jul 1 13:05 /dev/kvm

it exists however docker still says docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/kvm": no such file or directory.

Closing the issue as I no longer need it switched operating systems.
