Hi all, I have been using net-misc/spice-gtk (spicy is the executable) to connect to libvirt vm's. Works well but I cant use CTRL-ALT-Fx to switch between consoles like you can with virt-manager. Getting my fingers all tangled up yesterday I managed to get it to switch consoles by accident but I cant duplicate whatever key-presses caused it. Help on this app is almost non-existent so I hoping someone may have an idea? BillK
Re: [gentoo-user] net-misc/spice-gtk
Switching VTs works for me using ctrl+alt+f#. I can't figure out which setting is allowing me to do it, if any. Grab keyboard when active and focused wasn't it. I've had to use this to kill spicy a few times as if you fullscreen a guest (on my install, at least) you can't get out. I wasn't aware the spice packages in Gentoo were so out of date, though.

I don't want to change the subject too much, but I've fond QEMU a decent replacement for VirtualBox. It takes some set up at first but is fairly rewarding and easy to manage. I don't suggest using libvirt on Gentoo, but some people do. The main difference with not using libvirt, besides managing QEMU flags and VM startup yourself, is that spice doesn't work (the non-libvirt spice viewer has longstanding bugs, namely a particularly annoying one related to being unable to exit out of fullscreen mode). Depending on your usecase setting up remote access from within the OS of your VM might give you a better experience - you might even try that if you continue using VirtualBox. R0b0t1.

[gentoo-user] Best way for good video performance in virtual machines
Hi out there, assume the following situation: I do have a minimalistic hypervisor running a minimalistic virtual machine (qemu with kvm, qxl and spice). Both systems, hypervisor and VM are able to run X servers and apllications. The graphics card of the hypervisor is connected to a monitor. This monitor only has to show one single standalone QT application which is running on the virtual machine. What will give me more video performance? 1. Running a minimalistic X server on the virtual machine showing the application AND running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor running remote-viewer or 2. Running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor and using X11-Forwarding via bridged ethernet Or maybe even someone knows a better solution? Thank you folks! Cheers Ralf

Please install the 'virt-viewer' package. Which I went about installing, which wasn't easy at all, as you can read below. During all those 14 hours the VM was running, pretty quietly, it didn't leave much in the logs... During most of which time thereof I made many unsuccessful attempts at installing virt-viewer, and eventually I made it to install it, and ran: $ virt-viewer tails which shows in the syslog as: Jan 13 21:02:53 g0n kernel: [270966.343875] grsec: exec of /usr/bin/virt-viewer (virt-viewer tails ) by /usr/bin/virt-viewer[bash:30436] uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:1000/1000, parent /bin/bash[bash:19756] uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:1000/1000 which is what you can see the screencasts of at: http://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-170113_tails/ (the link already given above) To be honest, it's not at all so easy to track down exactly how I did it. But there are a few reasons why I want to do it, the most important being, that I need to replicate the entire procedure, patches and all, because I completed this installation in my clone machine, which I also use for test-installs like this, but the more permanent install I want to do in Air-Gapped [1] machine, which never goes online, and which installation I can then clone [2] onto this contacting-with-the-dangerous-and-dirty-internet machine (and other machines of mine sometimes). Air-Gapping is complex of course, yes, but it so clean and peaceful. Especially the updating the Air-Gapped from my local Gentoo mirror with the portage snapshots signed by the Releng Team. My Air-Gapped is pretty reliably non-compromised, or at least has been, and continues to be, very difficult to compromise. And there'll be some strange things to show from this clone, introduced wih this installation, which don't let me calm and peaceful, there will be! Another reason which looke very important to me when I was getting confused if no-dbus gtk2 virt-manager, along with virt-viewer, was at all possible, is, I even thought for those hard long hours that it looked impossible, that already the time was running out to fix it for everybody, from older packages that would work... Because there really ended up being no way that I could do it, pls. look it up: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-emulation/virt-viewer with, say, what is currently in testing: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-emulation/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-5.0.ebuild While I tried patching quite a few files in the virt-viewer-5.0 source, it could never anymore be done without making gtk+-2.0 into more of a gtk+-3.0 just without the dbus dependency, which I am not apt to accomplishing. Instead, I had to bump into my local portage repo this one: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-emulation/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-3.1.ebuild (of course for both of those --and other packages that I needed to patch--,

That would be a huge waste of resources, plus having to take care of a lot of VMs, plus having to buy a lot of Windoze licenses and taking about a week to install the updates after installing a VM. Add to that that the xen host goes down at random time intervals (because the sending queue of the network card times out for reasons that cannot be determined) which can be as long as a day, a week or even up to three weeks, and you are likely to become a rather unhappy administrator. Try kvm instead, and you'll find that it's impossible to migrate the VMs from xen to to kvm when you want to use virtio drivers because you can't install them on an existing Windoze VM. Then there's the question how well vnc or spice connections work over a VPN that goes over the internet. It's not like the employees could get reliable internet connections with sufficient bandwidth, not to mention that the company would have to get one in the first place, which isn't much easier to get, if any. It might work in theory. How would it be feasible in practise?

I do suggest using libvirt, and found that app-emulation/virt-manager gives you a lot of the benefits of something with a pretty GUI like Virtualbox, but it is 100% FOSS underneath and you can run it all from the command line too. It is just a front-end to libvirt. There are no issues with running these VMs as services also, and I believe that you can connect to their consoles at any time with virt-manager. I can't really compare it in detail to qemu as I've barely used the latter, and mainly for emulation. Honestly, I rarely even use KVM these days as I've almost entirely moved to containers. -- Rich

Sorry, but I consider that a bug in your hardware. If it's really that unstable, replace it. I've been running Xen enabled servers for nearly 15 years. Never had issues like that. If it were truly that unstable, it wouldn't be gaining popularity. > Try kvm instead, and you'll find that > it's impossible to migrate the VMs from xen to to kvm when you want to > use virtio drivers because you can't install them on an existing Windoze > VM. Not a problem with the virtualisation technology. It is an issue with driver management inside MS Windows. There are ways to migrate VMs succesfully, I just don't see the point in wasting time for that. The biggest reason why I don't use KVM is the lack of full snapshot functionality. Snapshotting disks is nice, but you end up with an unclean- shutdown situation and anything that's not yet committed to disk is gone. > Then there's the question how well vnc or spice connections work over a > VPN that goes over the internet. VNC works quite well, as long as you use a minimal desktop. (like blackbox). Don't expect KDE or Gnome to be usable.

That depends on where you are. The company could host the servers in a decent datacentre, which should take care of the bandwidth issues.

[gentoo-user] Video editing advice on formats and size of file
Howdy, I been trying to get this to work right for a goood while now. I'm confused here. I have some videos that I download that are split up. Some have two or three parts and a few 4 or 5. What I can't get is this, I can't seem to take say two 250Mb videos and make it come anywhere near 500Mbs when spliced together. They usually end up being 1.5Gb and sometimes much more. I use Kdenlive to do this with. I have tried every setting that I can find. I have used exiftool to try to match the encoding and rates and all that with no improvement or very little improvement. Is there some secret spice that I am missing or something? Why can't I take two videos and splice them together and it be something close to the two file sizes added together? I'm not asking for a perfect fit but at least something close. If I can get 2 250Mb videos to splice together and be 600Mbs, that would be good enough. Thanks.

On my system only vmware VGA is able to provide a resolution as high as or higher than 1920x1080. Performance of vmware VGA is also better then the other (std, cirrus) emulations.

This monitor only has to show one single standalone QT application which is running on the virtual machine. What will give me more video performance? 1. Running a minimalistic X server on the virtual machine showing the application AND running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor running remote-viewer or 2. Running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor and using X11-Forwarding via bridged ethernet Or maybe even someone knows a better solution? Thank you folks! Cheers Ralf On my system, qemu-kvm has the best performance with X11 on guest. I've also tested vnc and spice with qxl video driver on guest, but X11 was faster. I can imagine that this depends on the hardware and screen resolution. So maybe on your system an other setup is better. My host GPU is a Radeon Ultimate R7 250, resolution is 3840x2160@60Hz, driver is xf86-video-ati. X11 compositing is deactivated on host as well as on guest. As video card on guest I use vmware (-vga vmware). Screen resolution on guest is 2386x1770. That seems to be the highest possible screen size that is available with this settings. I also tested other guest video drivers (std and cirrus) but vmware was the fastest and also the one with the highest resolution. Before I bought an UHD monitor, I used sdl as qemu display (-display sdl) in borderless fullscreen mode (-no-frame -full-screen). I used the same screen resolution on host and guest (1920x1200) and qemu was running on one of my virtual XFCE desktops. This was very handy. But as I've written before, it seems not possible for me to run qemu with UHD screen size. So fullscreen mode isn't possible any longer and now qemu runs in a window on my desktop (-display gtk). But with none of my setups it was/is possible to run a fullscreen video on the guest vm. Performance is much to slow for that. I've spent some time to make it faster, but I failed.

Re: [gentoo-user] Best way for good video performance in virtual machines
Oh, I forgot about the gtk and sdl displays... I'll test them together with QXL. Thanks for your hint! But anyways, I'll need two X servers when using this setup - one on the VM and one on the hypervisor. Shouldn't X11 forwarding be less overhead? Thank you Ralf On 06/25/2015 05:44 AM, waben...@gmail.com wrote: Ralf ralf+gen...@ramses-pyramidenbau.de wrote: Hi out there, assume the following situation: I do have a minimalistic hypervisor running a minimalistic virtual machine (qemu with kvm, qxl and spice). Both systems, hypervisor and VM are able to run X servers and apllications. The graphics card of the hypervisor is connected to a monitor. This monitor only has to show one single standalone QT application which is running on the virtual machine. What will give me more video performance? 1. Running a minimalistic X server on the virtual machine showing the application AND running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor running remote-viewer or 2. Running a minimalistic X server on the hypervisor and using X11-Forwarding via bridged ethernet Or maybe even someone knows a better solution? Thank you folks! Cheers Ralf On my system, qemu-kvm has the best performance with X11 on guest. I've also tested vnc and spice with qxl video driver on guest, but X11 was faster. I can imagine that this depends on the hardware and screen resolution. So maybe on your system an other setup is better. My host GPU is a Radeon Ultimate R7 250, resolution is 3840x2160@60Hz, driver is xf86-video-ati. X11 compositing is deactivated on host as well as on guest. As video card on guest I use vmware (-vga vmware). Screen resolution on guest is 2386x1770. That seems to be the highest possible screen size that is available with this settings. I also tested other guest video drivers (std and cirrus) but vmware was the fastest and also the one with the highest resolution. Before I bought an UHD monitor, I used sdl as qemu display (-display sdl) in borderless fullscreen mode (-no-frame -full-screen). I used the same screen resolution on host and guest (1920x1200) and qemu was running on one of my virtual XFCE desktops. This was very handy. But as I've written before, it seems not possible for me to run qemu with UHD screen size. So fullscreen mode isn't possible any longer and now qemu runs in a window on my desktop (-display gtk). But with none of my setups it was/is possible to run a fullscreen video on the guest vm. Performance is much to slow for that. I've spent some time to make it faster, but I failed. I would be happy for any hints about better video performance with qemu. -- Regards wabe

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as KVM, is, in fact, QEMU/KVM, or as I've recently taken to calling it, QEMU plus KVM.

Dale wrote: Howdy, I been trying to get this to work right for a goood while now. I'm confused here. I have some videos that I download that are split up. Some have two or three parts and a few 4 or 5. What I can't get is this, I can't seem to take say two 250Mb videos and make it come anywhere near 500Mbs when spliced together. They usually end up being 1.5Gb and sometimes much more. I use Kdenlive to do this with. I have tried every setting that I can find. I have used exiftool to try to match the encoding and rates and all that with no improvement or very little improvement. Is there some secret spice that I am missing or something? Why can't I take two videos and splice them together and it be something close to the two file sizes added together? I'm not asking for a perfect fit but at least something close. If I can get 2 250Mb videos to splice together and be 600Mbs, that would be good enough. You're probably re-encoding, rather than simply splicing the existing streams. The resulting size will necessarily have some quality loss, and the resulting file size will depend greatly on the quality of your encoder, not just on your settings for codec choice and options. What you really want to do is repackage the audio and video streams from all your files into a single container file. Back when I was poking simple things like this, I used 'avidemux'. That was ages ago, and on Ubuntu, but it might work for you. You'd want to use 'copy' for your audio and video selection, to avoid any transcoding. On Ubuntu, I usually had difficulties(read: crashes) with avidemux when some tool or library it wanted wasn't installed--it wasn't smart enough to remove those options from its menus if those options weren't present. I haven't tried it on gentoo; it's plausible someone fixed that either upstream or as part of some USE flag awareness in the past couple years. I expect there are ways to do the exact same thing on the command line using ffmpeg, but I'm less familiar with that tool.

If disk-space is considered too expensive, you could even have every VM use the same base image. And have them store only the differences of the disk. eg: 1) Create a VM 2) Snapshot the disk (with the VM shutdown) 3) create a new VM based on the snapshot Repeat 2 and 3 for as many clones you want. Most installs don't change that much when dealing with standardized desktops. -- Joost

Of course, none of the VirtualBox disks > use anywhere near 50GB. True, that's for testing when you do know that the disk space will not be used and have no trouble when it is. When you have the VMs in production and users (employees) using them, you don't know when they will run out of disk space and trouble ensues. > All Joost is saying is that most resources can be overcommitted, since > all the users will not be using all their resources at the same time. How do you overcommit disk space and then shrink the VMs automatically when disk usage gets lower again?

The problem appears to be the "sdl" flag. It slows down things by
adding one more layer of middleware and overhead. I also got rid of the
"gtk2" flag, for the same reason. By building QEMU with "-sdl" and
"-gtk2", I get playback that is indistinguishable from playback on the
host. Here is the build that works properly "emerge -pv qemu"...

There are Howtos on the internet describing how to migrate VMs from 1 technology to another. Shouldn't be too hard.

[gentoo-user] Re: Managing multiple Gentoo systems
The 06/07/11, Grant wrote: After a frustrating experience with a Linksys WRT54GL, I've decided to stick with Gentoo routers. This increases the number of Gentoo systems I'm responsible for and they're nearing double-digits. What can be done to make the management of multiple Gentoo systems easier? I think identical hardware in each system would help a lot but I'm not sure that's practical. I need to put together a bunch of new workstations and I'm thinking some sort of server/client arrangement with the only Gentoo install being on the server could be appropriate. I maintain multiple Gentoo we mostly use as KVM hosts systems (and coming embedded routers). As KVM hosts, some of them are very sensible. Due to the contracts to our customers, I have to do with various update strategies on top of various hardware. Thanks to everyone for some very juicy tidbits. I'm rearranging my thinking on all of this. I think the key for me may be to combine systems with separate functions in the same physical location into a single system. Does the KVM thing work well? KVM itself works very well here, even with advanced features such as KSM pages sharing. The difficulties come with Microsoft products for both good integration and perfomance (I would recommend RAW format, iSCSI or plain physical partition instead of qcow2, for example). That beeing said, I finally have all working well for XP, NT2003 and 2008 servers. I use libvirt on top of KVM which is in the way to become very good AFA you don't rely on libvirt's API which tend to move a lot. Running a bunch of workstations as nothing more than wireless KVM setups on the same system? I should be able to cut my Gentoo systems down to just a few. Basically one at each physical location. I would be much sceptical for both workstations and wireless guests than for servers: 1) For workstations, things are currently changing with the very recent and not much usable with Gentoo, yet spice software. I expect a lot of improvments in the coming months for this use case. I would say it's not ready for production, yet. 2) About wireless virtualization it's highly depending on what you aim to do, especially if you intend to use the PCI passthrough feature to give your wireless card to a guest. For this to work, you MUST have your hardware (CPU, motherboard and PCI card) VT-d compatible which is currently NOT a piece of cake, today. It relies on industry and manufacturers moving not as fast as software. I would expect more widely VT-d cards in the coming _years_. Now, if you intend to use the wireless card from you hosts and share networks using bridge utilities it _MAY_ be OK: Linux bridging does not always work with all wireless cards (see http://tinyurl.com/ylcutwv for more information). In a more general approach, when I hear routers and wireless I'm more thinking _embedded_. KVM/qemu would only help you to build your target systems. For embedded (or tiny, at least) systems, I would not use LXC. The drawback with Gentoo is that the current official uclibc stage3 for embedded/tiny systems is obsolete and marked as experimental. In facts, it's very _hard_ if not impossible to use it these days. Making your own cross-compilation environment is not a piece of cake (too), even with dedicated tools such as crossdev. This topic would ask its own book. So, if you want to try Gentoo embedded save your time by working on unofficial stage3. -- Nicolas Sebrecht

Why can't I take two videos and splice them together and it be something close to the two file sizes added together? I'm not asking for a perfect fit but at least something close. If I can get 2 250Mb videos to splice together and be 600Mbs, that would be good enough. You're probably re-encoding, rather than simply splicing the existing streams. The resulting size will necessarily have some quality loss, and the resulting file size will depend greatly on the quality of your encoder, not just on your settings for codec choice and options. What you really want to do is repackage the audio and video streams from all your files into a single container file. Back when I was poking simple things like this, I used 'avidemux'. That was ages ago, and on Ubuntu, but it might work for you. You'd want to use 'copy' for your audio and video selection, to avoid any transcoding. On Ubuntu, I usually had difficulties(read: crashes) with avidemux when some tool or library it wanted wasn't installed--it wasn't smart enough to remove those options from its menus if those options weren't present. I haven't tried it on gentoo; it's plausible someone fixed that either upstream or as part of some USE flag awareness in the past couple years. I expect there are ways to do the exact same thing on the command line using ffmpeg, but I'm less familiar with that tool. Well, it took some experimenting but I finally figured it out. I like to have never found the save video option under the file menu. Why not hide it next time. lol I can't blame it on my glasses this time either. I got new ones a while back. Maybe it is stupidity. o_O I will say this tho, it is dang fast. It took like 10 to 15 seconds and it was done. Kdenlive took MUCH longer. File size is awesome too. The two files added are very close to just adding the file size of each video. I'm talking within a megabyte or two. Thanks for this tip. I got a new toy to play with. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?

Re: [gentoo-user] QEMU unable to initialize audio
I was saying the libsdl packages have a USE flag "sound" which builds the sound module for sdl. So if qemu makes any calls to the sound module not pure alsa calls, that might be causing your issue. Wabes USE flag output shows he's building sdl with the "sound" use flag enabled and not just alsa alone.

However it doesn't make any difference if I set the alsa USE-flag for qemu or not. I don't know if qemu runs flawless without sdl2 USE-flag. But you can easily test this. Btw. Since I reverted from qemu-2.5.0 back to qemu-2.4.1-r2, qemu hangs no longer when I specify ac97, hda or es1370 as sound hardware emulation.

I now use qemu with "-soundhw es1370" and am have automated the start of the mixer app. With this, sound is working fine. As I already said, when I use sb16 or gus then I have no sound at all.

I never used gentoo as guest OS, only xubuntu and OpenSuse. So I can't
give you tips for your gentoo guest installation.
Have you also tried it without the -monitor option?
Here some infos about my host and guest OS.
Host: gentoo, kernel 4.1.7-hardened-r1, qemu-2.5.0,
x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4, x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.6.1
Guest: xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, kernel 3.13.0-74-generic, vmware VGA emulation
If screen resolution and performance isn't that important for you then
you could also try to connect via vnc or spice.
Attached is my guest xorg.log.

To do it yourself you need a VMserver (Xen or similar) and a remote desktop tool that hooks into the VM display. (Spice or VNC) Then you need some way of authenticating users and providing access to the client software. I have not been able to set all that up myself yet, but it is on my wish/todo list. Ideally, I'd like an affordable XenDesktop licencing scheme for a few simultaneous users. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

[gentoo-user] QEMU not running on new machine
With my older machine locking up once too often at in-opportune times,
I've switched over to a newer machine, which I've tried to set up
identically. QEMU is not laumching. It worked on the older system.
The error message is...

When they do not use it anyway, there is no reason to give it to them in the first place. And when they do use it, how do the VMs handle the problem that they have plenty disk space available, from their point of view, while the host which they don't know about doesn't allow them to use it? Besides, overcommitting disk space means to intentionally create a setup which involves that the host can run out of disk space easily. That is not something I would want to create for a host which is required to function reliably. And how much do you need to worry about the security of the VMs when you build in a way for the users to bring the whole machine, or at least random VMs, down by using the disk space which has been assigned to them? The users are somewhat likely to do that even unintentionally, the more the more you overcommit. > Overcommitting memory is, i think, on the roadmap for Xen.

Individually, in lack of a better way. Per user when it comes to setting up their MUAs and the like, in lack of any better way. It doesn't make a difference if it's a VM or not, provided that you have remote access to the machine. When you one VM for many users, you install the MUA only once, and when you need to do updates, you do them only once.

Last time I installed a VM, it took a week until the updates where finally installed, and you have to check on it every now and then to find out if it's even doing anything at all.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Managing multiple Gentoo systems
After a frustrating experience with a Linksys WRT54GL, I've decided to stick with Gentoo routers. This increases the number of Gentoo systems I'm responsible for and they're nearing double-digits. What can be done to make the management of multiple Gentoo systems easier? I think identical hardware in each system would help a lot but I'm not sure that's practical. I need to put together a bunch of new workstations and I'm thinking some sort of server/client arrangement with the only Gentoo install being on the server could be appropriate. I maintain multiple Gentoo we mostly use as KVM hosts systems (and coming embedded routers). As KVM hosts, some of them are very sensible. Due to the contracts to our customers, I have to do with various update strategies on top of various hardware. Thanks to everyone for some very juicy tidbits. I'm rearranging my thinking on all of this. I think the key for me may be to combine systems with separate functions in the same physical location into a single system. Does the KVM thing work well? KVM itself works very well here, even with advanced features such as KSM pages sharing. The difficulties come with Microsoft products for both good integration and perfomance (I would recommend RAW format, iSCSI or plain physical partition instead of qcow2, for example). That beeing said, I finally have all working well for XP, NT2003 and 2008 servers. I use libvirt on top of KVM which is in the way to become very good AFA you don't rely on libvirt's API which tend to move a lot. Running a bunch of workstations as nothing more than wireless KVM setups on the same system? I should be able to cut my Gentoo systems down to just a few. Basically one at each physical location. I would be much sceptical for both workstations and wireless guests than for servers: 1) For workstations, things are currently changing with the very recent and not much usable with Gentoo, yet spice software. I expect a lot of improvments in the coming months for this use case. I would say it's not ready for production, yet. 2) About wireless virtualization it's highly depending on what you aim to do, especially if you intend to use the PCI passthrough feature to give your wireless card to a guest. For this to work, you MUST have your hardware (CPU, motherboard and PCI card) VT-d compatible which is currently NOT a piece of cake, today. It relies on industry and manufacturers moving not as fast as software. I would expect more widely VT-d cards in the coming _years_. Now, if you intend to use the wireless card from you hosts and share networks using bridge utilities it _MAY_ be OK: Linux bridging does not always work with all wireless cards (see http://tinyurl.com/ylcutwv for more information). In a more general approach, when I hear routers and wireless I'm more thinking _embedded_. KVM/qemu would only help you to build your target systems. For embedded (or tiny, at least) systems, I would not use LXC. The drawback with Gentoo is that the current official uclibc stage3 for embedded/tiny systems is obsolete and marked as experimental. In facts, it's very _hard_ if not impossible to use it these days. Making your own cross-compilation environment is not a piece of cake (too), even with dedicated tools such as crossdev. This topic would ask its own book. So, if you want to try Gentoo embedded save your time by working on unofficial stage3. -- Nicolas Sebrecht I think I'm guilty of assumption regarding your original reference to KVM. I assumed you mean keyboard-video-mouse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch but now I think you meant Kernel-based Virtual Machine: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page And now that I look more closely at KVM switches, it looks like they provide a method of controlling multiple computers via a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. I need sort of the inverse. I'd like to control a single Gentoo computer via multiple sets of keyboards, monitors, and mice simultaneously. It would basically be a way to have the functionality of multiple workstations but the administration hassle of only a single system. Wireless communication between the computer and each keyboard-monitor-mouse would be most convenient, but that may not be possible so wired would be fine. Does something like this exist? - Grant

[gentoo-user] Re: automated code validation
will be hard. The culture change will be harder. And that is why YOU are on the council. My prayers and old fingers are with you, brah! The hardware will be easy. Hardware is FUN. Everybody loves new tangible goodies, kids through old folks. That's why my first degrees where in hardware (fluids and electronics). I then realize that the microprocessor is what animates the hardware and allows an EE to become lazy and successful. So I studied CS, got an advanced degree and continue to study, build and work on software. It never ends, so we must bond together to get codes to be what we need them to be. I know this assembler--Haskel migration is hard on old dudes like me, it is very, very hard. All I ever do is read and learn new software tricks without ever mastering anything. Bottom line - this sort of thing is a lot harder to pull off than it might first appear. I don't want to discourage anybody, but don't think that you can toss together a few lines in bash to do an emerge -e world and you're done. Of course, if you do want to do a manual run like this and manually submit bugs that have been manually screened for validity, that is always welcome. For me, you build things and manually test them. Then you automate what has worked manually. Sure it often occurs simultaneously, but things must be manual and partitionable to facilitate test and debug. I think with ample thought, planing and a cool, inviting plan, we can get many kids to participate in GSoC. If we reach out there are many other folks at various distros that have a high level of need (frustration). The gentoo rank and file experts may just be too busy, too burnt or disinterested. I dunno. Certainly there is a lot of horsepower in our ranks. I've had several grad students recently send me unsolicited email in search of tough problems to solve. Surely we can add some algorithmic challenges, centric on some of the newer languages to spice this up a bit for those hungry brilliant minds too? If Gentoo does not do this, Who will? Who else can (lead) this sort of effort? For whatever reason, I think this task has fallen on Gentoo. With the work of LikeWahoa, we can build a usb gentoo image that has this (GLEP) proposal, and the necessary tools to entire devs from other distros to download and plug in the USB stick. WE get them addicted to Gentoo via a live usb stick. They can hide, but it becomes easy to update the usb stick *everybody* can use it to come up to speed quickly and catch gentoo fever. The fever allows folks to at least taste gentoo, read a bit and send in codes on this GLEP. I know many vikings working on some subterranean physics all looking seriously at gentoo. Gentoo on a usb stick allows for a liveGENTOO that can be easily updated and they can jump in and out of Gentoo, until the fever takes hold. Or some other kind of hook? Fishing was very difficult till the hook was refined. WE need a hook, imho. Easy Gentoo and a project to assist in testing code; you've got a killer idea there rich, and I'm glad to be on your team!

The above are as they should be. When building qemu it is important to set
USE="virgl". This is how mine was built:

Thereafter, the trick in getting hardware acceleration in the guest is to set
'-vga virtio' when launching the guest VM with qemu:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm -display sdl,gl=on -vga

IIRC I tried that, and it tends to say that I can't remove these drivers in safe mode. I also can't install them other than when booting into the repair options because when virtio is enabled, the device the drivers are needed for is unavailable and doesn't show up before the drivers are installed. That leaves me with repair mode as the only option to "install" the drivers, but they aren't installed and only used during the repair mode. You can do a repair with the drivers upplied, and it still won't boot after that. These drivers don't have an installer, and the only way to get them installed seems to be by providing them during the installation of the OS, which is pointless because it's already installed. >> > And keeping the installers at hand is, in my opinion, a requirement of >> > sane >> > system management. >> > I have installers for all the versions of software I deal with. >> >> Indeed --- but some predecessor decided not to keep an installer which >> would be required and is now unavailable.

It's faster in most cases. Exception being, the VM having such a large amount of memory assigned that the disk-I/O to store the memory takes longer than a reboot. Or, in my usual use-case for needing snapshots, is in the middle of a lengthy manual process, I want to take a snapshot of the current situation and a reboot at that point in time will actually cause issues. The software being used is usually in memory and a disk-only snapshot (eg. system crashed simulation when restoring) will mean I can start over. > >> >> Then there's the question how well vnc or spice connections work over > >> >> a > >> >> VPN that goes over the internet. > >> > > >> > VNC works quite well, as long as you use a minimal desktop.

Login to the RDP session can be linked to 2FA or smart-cards which need to be plugged into the laptop. Don't ask me how, but I have seen it work. Couple that with a VPN (Which I consider an absolute must when allowing employees to work from elsewhere via the internet).

True, but if you end up paying for the privilege to work, why work at all?

famous last words... I forgot a few things. but this version puts you
much closer to having a working system in 90 minutes or less. All you
need to do is:
boot off of life CD

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash #(don't forget -t vfat if necessary)
edit /mnt/flash/gentoo/config #(to meet your requirements)
bash /mnt/flash/gentoo/phase1.sh #( to start everything off)
when it comes time, menuconfig will come up and let you configure the
kernel.
current problems are getting modules to automatically load and
automatically setting the password. I may just used to make the root
password go away at login so you can get in without first putting single
user mode but I'm not really comfortable with that for obvious reasons.
on the module loading problem, I'm coming to the opinion that if you
need a module at boot time, it should just be built into the kernel. YKMV.
I think this will be the last posting of this code, eventually I will
put up Web accessible page or two on these pieces and I will post a
notice at that point.

[gentoo-user] Completed installing ... into /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0
First time I've ever seen a package install into PORTAGE_TMPDIR... Q: What am I missing? The rest of last nights "emerge --update" went into places like /usr/bin... where you'd expect. After the upgrade I noticed that virt-manager wasn't there. Tried emerging it alone to see what had happened. # emerge ... app-emulation/virt-manager; # which virt-manager; which: no virt-manager in (/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin) $ less /var/log/portage/app-emulation\:virt-manager-4.0.0\:20230218-151519.log changing mode of /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image/usr/bin/virt-xml to 755 changing mode of /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image/usr/bin/virt-install to 755 changing mode of /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image/usr/bin/virt-clone to 755 changing mode of /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image/usr/bin/virt-manager to 755 >>> Completed installing app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0 into >>> /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image * Final size of build directory: 22080 KiB (21.5 MiB) * Final size of installed tree: 7420 KiB ( 7.2 MiB) Full emerge: /usr/bin/emerge --deep --backtrack=128 --with-bdeps y --complete-graph y --autounmask-write --verbose-conflicts --jobs --load-average 60 --verbose-conflicts See also: https://pastebin.com/76x7AdB9 Full emerge log https://pastebin.com/EmyLJsyM emerge --info -- Steven Lembark Workhorse Computing lemb...@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508 * Package:app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0:0 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: virtualizat...@gentoo.org * USE:abi_x86_64 amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux python_single_target_python3_10 userland_GNU * FEATURES: network-sandbox preserve-libs sandbox userpriv usersandbox * Using python3.10 to build >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking virt-manager-4.0.0.tar.gz to /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/work >>> Source unpacked in /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/work >>> Preparing source in /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/work/virt-manager-4.0.0 ... * Applying virt-manager-4.0.0-setuptools-61-fix.patch ...
