Seems like help-hurd is a low traffic list. Hoping for some help here instead.
-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Svante Signell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Some qemu+hurd questions Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 09:14:33 +0100 Hello, I have finally taken the time to install hurd, as a start with qemu and Jeremie Koenigs ported Debian installer in mini.iso. Thank you all Hurders for your good work! In connection to the install I have a few questions. Installing Hurd with mini.iso as show in README.txt: qemu -m 512 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user -hda hurd-install.qemu -cdrom ~/SW/hurd-installer/mini.iso -boot d Installation went well, apt and grub2 work perfectly, however extremely slow, several hours for the installation. After the install I tried with -m 256, same common problem: one of the two CPUs loaded 100%, the other idle, almost all memory used and sloow. Running the installed Hurd: qemu -m 256 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user -hda hurd-install.qemu - Does qemu have a terminal where I can get a scrollbar, without it is very difficult to catch all output. - How to shut down Hurd in qemu properly? Just closing the qemu window hurd complained on an unclean shutdown and had to check disks. The solution I found so far is to shut down Hurd as root in the qemu window before closing the window. - When installing Hurd, no Swedish locale was found, I used the default. The problem is that the US keyboard is used by qemu+hurd, while I have a Swedish keyboard. It is very difficult to type correctly since common characters are at strange positions, e.g. - is /, <shift>* is |, รถ is :, etc. How do I get a Swedish keyboard mapping working in qemu+hurd? - qemu seems to grab the mouse when clicking on the window, making it impossible to copy text from that window somewhere else. Is that solvable? - qemu-kvm is also available in addition to qemu. Would things be faster with it, there seems to be some kernel modules added? Does my CPU, see below, support virtualisation? - Availability of Emacs, Arch Hurd has a working version, not Debian. I'm not so fluent in using vi or nano. Computer is a dual Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 32bit box running Debian unstable. I have only 512M memory on the box. Is that too little to run Linux+Hurd simultaneously? /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 and 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 3000.471 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pebs bts cid xtpr bogomips : 6000.54 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 32 bits virtual power management: Thanks, Svante Signell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
