#virtmanager
I want to share management of existing #LXC #containers (that I handle with the command line tools) with other people who prefer to use GUIs… (oh, preferences…)
I'd rather not have to "convert" or "migrate" of whatever, but just have the GUI tools manage existing containers without screwing them up…
As I understand, at least #Proxmox will want to create them by itself so it's a no-go.
Anyone experiences with #libvirt / #virtManager can tell me if it's the same or not?
libvirt manager Could not open Permission denied #apparmor #virtmanager
libvirt manager Could not open Permission denied #virtmanager
Puh! Installing libvirt in #fedora / #asahilinux is not straight forward. There are so many non-default options because of running on #arm / #applesilicon. I thought #virtmanager came with necessary defaults even for installing a #windows arm guest - but isn't. I does not boot my win-arm-iso :-(
This is my last issue switching to my new hardware as the daily driver...

When the world is ugly outside and on the internet, just download a Linux ISO and learn something new. At least, that is how I distract myself sometimes.
Today I am messing with Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre in virt-manager.

Now I have deliberately broken a virtual system to aid coming up with a solution.
GNOME Boxes: Schlanke Virtualisierung für den Linux-Desktop (und warum es für Admins trotzdem spannend ist)
Einleitung Virtualisierung unter Linux ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – vom Heim-Server bis zur Enterprise-Umgebung gehören virtuelle Maschinen zum Alltag. Während Tools wie virt-manager, VirtualBox oder VMware Pro jede Menge Schalter und Hebel für Admins bieten, fühlt sich das für einfache Tests oft wie Overkill an. Genau hier setzt GNOME Boxes an: Eine minimalistische, aber ernstzunehmende Oberfläche für KVM/QEMU, die Virtualisierung auf dem Linux-Desktop radikal […]
Folks, this is getting serious. My first open source (MIT license) project and I have no idea what I'm doing 😨
It's called nvirt. The concept in a nutshell: it's similar to writing/using a dockerfile, but for libvirt VMs.
Docs if you're curious to read more: https://nvirt-cli.gitlab.io/
I've just tagged v0.1.0 for testing, feedback and a bit more "tidy up" dev, especially before I commit to backwards compatibility for the "virtfile" format, but for anyone who's interested I'd appreciate feedback, ideas and/or rebukes (if I have wasted my time or committed any cardinal sins given I'm new to Go and actually publishing stuff...)
Huge shout-out for the #libguestfs and #virtManager projects - pretty sure I wouldn't have attempted something like this if those tools didn't exist.

2025-10-20One thing i have come to realise since installing #Kinoite onto Lappy & using it "for real", rather than "just" as VMs in my #ArchLinux Tower for the past few years, is i have needed to be pretty flexible in my appraisal & frequently redesign of my years of "mutables" workflows. This need to still be able to remotely support dad's pooter even from Lappy, if my Tower goes temporarily out of action, is imperative, hence earlier today i was really very annoyed at not being able to solve it.
Well, i am a goose... i actually did solve it last week, but today i had a lot of balls in the air, & under duress i totes forgot last week's method. Silly me. To be clear, it is not a solution, it is a workaround. I still cannot make AD & RD work in Kinoite as Flatpaks, as Distroboxes, & weirdest of all, even by layering onto the base system. So, faced with this, several days ago, i put on my thinking cap & Edward de Bono'd it.
An earlier victory i had, last week, was to get #QEMU #KVM #VirtManager working in Kinoite. It doesn't work as Flatpaks. However i stumbled across the special Distrobox way, provided by the DB Dev [it needs a more complex DB than the "regular" ones i'm used to creating]. So that was ticked off my list as a win, several days ago... which is bloody convenient, coz it is the basis of my AD/RD workaround.
I created a lightweight VM in QEMU, of SparkyLinux Xfce, which is still x11 not Wayland. Herein i installed AD & RD. They... both... then... just... work [ie, i can then properly access & support Dad's pc this way]! Ofc it's such an indirect way to do it, but... it works!
More than one way to skin a cat, heehee.
So I am seriously considering moving to #FreeBSD16 and away from #Debian
Not because I don't like #Debian, because I do. #Debian13 is a great release, and so have the last 10+ years of releases been (mostly) great.
I'm conscious I have limited requirements, use #XFCE as my desktop, plus a few common apps that are all in FreeBSD or available via ports.
The only niggle is around #Docker and #KVM, which I do use both of today, although for the latter I can just go with #qemu and #virtmanager
#Docker is a bit more of a challenge as I understand it.
Before I start any bare-metal testing, I was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on what I could or should do around #Docker when using a #BSD
Beim Upgrade eines Notebook auf #debian13 ist der Prozess bei der Installation der Grafikkartentreiber abgebrochen, das System hart ausgestiegen und war dann nur noch im "rescue mode" startbar. Das upgrade ließ sich auf der Konsole fortsetzen mit
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Später waren die virtuellen Maschinen nicht startbar, wegen fehlender spice Unterstützung. libspice-Server war nicht installiert.
Okay, so #VirtManager (a #libvirt frontend) is now offering both "internal" and "external" snapshots, defaulting to the latter, except apparently you can't then go on to delete those in the UI...? And it creates a foo.snapshot1 in addition to foo.qcow2, except if you delete the former, your VM breaks? Make it make sense
Ciao, qualcuno in questi giorni ha avuto problemi su Arch per aggiornare Virt-Manager? Beh io si😅virt-install:/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-313.pyc è già presente nel filesystem
Seguito da un'altra trentina di altri percorsi che segnalavano tutti che i vari file erano già presenti nel filesystem per cui l'aggiornamento si interrompeva.
Non permettendomi nemmeno di reinstallare il pacchetto ho pensato di fare questo:sudo rm /usr/share/virt-manager/* -r
Ho poi potuto aggiornare, reinstallare virt-manager e sembra che tutto funzioni correttamente.
Non so se ho scelto la strada migliore o quantomeno una strada corretta e immagino che sicuramente ci sarebbero potuti essere altri modi......in ogni caso condivido🙂

#PSA This article https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/KDE-Linux-Alpha-Available-for-Daring-Users unfortunately contains an incorrect statement that might mislead readers. It wrongly says
You also cannot run KDE Linux as a virtual machine, so if you don't have a spare PC lying around, you won't be testing this distributionThat's simply false. I have been running one to three [currently only one] #qemu #kvm #virtmanager VMs of #KDELinux for many months.
@hopland@snabelen.no Thanks... but i'm beginning to suspect i'm not good enough to make this [or any other immutable] distro do what i need...
systemd-sysext is meant to allow other vendors to provide their own image"Vendors"? So is this command not intended for mere ordinary users? All i hoped to be able to do is to use this command to be able to install non-Flatpak apps, like my #VPN app, & #Firejail, etc.
Also, though ofc i cannot test this in a VM, if #KDELinux would have any chance of eventually becoming my main system, i would need to be able to use #KVM #QEMU #VirtManager for my VMs, for which i had assumed i would also need this command.
Unless i could solve these sorts of scenarios, this distro could never become my real system. I am really attracted to it conceptually, but would not compromise on my needs that it would have to support.
🧵 2/n i'm quite chuffed with my "Rack", though!
Most of it is my #Linux #NAS, that #HP box, running #NextCloud and #HomeAssistant VMs. (#libvirt #VirtManager 🥰)
All of that, including 2 spinning HDDs, only draws around 47 Watts, ~58-64 when #ZFS scrubs the spinning mirror! 👀 see pic alt txt for details.
