Some more info:<br>
- I was wrong about the needed disk space. The virtual disk is not<br>
dynamic like on VirtualBox. If you say it is 30G, it will allocate<br>
30G.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>there must be type of disk, qcow(2), raw, etc.. qcow2 supposed to be growable. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Until now, with the CinGG build failing quite early, it uses<br>
7.4G of the allocated space. Because a simple ./bld.sh on Fedora<br>
produces 3Gs, you might be OK with 12G or even less.<br>
You can find the used space with "du -BM <virtual-disk-filename>" .<br>
<br>
- It works here fine now with GUI, I use the XFCE desktop. You have to<br>
configure both host and client, as follows, using virt-manager VM<br>
Details view, then via the "Add hardware" at bottom right:<br>
- add usb keyboard<br>
- add usb mouse<br>
- add Graphics (this is the host side of the clients graphical<br>
output), type Display: Spice, Listen type: Address, address:<br>
Hypervisor default. Do not select OpenGL.<br>
- Add video (client side graphical interface). There are 5<br>
types, all work, but Ramfb has a fixed format of 800x600.<br>
Have not done any measurements, QXL seems slightly quicker to<br>
react to kbd input (typing). I use virtio. if you select<br>
virtio, deselect 3D acceleration (GL). Would be nice if it<br>
works, but it did not here; maybe it works if the system has<br>
a later GL version.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>it was working for me on opengl 3.3 hardware (nvidia g92 / nouveau) </div><div>for x86-64 guest.. </div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
- Once the GUI is running, you can change its resolution (in<br>
XFCE via the "display" settings), but unlike VirtualBox, it<br>
is not picked up automatically: in virt-manager, do<br>
"View->Resize to VM"<br>
- For sound, add the ICH6 or ICH9 sound card, AC97 does not<br>
work. "pavucontrol" reports line out and line in, but playing<br>
a Youtube video shows output, but the host gets none of it.<br>
- Have not attempted file sharing between host and client yet.<br>
For serious work this would be better that smb. (and the<br>
latter I do not have working yet either). </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><div>I think I had nfs set up on (x86) host for some x86 guests.. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">usb<br>

- Cut-and-paste between host and client not working so far.<br>
<br>
The emulation (7 of the 8 host threads) is a _lot_ slower than running<br>
"native" but workable for compiling. Firefox is pretty unusable.<br>
