Hi Guys,
I am new to Linux Lite. Just tried the RC of 5.0 and its awesome.
new users should certainly like it.
Now I am not able to install the drivers required for getting spice graphics up and running in the VM. cant find the driver for xorg for spice
I followed the steps in
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/libosinfo/issues/2
but cant get it to install - xserver-xorg-video-qxl
Would be good to run Linux Lite 5 as a guest with spice enabled in a KVM/QEMU environment
Are you using virt-manager (GUI) or command line only? If you happen to be running qemu-kvm from command line, you have to use the qxl vga option, something like:
qemu-kvm -hda Linux_Lite5.qcow2 -machine option -m RAM -vga qxl
and think it should work. However, I find that the virtio driver works a lot better, to use it just change
-vga qxl
to
-vga virtio
and that should do it. Virtio driver provides better performance, imo. Read here for more info on this topic
