Re: heh... my qemu still runs
So that Looking Glass does use libvirt and Spice for some of it. What's kind of promising about this is that it will plug into virt-manager (have to edit some XML etc.) but it's libvirt. It's only for Windows guests, but also would just be used for Windows guests.

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
I'm looking at that other software though. Maybe another front end would be better now, or just bite the bullet and configure qemu by hand in the command line. I have all the functionality and external stuff now, unlike before in my LFS. I do think my problem with the clipboard is because virt-manag...

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
I would actually like to attach another monitor to the Intel graphics ports for this. The one on the other desk. I think I could even do it with normal cable length just by moving the desk, and the monitor on it a bit closer but up to 10 feet cable length seems like it would be practical for Display...

Re: Random Stuff, Seen on the net that made me LoL
It sounds counter-intuitive, but that makes sense. When the wheels aren't spinning, or not spinning very fast, there's no need to waste energy powering a drive shaft that's not engaged, or inhibited by gearing and braking. You can be charging the batteries with the unused current being generated whe...

So I was right about it being specifically SSE 4.2 causing it to bomb out with anything higher than -march=core2 used.

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
Actually there is one thing I could do for Windows 11 guests, I'm just not willing to. I could enable the Intel graphics adapter for passthrough. That supports SR-IOV (I think all Intel graphics do these days). Of course Linux guests would then use that too and it would be way better than using virg...

I got copy and paste working between Windows 11 guest and host in both directions simply by installing the spice guest tools in Windows. That installed some serial driver for it.

Damn, that Arch VM is pretty much perfect now. I have a custom kernel now and I think I've got everything as good as I can. I was surprised to find that it took less than 2 minutes to build a kernel, with 4 cores and 8 threads, using "make -j10" like I used to. That kernel would have taken...

I got "shared folders" working for the first time. I mean actual virtio shared between host and guest (I used to just use networking... the network stack will use loopback by default if it's on the same host). I liked the simplicity of my simple qemu client, but now that I have virt-manage...

See, Jay cares about optimizing for temperature over performance. He's admitting his CPU isn't doing as much work with his settings, with lower cinebench scores.

Re: Arch Linux 2024
So they've definitely changed the way the globbing works with wildcards in pacman's IgnorePkg directives. What used to work for me doesn't anymore. For example, if I ignore gcc as gcc* it doesn't match package name gcc itself, only gcc-libs. If there is nothing after the wildcard, it doesn't match. ...

I can't find the screensaver module anywhere, it looks like that's gone now? The only answers I can find are "Why do you want that?" with admonishments that screensavers aren't necessary. I know that... and as far as I'm concerned, them breathing oxygen is not necessary to me either. Those...
