Is there another Assembler, besides GAS, that uses ATT assembly syntax?
LabWC's solution is to use a ToggleKeybindings keybinding to temporarily disable all keybindings globally while you use the VM, then re-enable keybindings when your done. This is obviously not optimal if you're constantly switching between VMs and other windows.
What solutions do Wayland users use for passing keybindings (ex: Alt-Tab) through to a VM being viewed with virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a Wayland WM? X11 had some kind of special hint to tell the WM to pass all keybindings through to the VM's viewer window. Do you just temporarily disable keybindings while viewing a VM? Is it possible to run virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a separate instance of Wayland/wlroots that only displays that windows and passes all keyboard input to it (e.g. the Wayland equivalent of xinit virt-viewer ... -- :1)?
#virtviewer #remoteviewer #virtmanager #libvirt #qemu #wayland #labwc
Continuing my LabWC testing. Appears that LabWC or Wayland has issues with not allowing virt-manager to capture keys/mouse when viewing a VM in fullscreen mode. Apparently this was a known bug in Gnome/Wayland that was fixed two years ago, but for some reason I'm running into the same issue on labwc 0.7.1 (latest version available on Ubuntu)?
@machetebadger audio is written directly to the user's pipewire socket by the qemu process, instead of being sent over Spice/VNC and then to the pipewire socket.

Vim Protip: change the background color to black after setting the colorscheme.
" ~/.vimrc
colorscheme ...
syntax on
highlight Normal ctermbg=black
highlight LineNr ctermbg=black
highlight NonText ctermbg=black
" ~/.gvimrc
highlight Normal guibg=black
highlight LineNr guibg=black
highlight NonText guibg=black
Trying out new Vim colorschemes. Curious what others use? I'm looking for a bright theme (aka not pastel) that goes well with a black background. Also want different colors for keywords vs names/identifiers; i.e. class and Foo should have different colors. Please no colorschemes that set gui=italic!
I like molokai, but it uses the same color for keywords and identifiers. I also like abstract, but it uses italics.
@hooly Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora).
The performance difference between Spice+VirtIO+OpenGL vs Spice+QXL is night and day. VirtIO+OpenGL was only able to achieve 30-50 FPS with glxgears, while QXL achieves ~500 FPS. Also, the boot splash graphics were higher quality under QXL than VirtIO. I also ran into weird tearing/redrawing issues testing LabWC under VirtIO.
If there's some kind of secret to configuring VirtIO+OpenGL, please share your libvirt config. Otherwise, I'm calling it: QXL > VirtIO+OpenGL.
Decided to switch back to QXL+Spice, but with Spice Listen Type = None, and with CPU pinning, and directly sending audio to pipewire. Seems to have fixed the slow 2d graphics, while maintaining smooth video playback, and eliminated any random intermittent freezes that would crash the viewer.
I enabled OpenGL acceleration under VirtIO and video playback is smooth, but now other 2d things have suddenly become very slow, such as switching between windows and closing large windows. Is this a known problem? Or do I need a faster GPU or CPU?
@jan ended up upgrading the whole system, enabling OpenGL with VirtIO on the VMs, and now video is smoother. Only noticing slight delay in audio. Will continue tuning the VM configs.
I seem to have hit some kind of weird bug with Ubuntu's autoinstall.yaml and Ubuntu Server 24.04. It refuses to create the user for identity:. I have to then define a legacy cloud-init user-data: hash under autoinstall:, except it refuses the set the password and instead leaves the user locked with a ! in /etc/shadow. I've tried lock-passwd: false, lock_passwd: false, and lock_passwd: False to no avail.
@psmt chpasswd doesn't appear to be working for setting the password in /etc/master.passwd, but plain_text_passwd does. Also packages doesn't seem to install the packages via pkg install.
Lazy FreeBSD: where is the documentation or example cloud-init user-data for creating users, setting passwords, adding SSH pubkeys, and installing packages specifically for a FreeBSD system?
I created a cloud-init .iso file containing my meta-data and user-data files, and dded the BASIC-CLOUDINIT FreeBSD image onto the device, and booted it, and it did set the hostname and created my users, but without any passwords or SSH keys...
@lilstevie @ragectl how about for ubuntu-server with maybe FDE (implying cryptsetup and LVM in the initrd)?
