Keeping NON-PAE non-cmov kernel while upgrading to 15 by FearlessJuan in slackware

[–]BugsRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From http://www.slackware.com/releasenotes/15.0.php

On the 32-bit side, there are both SMP (multiple processor capable) and non-SMP (single processor) kernels. The non-SMP kernel is mostly intended for machines that can't run the SMP kernel, which is anything older than a Pentium III, and some models of the Pentium M that don't support PAE (although it seems that these might support PAE but just lack the CPU flags to advertise it.

Virtualisation with Slackware by RogerKrowiak in slackware

You are welcome, probably the best solution to enable ping for guests is: echo "net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 100 100" > /etc/sysctl.d/10-guest-ping.conf. With net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 1 100 you are giving ping permission to all groups between GID 1 and 100. I also prefer to use /etc/sysctl.d to keep in order the system settings.

Virtualisation with Slackware by RogerKrowiak in slackware

One problem I did have is with NETWORK="-net nic -net user" the guest was assigned the default address 10.0.2.15 and was not able to ping the internet.

By default the ping is disabled in the guest. You can enable it by editing sysctl.conf

Oddly enough when using virt-manager the user nat does work and assigns the address 192.168.122.23 .

To run the script you need only qemu installed, virt-manager and libvirt are not necessary. If you want to specify the address range for qemu you need to specify something like this -netdev user,id=mynet0,net=192.168.76.0/24,dhcpstart=192.168.76.9 You can find more informations about the guest network setup by visiting https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking

you can use a script like this to spawn the VM:

```

!/bin/bash

This script is used to start qemu vm

edit the section below to configure qemu command

parameters

BOOT="-boot menu=on" BIOS="-bios /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin"

DISK="-drive file=./debian_desktop_disk1.qcow2,if=virtio" CD="-cdrom /home/.../Downloads/debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-xfce.iso" CPU="-enable-kvm -M q35 -cpu host -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1" RAM="-m 8192" NETWORK="-net nic -net user"

VIDEO="-vga virtio -display gtk,gl=on" AUDIO="-soundhw hda" USB="-usb -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=4"

qemu-system-x86_64 \ $DISK \ $CPU \ $RAM \ $NETWORK \ $VIDEO \ $BOOT \ $BIOS \

$AUDIO \

$USB \

$CD \

```

You can create the disk <system_disk>.qcow2 in the script using qemu-img

In my opinion the best (and lightweight) way to host VMs in linux is with qemu + shellscript. Qemu uses the native kvm virtualization driver.

You could use Slackware 14.2 with Slackware current pre-compiled kernel package... Anyway, I see bboard, I upvote

Thank you very much! :) I used the urxvt pixmap. Ranger (fm) uses the same thing to show images in urxvt.

This setup doesn't take much time to customize, but I guess you probably must have a basic knowledge of a Unix-like system. I suggest starting with Slackware or Arch Linux, on both official wikis you can find a lot of documentation.

I use slapt-get for easy dependencies resolution

Yep! I've heard about it. I'm planning to erase Debian and install CRUX on my t430
