Hi,
I've been running Qubes for a few years now and I'd like to give
Spectrum a try, as I've been having some hardware and performance
problems with Qubes. Is there some up-to-date guide I can follow? I
found https://alyssa.is/using-virtio-wl/#demo and was able to see the
weston terminal. I also tried updating to the latest commit and was
able to get a nested wayfire window with:
nix-build . -A spectrumPackages && ./result-3/bin/spectrum-vm
(I'm fairly new to Nix, so not sure if this is the right way to do things)
I managed to change the keyboard layout, mount a tmpfs for home, and
increase the memory enough to start firefox, but I haven't managed to
get much further. Things I tried so far:
- I tried replacing wayfire with weston-terminal, to avoid the nested
session. But sommelier segfaults when I do that.
- I tried adding `--shared-dir /tmp/ff:ff:type=9p` to share a host
directory. Then `mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L ff /tmp`
in the VM seemed to work, but `ls /tmp` crashed the VM.
- I tried using `-d /dev/mapper/disk` to share an LVM partition, but
`mount -t ext4 /dev/vdb /tmp` refused to mount it.
- I tried enabling networking with `--host_ip 10.0.0.1`, etc, but it
said it couldn't create a tap device. I guess it needs more
privileges.
Ideally, I'd like to run a VM with each of my old Qubes filesystems,
to get back to where I was with my Qubes setup, before investigating
new spectrum stuff (e.g. one app per VM). Do you have any advice on
this? I see these lists are a bit quiet - I hope someone is still
working on this because it sounds great :-)
Thanks!
