 ruru | still something worth to keep in mind, before users start to cry 'Uhhh... OM crashing... booo... wth!' 😝 | 10:09:30 |
 remx | you guys dont like Qemu ? | 10:26:59 |
| ruru | yes devs and advanced users do | 10:30:15 |
| ruru | common users find it more difficult bc of no GUI | 10:30:41 |

common users find it more difficult bc of no GUI You can simply use Gnome Boxes or virtmanager gui | 10:56:52 |
| ruru | André Kaiser you should tell it to the [common] users and "reviewers" - ppl keep using their preferred sw | 11:00:51 |
| ruru | btw I was replying to remx question | 11:01:47 |
| ruru |
you guys dont like Qemu ?
| 11:02:37 |
| ruru | devs yes, common users probably not | 11:02:56 |
| remx | me too, i hate command lines of three kilometers ... I usually use aur/aqemu | 11:03:38 |
| ruru | and I'm caring of common users mostly | 11:03:50 |
| remx | yes virt manager is nice too once you "understand it" | 11:04:07 |
| remx | in many distros they are a pain, because of Rights issues, if that is setup automatically, it should be OutOfTheBox up thing | 11:05:27 |
 Paolo | Q,uickget and quickemu are very interessing but dont support openmandriva | 11:00:19 |
| ruru | alternative is also vmware but OM devs don't like proprietary things so they tend to not 'care' about it that much | 11:06:43 |
| remx | I forgot if vbox is just free or openSource and free | 11:08:21 |
| ruru | personally I tend to have a bit different POV, to be pragmatic, but I'm not a dev and I prefer to follow the troops here :P | 11:08:49 |
| remx | my opinion, vmware made it so seemless that you loose the security benefits of running a VM ... I mean in a way, the VM can alter the host ... | 11:09:36 |
| ruru | idk -- just speaking of alternatives to vbox users can have and what it seems to use mainly looking at reviews (YT and such) | 11:11:55 |

I forgot if vbox is just free or openSource and free afaik it's OS otherwise it could not be in main repo | 11:14:55 |

Q,uickget and quickemu are very interessing but dont support openmandriva That should be fixable | 13:06:34 |
| berolinux | If I ever have a lot of spare time (not that I expect that to happen anytime soon, unfortunately), it shouldn't be too hard to build a VBox-like UI for qemu | 13:07:13 |
| berolinux | Unfortunately I'm already a little overloaded | 13:07:24 |
 mandian | imo virt-manager really fine. Just remented your user should be in libvirt groupt and the path of iso and VMs shoutl be readable and writable by libvirt-qemu user. Usually I set them with
chmod 770 libvirt-qemu:libvirt
so I have full access with my user too. | 13:28:25 |
 ben79 | Non-technical users and reviewers don't use Qemu. We have to test in VirtualBox, not doing so results in disastrous reviews and to many forum problems. It is hard to estimate but I guess 30% or more OMLx users are using it in VirtualBox. | 14:49:27 |

If I ever have a lot of spare time (not that I expect that to happen anytime soon, unfortunately), it shouldn't be too hard to build a VBox-like UI for qemu Sounds like a wonderful idea/goal to me. I am not sure if it solves the problem of all the users and reviewers that use VBox. | 14:50:59 |
| ben79 | But VBox can be a pill or some other 4 letter word... | 14:51:53 |
