So I have at various times installed VMWare Player, VMWare Server, and VirtualBox. Host was Debian, guest was Windows, generally but not always XP Pro.
VB's Guest Additions' video driver doesn't work correctly with Adobe Premiere Elements. I have filed a bug at Oracle's site, but no action yet after five weeks. I tried kvm, but virt-manager reports "Unable to connect to libvirt" even though libvirtd is running. If I start kvm from the command line I get: WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/carlf/.cache/keyring-7jbXBL/pkcs11: No such file or directory error: failed to get domain '/mnt/data/kvm-images/xp2' error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown So anyone have another suggestion? VMWare doesn't appeal to me--I didn't like it much when I tried it years ago and it's very, very proprietary. Xen seems to be more difficult to set up than the above-mentioned and Windows support is not complete--although the implication of the Xen docs is that even without paravirtualization it wouldn't run *slower* than under VB. Any kvm experts who can help me debug? Anyone got a brilliant howto or FAQ to point me to? Should I file a bug against Debian's kvm/qemu? Any advice much appreciated. I'm currently running Testing on an AMD FX-8120-based system. Thanks. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
