utqemu's Issues

Script does not detect qemu-virgil

Start fails with:

$ utqemu start
WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/home/jonatan/snap/utqemu/common/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img' and probing guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
qemu-system-x86_64: -device virtio-vga,virgl=on: Property '.virgl' not found

Any ideas?

License?

At the moment, this repo isn’t technically FOSS because there’s no license.

Limbo PC emu?

I know this will not push through since this is related on Android not on Ubuntu touch . But will request anyway if we can run Ubuntu touch emu inside limbo arm64 emulator of android . Thanks

cannot launch kvm

I just installed it on manjaro linux and got this error:

WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/home/MYUSERDIRECTORY/snap/utqemu/common/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
qemu-system-x86_64: -device virtio-vga,virgl=on: Property '.virgl' not found

anything I can do?

Could not access KVM kernel module

After applying #4 I hit the next issue trying to start utqemu:

WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/home/jonatan/snap/utqemu/common/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img' and probing guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
Could not access KVM kernel module: Operation not permitted
qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Operation not permitted

Adding myself to group kvm did not help. sudo chmod 666 /dev/kvm didn't solve the issue as well. No errors in journalctl meanwhile.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04

utq command not found after snap install utqemu --edge

running utq command after installing utqemu snap displays error "Command utq not found".
"sudo find / --name utq.sh" commands finds the utq.sh file under the location /snap/utqemu/x1/usr/bin/.
Maybe we to create a symbolic link at location /snap/bin?Please note: utqemu is present in /snap/utqemu/x1/usr/bin folder.
Should we use utqemu start command instead of utq?In that case the readme file has to be updated.

Stuck at 'Starting virtual private network daemon(s)' on boot

I tried booting UT using utqemu start, qemu-system-x86_64, qemu-virgil (unconfined) or GUI-wise through virt-manager but everytime it gets stuck at Starting virtual private network daemon(s) when booting.

The issue also was raised here: #7 (comment)

OS: ElementaryOS (based on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS)

xz: Command not found

Creating the image fails with

/snap/utqemu/9/usr/bin/utq.sh: line 71: xz: command not found

even though xz is installed on my system. Maybe it needs to be shipped with the snap?

qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize KVM: Operation not permitted

I get this error when I download and run the packages.
