jloc0#qemu got added to #slackware current today. Didn’t see that one coming at all. Interesting times in the land of slack!
Mark@thesaigoneer heh i mean lxc is already there. You can run all the slack you want already. 🤷♂️😂
I’m sure that will make some people plenty happy though. It’s been a glaring omission for some time, glad to see it included.
@jloc0 There's been a couple of interesting moves indeed, like also labwc in the core etc. In that sense Slackware stays a hidden gem, and we profit of that 🥳
@thesaigoneer well labwc was specifically for the xfce Wayland session, since initially that was going to be how it worked. Now we have xfwl4 on the way, so it’ll be negated but I doubt it would be removed at this point. Nice to see at least one Wayland related thing added. Maybe some day there will be more!
モスケ^^ 🌸🐈🔥🐴@jloc0 whoa.
Mistress Remilia@jloc0 well at least I don't have to build it from source now

r1w1s1Great to see this in -current!
However, if you try to use user-mode networking (-nic user) for basic VM internet access and port forwarding, you’ll run into:
"network backend 'user' is not compiled into this binary"
It looks like libslirp isn’t included in the build. I had to recompile QEMU with --enable-slirp to get it working.
Hopefully Patrick will consider adding libslirp alongside vde2, dtc, and virglrenderer in the future.

@r1w1s1 yeah I did think the choices were a bit off with that missing and saw users already rebuilding their own to add things. Hopefully it’s addressed before long. It’d be great if it were more user-friendly in that area out of the box!
Some users have already addressed this in the post.

As for the other features, I don’t really use them, I usually just spin up the VM and access it via SSH, so all I really need is libslirp (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/libraries/libslirp/?search=libslirp).
