This problem was mainly pointed out by @ricklinux while testing virt-manager with virtio with 3D acceleration. I tested it out and it seems to happen with eos live and installed in the VM.
The issue is this when virt-manager has graphical settings set like below.
Display Spice.
Video.
We can load into eos graphical environment. This happens with live environment and with an installed system. With the installed version (used the offline install) everything works until lightdm. After logging in everything goes blank only the correct cursor can be seen.
Then I tested the same settings with Arco Linux which worked.
We can drop into ttl and work there. I decided to post it here so someone with more knowledge can shed some light on this matter and if this is eos issue then probably you guys can fix it. I’ll try another environment other than XFCE to see if that’s loves it.
I just installed eos BSPWM edition and it worked with 34 enabled. I’m testing KDE as we speak to see if this is got to do with the compositor. Because BSPWM has picom.
If KDE works I will check with Arco Linux XFCE. To see if it’s caused by XFCE generally or not.
It’s an upstream issue that would eventually get fixed. Until then people would benefit from a workaround so what would be the harm of documenting one.
People who need to know knows, and you don’t have to tell me what I need to or not. I can decide for myself if I want to report or not.
I wanted to find what was happening with virt and Xfce I did. Wanted to find a way around I did. Wanted to let someone else who could benefit from it I’m going to do.
Fixing the issue will be done in time because they think this is not a major bug. Me posting the same issue won’t be going to force anything. Now you even know the issue so do some testing and report the issue if your so hung up on me not reporting.
The thread was opened by me to inform others it was not basically asking for a solution. Then I myself found a workaround that was enough for me to close the thread.
I won’t be creating any bug reports and that is where I stand. If you want go ahead and do it yourself without telling me what to do. Have a nivce day, I’m done talking about this.
No, but it would tell them that there is a bug. Did you read the text I quoted?
OK, that’s your choice. Of course, you’re the one who found the bug and can replicate the bug so you’re in an ideal place to report the bug, but if you’d prefer to do something completely different then you’re free to do so.
