Possibly silly question: Running qemu / kvm?
« on: January 25, 2016, 06:37:50 PM »
Hi,
I'm totally new to TinyCore and currently just playing around. I'd like to run VMs inside of Tinycore, so I've installed the qemu_x86 and kvm-3.16.6-tinycore as onboot. They show up in the onboot.lst, but when I try to invoke qemu from a terminal, it says "Not found". I don't have a lot of experience with this, but as far as I know I should be able to do that.
Also, does virt-manager exist for tinycore?
Thanks, and my apologies if I haven't read something properly, in which case I would appreciate pointers to the appropriate material.

Rafael

Hi, welcome to TC.
Try

qemu-system-i386 ...
or
Code: [Select]
qemu-system-x86_64 ...
Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

Thanks, that seems to work better.
However, both result in: "error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.11...can't be found".
In my usr/local/lib there is a libcrypto, but no libcrypt. I also read in some other threads that this happens when there is a newer version present. Do you have any tips on how to resolve this or what to check?
Thanks,

Rafael

It needs an update (libgcrypt's update broke qemu and might have broken curl). Please PM the maintainer.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Yeah, that was the conclusion from the reading I've done since my last post. It looks like the maintainer is bmarkus if I'm reading that right?
