Virtual Machine?
Hey guys, I'm really sorry if this doesn't belong here but I really need help and would so much appreciate it.
Bazzite has been working great for me, I love it. Using it on my Desktop PC and will daily drive it, even if I can't fix this problem.
I'm in serious need of running a virtual machine with Windows XP on it. So far I've tried installing virtualbox rpm through boxbuddy, wont work. I've tried building qemu from the command line, wont work.
I've never had an immutable OS before and perhaps that's why I'm not succeeding. There's virt-manager in the discovery store but I can't get it to work. Probably due to permissions.
By running a virtual machine with XP I can enjoy lots of nostalgia from my younger days which is a necessity for me. Is there any solution for me?
Thanks alot for everything you do!

ujust setup-virtualization
should give you some options to mess with, setting it up should just workWow that was fast. I've gotten further but there's some permission issue I can't get past.
Unable to complete install: 'can't connect to virtlogd: Unable to open file: /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm1.log: Permission denied'
hmmm weird
I've given virt-manager all necessary permissions through flatseal, and tried to change storage folder of my vm to a folder within my home folder. Still permission issues.
File "/app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4545, in createXML
raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Cannot access storage file '/home/robin/VirtualXP/vm1.qcow2' (as uid:107, gid:107): Permission denied**
I'm having the same issue.
@Vamoos
IIRC
recent issue
Am I being a total noob expecting it to have qemu or something installed along with it?
Its you.
File -> add connection -> ok
Reading the message on the screen usually helps too
Literally says the same
Indeed it does. You have been a most excellent guide, and I shall try and not let my impatience get the better of me in the future.
