4 - i can't mount usb flashdrive being user. when i try i just recibe the message...

I had the same problem with usb devices. Thunar showed me the same message, I solved it by creating the file udisks.pkla within the /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ directory.

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/udisks.pkla

org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock is only necessary for encrypted devices. As you can see, you should use udisks2, not udisks

Is this OK?

I think it's no OK. Where did you download devuan-devs.gpg file? I've downloaded it from Leaseweb mirror.. This is the output when import the key:

And when I check the SHA256SUMS.asc file I get this:

I run QEMU in a virtual machine to test it. I do not install new packages on my hard drive until I know what they can do.

Mmm... good one. wink

I think I am going to use QEMU without virt-manager after all. Thank you!

and you use a mirror located on the other side of the pond in Netherlands

Jajaja, it's true. tongue

I am testing qemu in VirtualBox and I get the following error when I run your command:

And why are you running QEMU in a virtual machine? you don't have a gnu/linux distro running in your host machine?

Where did you extract the qcow2.xz archive by the way?

I always make a folder for every virtual machine. Inside, I put the iso file and the hard disk image created with the command qemu-img create. Then, I just run the command and that's all.

What kind of desktop file?

If you have used any Windows version you know what is a direct link, right? Well, a desktop file works in the same way. So, with a desktop file you don't have to open a terminal and write the command, just double click and that's all. wink

For example, this is my desktop file of my Windows XP virtual machine:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Windows XP - QEMU
Exec=qemu-system-i386 -m 1G -enable-kvm -cpu host -localtime -net none -hda /home/clint/Escritorio/WXP/xp_hdd.img -usbdevice tablet -vga std -drive file=/home/clint/Escritorio/WXP/usb_memory.img
Icon=/home/clint/Imágenes/Avatares_íconos_etc/ICON_windows_xp.png
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=Máquina virtual Windows XP SP3
Terminal=false

You can get more info about desktop files here https://developer.gnome.org/integration … es.html.en

@HextorBRX

Jeje, no... I'm mexican big_smile

In my case I just had to install QEMU and run the command above, without sudo modprobe kvm-intel. Regards wink

P. D. You can create a desktop file to run your virtual machine without virt-manager. wink

I've downloaded the virtual image devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_qemu.qcow2.xz from leaseweb mirror, decompressed it with xz command and then, I've launched QEMU with this options:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G -enable-kvm -cpu host -localtime -hda devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_qemu.qcow2

And everything works. I hope you find it useful. Regards.

P. D. I apologize for my bad English. wink
