I came upon Qemu as I was looking for a way to run Linux from Mac OS X. I'm a Java developer and need to test my software on Linux. I spend most of my time in Mac OS X and sometimes boots into Yellow Dog Linux for testing, but it would be very useful if I could just boot Linux directly without leaving Mac OS X. I downloaded and installed Qemu for Mac OS X. I was able to successfully boot the linux.img from linux-test-xxx.tar.gz. Now I'm trying to move up to something more complete, so following the screen shots seen on <www.freeoszoo.org/screenshots.php> that show Mandrake 10 running on Mac OS X, I downloaded mandrake-10.0-x86.tar.bz2 from <www.freeoszoo.org/download.php>, and am trying to run it. Just to make sure, I downloaded mandrake-10.0-x86.tar.bz2, which I decompressed with the tar tool to get mandrake-10.0-x86.img. Then I did this from a terminal window: qemu -hda mandrake-10.0-x86.img -boot c -m 128 -std-vga -user-net Which launches Linux and gets me to the login prompt. I type root, and the <www.freeoszoo.org/download.php> download page says it should boot directly into KDE, but all I get is the command line. How do I get a UI going?

OK I checked and the only thing that fails during boot is the interface eth0 fails to initialize. When I try startx or kde, XFree86 launches and then I get: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I don't know what is wrong, I just have a few ideas of where to look. First of all, what does X's log file say? It should be located at "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Second, if kdm or xdm is starting X in the background, you might want to disable that and be sure that the X you are starting manually is the only X running on the system. This way, you should get the stuff that goes into the log file dumped into your console as well. Maybe those X logs will say what's going wrong or at least where something odd happens. - Bartosz ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

But in recent versions (since 0.6.0, I guess), cirrus is the default anyway.
