No problem. Thanks for quick fix. Maybe pinned comment about this issue would help. Something like: If there are any problems with missing dependencies install qemu-...

Sorry about that @wioo I've rolled it back to qemu.

This is a problem that started when the qemu package got split back in May. I've been receiving emails from people not being able to use quickemu because they choose the wrong dependency for qemu.

So I thought I'd change it to qemu-desktop, but that is of course also not right as you pointed out. Thanks :)

New dependency qemu-desktop is in conflict with qemu-full. Whats wrong with just qemu?

I just wanted to set up a macos monterey and here's the output I'm getting:


$ quickemu --vm macos-monterey.conf

             If you are unable to run macOS or Windows VMs then run the above 👆
             This will enable ignoring of unhandled MSRs until you reboot the host.
             You can make this change permenant by running: 'quickemu --ignore-msrs-always'

Looks like qemu-ui-sdl is required here. All works fine after installing it.

Thanks @ato2

I hadn't noticed that they had created the man pages. I've included them in the package now.

Dear Maintainer please add manual pages install: + install -Dm644 docs/quickget.1 $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/quickget.1 + install -Dm644 docs/quickemu.1 $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/quickemu.1 + install -Dm644 docs/quickemu_conf.1 $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/quickemu_conf.1

@sgnh, just a big "thank you" for all your immediate updates!! Cheers!

sgnh commented on 2022-08-03 18:05 (UTC)

Thanks, @progandy, and @sekret. I've added it as a dependency now.

sekret commented on 2022-08-03 10:13 (UTC)

Confirmed, without xdg-user-dirs the virtual machine doesn't start. Please add it to the dependencies.

progandy commented on 2022-06-09 13:52 (UTC)

xdg-user-dirs is required for the shared directory support.
