Hi all,

Yesterday I've tried to send a new post but as beed marked as spam, here I'll try again, with different words...

I've tried to install Trisquel GNU/Linux with qemu, everything goes fine till to end.

* First point: I'm impressed for the wonderful job you have done!

After the login, in the window manager (I've tried all the one of the Mini), any windows I open it slide down out of the screen, I can do nothing then just looking at my poor falling windows.

I suspect could be the touch-pad of the laptop whom hosts the VM, but I have no idea of how to find it out and hot to fix the issue.

Do you have any advices?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Antenore

Qemu is virtualization software right? Try a liveCD. I have never heard of this problem. You are right it might possibly be because of qemu. If it happens in the liveCD please submit a bug report.

If you continue to have problems with QEMU, then I would suggest VirtualBox OSE. The OSE version is free software, and is in Trisquel's repositories, as well as Fedora/Red Hat.

If your host system is MS Windows, see http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5165&start=15#p146953 .

Hi all and thanks for the answers.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree.

VirtualBox development is now managed by Oracle, so I just don't want to have on my PCs, Servers and even Virtual Machines anything that has been touched by this Evil company.

Qemu is Free Software and LKVM is part of the GNU/Linux Kernel.

I'm trying the Net Install one more time with a bit different setup and then I'll try the live CD.

I'm not using Windo$, but Linux to produce several USB keys with qemu for Linux and windows.

The goal is to distribute these keys around during Free Software events and let's people try Free Software on their PC (without reboot and or install).

I have chosen your distro because seems to me it's the only one that have a working out of the box installer.

Update.

I've solved the problem, still using qemu, just adding an xorg.conf using the vesa drivers, this avoid xorg to perform any automatic configuration.

I've used this http://ongardie.net/blog/qemu-xorg/ configuration in the case you need.

As I don't speak Spanish, can anyone answer also to this post http://trisquel.info/en/node/392

Same issue... Same fix

Thanks a lot again
