KVM tutorial issue

hi hack and hack. I have no idea, sorry :(

Just read you "searxed it" and wanted to say that lately searx.me was getting very slow for me so I tested some other instances of searx and finally set for searx.info.
The server is in Switzerland and the speed is amazing!! The website opens in 0.001 seconds, the search output is immediate and I can really tell the difference (especially when image searching).
Incredibly fast search engine :)

Thanks, the .info is also a bit faster for me.

I also tried gnome-boxes but I had a kernel panic. Second one in a few days, the first one for another reason,
but also related to some sort of activity overload.
It's probably related to my HDD space (need to free some).

I'll try again.


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp (was on manual before)
#
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
# bridge_stp off
# bridge_fd 0
# bridge_maxwait 0

I've made a small change (manual to dhcp). But still no changes.

also I just realized I wasn't plugged through ethernet, but Wifi...
But I've already tried "all" instead of "eth0" on "bridge_ports".

I also tried wlan0 instead, and added wlan0=wlan0 to ifstate.

still no changes, no br0 according to ifconfig.

still digging. Any hint welcomed.
I also checked the man page for bridge-utils-interfaces.
I tried to uncomment the 3 lines in the configuration, but no effect.

I don't even know what a bridge is (nor why it's needed here), but I know it's not up and running.

EDIT:

It's probably because I'm not connected with ethernet. I'd need to reboot and be connected.

But I don't want to try it.
I'd rather try and bridge through wlan0.

But as you can see, I don't have info about wifi in my config file, yet I receive the signal. Weird. Is that normal?

Next step is to try to put my wifi data in that file, restart and try again.

That virtualization document needs some work.

this one looks more straightforward (no network interfaces config).

Unfortunately I can't try it right now since my wifi doesn't work anymore. Hopefully it's just a software issue related to me messing with the config.
It's too bad because it looks like a great replacement to Virtualbox.

Now that I have my minimal install back, I'll attempt to make either KVM or Gnome boxes work when I have some time.

Maybe the tutorial was intended to a normal Trisquel install, but even then I doubt it, because network-manager would likely conflict with manual configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. I will personally start from a very basic wpa-supplicat configuration. When I can make it work, I'll be able to test it on a virtualized normal install.

Next on the line is Jitsi (and pidgin, not as straightforward as I thought with its xmmp account stuff.).

Side note: I really wish to simplify the access to those great programs, a la Apple (as much as possible, obviously without their privacy and proprietary policies).
I know that my netinstall would be more complex to reproduce as it is, but maybe an installation script can do the job. Synaptic saving ability can be used also.
But wouldn't that be awesome to have those great services available nearly out of the box (for normal and netinstall)?
If all it takes is an installation script (that can be easily adapted), that would be really great).
