I tried the solution here but the GUI screen did not appear. Only login screen appears

[Fuseteam]

actually did you run sudo snap connect utqemu:kvm?

[tx8r]

The command worked. But I still get qemu virgl error.
qemu-virgil -enable-kvm -m 2G -device virtio-vga,virgl=on -display sdl,gl=on -netdev user,id=ethernet.0,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -device rtl8139,netdev=ethernet.0 ~/snap/utqemu/common/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img
This command worked but Ubuntu touch GUI didn't appear

[Fuseteam]

guess that's related to #7 once that's fixed that would no longer be an issue
i have the same problem and i think it may be related to the pull request i linked there
the issue with kvm however is due to the connection not being autoconnected for obvious reasons

[tx8r]

The problem is solved. But the login screen still appears. I will open a new issue

[Fuseteam]

@tx8r appearently the latest image is broken
this image is reported to be working: https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-generic-amd64/603/artifact/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img.xz
to use it you'll need to extract it with xz -v /path/to/downloaded/image and then run with the command mentioned in #7

[tx8r]

You mean unxz /path/to/downloaded/image :)
I tried run on qemu but qemu crashed. Now I'm try on virtualbox. Thanks for image link.

[tx8r]

virtualbox didn't work. qemu output this error.

gl_version 45 - core profile enabled
X Error:  GLXBadContext
  Request Major code 152 (GLX)
  Request Minor code 4 ()
  Error Serial #96339
  Current Serial #96340

I searched on the internet and I think it has something to do with kvm.

[Fuseteam]

the qemu-virgil command for #7 worked for me fwiw so

qemu-virgil -enable-kvm -m 2G -device virtio-vga,virgl=on -display sdl,gl=on -netdev user,id=ethernet.0,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -device rtl8139,netdev=ethernet.0 ~/path/to/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img

You mean unxz /path/to/downloaded/image :)

yeah true 😂

[tx8r]

@Fuseteam What is your distro?
qemu-virgil -enable-kvm -m 2G -device virtio-vga,virgl=on -display sdl,gl=on -netdev user,id=ethernet.0,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -device rtl8139,netdev=ethernet.0 ~/path/to/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img
This command doesn't work for me

[Fuseteam]

i'm on ubuntu, what error are you getting from that?

[tx8r]

virtualbox didn't work. qemu output this error.

gl_version 45 - core profile enabled
X Error:  GLXBadContext

  Request Minor code 4 ()

This error. I am trying to install qemu from another source.

[Fuseteam]

that from virtualbox right? but what error are you getting from qemu-virgil?

[tx8r]

that from virtualbox right? but what error are you getting from qemu-virgil?

No. This error from qemu. Virtualbox just crashed.

[tx8r]

virtualbox didn't work. qemu output this error.

:]

[Fuseteam]

ooooops i can't read, hmmmm
i was also testing

qemu-system-x86_64-spice -enable-kvm -m 2G -device virtio-vga,virgl=on -display sdl,gl=on -netdev user,id=ethernet.0,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -device rtl8139,netdev=ethernet.0 ~/path/to/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img

as well but unlike virgil is get stuck with booting the network daemons

I deleted the img file for re-download but this link is now broken. I downloaded the latest successful build.
build list: https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-generic-amd64/

[Fuseteam]

i think the latest build is broken, that's the build utqemu downloads automatically
last i heard #610 was working but #613 was broken now sure about the state of #611 and #612

[tx8r]

i think the latest build is broken, that's the build utqemu downloads automatically

Yeah. Doesn't work. :( It's too early to choose the right image. I'm on it

https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-generic-amd64/610/artifact/ubuntu-touch-mainline-generic-amd64.img.xz is this now set to be kept forever or, you know, until the newest image is fixed

I think the file will be kept forever. I found successful builds of 2019.

Can I suggest, as this is an issue tracker, if the original issue is resolved, to not start a long discussion inside here and move to the forum? Thanks!
