The qemu-img command should be able to convert disk images between various formats:Paul.. wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2019 9:13 am Overall, what is the compatibility with .vbox files? Can KVM or gnome-boxes read them, or is there a significant conversion process required?
For gnome-boxes guests the spice-vdagent package is needed for shared clipboards and automatic resizing of the guest desktop to fit the display window and spice-webdavd is needed for shared folders.alamahant wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2019 9:28 am In KVM you do NOT need to explicitly add any packages on the guests.It works out of the box.
I am unaware if this is the case also in gnome-boxes.
Thanks, will give it a try!Head_on_a_Stick wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2019 9:10 am @{Buck Fankers}: yes, that's right. Just gnome-boxes and the spice packages should do it. MX-19 already has the spice-vdagent package (and I recently requested that they add spice-webdavd).
Thank you for all the info!alamahant wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2019 9:35 am Buck Fankers
Yes that is correct.
""usermod -aG libvirt $USER"
This I think allows the non root user to use Virtual Manager from the desktop icon and connect to libvirt.
BUT you can also run it from a terminal like this
"sudo virt-manager"
In Virtual Manager you do NOT need to explicitly add any packages on the guests.It works out of the box.

Ah, now I've found a package gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0Head_on_a_Stick wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2019 7:15 am I think the package is actually called gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0
