[solved] installing qemu on Porteus (missing lib')?

Hi all!
I need qemu to do some testing (mostly test a multiboot USB pen drive). I went with
# usm -g qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce.txz
Code: Select all
Processing: qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce.txz
<SNIP SNIP>
WARNING: unresolved dependencies remain.
libfdt.so.1
<SNIP SNIP>
Updating shared library links: /sbin/ldconfig
/tmp/usm/qemu-2.4.0-i486-bundle.xzm is ready.
As expected,
$ qemu-system-{i486,x86_64} [USB pen drive|architect-2015.11.19-64bit.iso]
Code: Select all
qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libfdt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've read the FAQ and
[SOLVED] missing libgomp.so.1 ,
[Solved] How can I check which module contains a file? ,
Studioware installs in Porteus and
this (brokenmann recalls how to search for a *missing* lib) (and this old
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?t=1736&p=11805)
Then installed slackyd and updated its db.
But I'm still unable to launch `qemu`
# usm -s libfdt.so
Code: Select all
-----------------------------
Are you searching for a library file?
libfdt.so, it seems a library.
Would you like to find the package for it? [y/n]
no package found for: libfdt.so
# slackyd -d qemu
Code: Select all
Checking qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce: done.
Found 1 missing dependencies:
libfdt.so.1 required by:
--> Package: qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce (/usr/bin/qemu-system-arm)
--> Package: qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce (/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64)
--> Package: qemu-2.4.0-i486-1ponce (/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386)
Searching libfdt.so.1: nothing found.
Nothing to do.
EDIT: Ah OK. I first put this in the Tutorial forum under title "How to deal with a missing library?" as a way to get a errrr tutorial to learn on how to do that. I bet the new title will be straighter now it's been moved in the Newbies fofo'.
How do you install Qemu on Porteus?

Anyone please?
Actually I'm away from my PC now and it would be great to test usb pen drives from Porteus rather than rebooting nn times; The box I use was super low profile even when it was on sale 6 years ago ;}

Yeah .. strange case. Can't find anything for slackware.
http://pkgs.org/opensuse-13.1/opensuse- ... 6.rpm.html
Download the binary here. Convert it to xzm:
rpm2xzm libfdt1-1.4.0-2.1.2.i586.rpm
Activate it:
activate libfdt1-1.4.0-2.1.2.i586.xzm
You should be good to go.

@Bogomips you killed me
with joy
So fu**in great, maaan debuging a heavy and full Syslinux multiboot USB pen drive from an Atom Z520 1 gig RAM powered Porteus GNU Linux, yeees !
Took me a couple hours (+ the time to reupload as I tested a new nice and kiss
open source images sharing co-service that must be ten times lighter than imgur but the images are too big for this forum's rules). Below you can see (after the Architect ISO test) one the error resisting a bit then slapped down without a single reboot.
Ah! Does Imgur neither provide the thumbnails?? jeez!
EDIT: OK, finaly found the trick.
@brokenmann, yeap, same! Unless Qemu is one of these new closed source garage-developped software-- surprise.
Solved with the help of Bogomips , a good old trustfull rpm and Porteus creazy lightness and modularity!

This isn't
too old of a post to bump, I hope (even though it is marked as solved). From what I can tell, I got qemu-kvm properly installed. Now, I'm trying to get virt-manager working. I followed the following to install the dependencies of virt-manager:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... 175512382/
However, when trying to launch virt-manager from a root prompt, I get:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 29, in <module>
import gi
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from pkgutil import extend_path
ImportError: cannot import name extend_path
I'm usually pretty savvy with the Googles, but I'm not having much luck, here. Anyone have a thought?

^ Have had problems with python import it's a whole new kettle of fish
Code: Select all
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the
interpreter, you can type "help(object)". Executing "help('string')"
has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt
Try typing
Let us know if you succeed.
Good Luck!
P.S. Necro bumping is not frowned upon here, when it seems logical to do so.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't assume you want the whole output of that other than to know that it does indeed spit out the help menu? python -V yields: Python 2.7.5.
PS, I'm largely a Python noob, so please forgive me for that - I'm sure the problem has more to do with Python than with Porteus.

. . . where'd you go, Bogomips?

^ Nowhere, actually. Last time I followed the leads and ended up at the Python Software Foundation in the US of A. Could give you python3 to try, if you feel like it. For instance, youtube-dl, which took the python you have, I now feed with python3.

Well, now - this is interesting. Yesterday, the flash drive that I planned to use for permanent install came in the mail. I ran the Porteus installer and copied the qemu and virt-manager modules to the /porteus/modules folder on the new drive. With the modules loaded at boot, I got a different error that complained about pycurl, so I downloaded and activated it. That error is gone, but now I'm getting:
Typelib file for namespace 'Pango', version '1.0' not found: Could not open display: :0.0
I tried downloading SDL_Pango and perl-pango, but that's not working. I keep finding this forum post suggesting that gir1.2-pango-1.0 should be reinstalled:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/455018/p ... untu-14-04
I don't see that Porteus has a gir1.2-pango-1.0 package, though.

The typelib and gir files were removed for all packages. Reinstall pango.

Alright, so, reloading the typelibs got virt-manager to load. I had to load a few more things (I will document once I get everything working). The final issue I'm having is with the spice protocol. It is complaining:
libvirtError: unsupported configuration: spice graphics are not supported with this QEMU
I have all the QEMU modules available in the repositories loaded (they were dependencies and required, anyway). Any thoughts?

Just wondering if anyone had some followup thoughts on this. Do I need to load a different kernel, is spice missing from the QEMU in the repos, something else . . . ?
