Re: GUI-Login on bookworm-VM in a cloud



Hello,

> What video device does your VM use?  Maybe it uses real hardware, or does it use a virtual device like QLX or Virtio?  I have been using virtio. I also tried QLX and it works.

It is the qemu vga driver. I already tried qemu virtio and qemu vmware
drivers, they have the same problem as the vga driver: No sddm GUI
login screen.

Normally, I also do not do that. As I wrote, the GUI login was shown in
a bullseye VM (no packages from other origins), but it is not shown in
a bookworm VM (no packages from other origins). So, I upgraded a
bullseye VM step by step to find out where exactly the problem is and I
can tell now, that before upgrading   

libglx-mesa0 libx11-xcb1 libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri libdrm-common
libglapi-mesa libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm2 libegl-mesa0 libx11-6
libwayland-client0

The same result for me after directly installing bookworm with virt-
manager. Obviously, there is a significant difference between a VM in
OpenNebula and a VM with the same software in virt-manager ...
