2023-10-29system: vm: Include the cirrus driver in the initrd....This is Ludo's suggestion at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36069#26>, with an added guard against duplicates and a tweaked comment. * gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Add "cirrus" to the list of INITRD-MODULES. Co-authored-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Change-Id: I1a86286586eee0b8c39706544778c7911a86da33 Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
2023-10-01system: vm: Remove unused variable....This is a followup to 05a9d1f378e2e13e8f759be926ea368358afc27c, which removed its sole user. * gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove. (mapping->file-system): Add comment about “cache=loose”. Ludovic Courtès
2022-12-06system: vm: Non-volatile 'run-vm.sh' creates a CoW image....Previously, copying the image would consume a lot of space and was I/O-intensive, to the point that the marionette connection timeout of 20s could be reached when running tests like "docker-system". * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Pass 'format=' for each '-drive' option. (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)[copy-image]: New variable. [builder]: Use it when VOLATILE? is false. Ludovic Courtès
2022-01-14system: vm: Change the writable image name....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Change it. Mathieu Othacehe
2022-01-06system: vm: Restore default RAM size to 512MB....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Restore it. Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-23Remove VM generation dead-code....This code duplicates the (gnu system image) and (gnu build image) code. Using VM for image generation is not needed, not portable and really slow. Remove all the VM image generation code to make sure that only the image API is used. * gnu/build/vm.scm: Remove it. Move the qemu-command procedure to ... * gnu/build/marionette.scm: ... here. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it. * tests/modules.scm: Ditto. * gnu/tests/install.scm: Ditto. * gnu/system/vm.scm: Adapt it and remove expression->derivation-in-linux-vm, qemu-img, system-qemu-image/shared-store and system-docker-image procedures. * doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Adapt it. Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-23system: vm: Use the image API to generate QEMU images....Also add a volatile? argument to the virtual-machine record. When volatile? is true generate a QEMU script that mounts an overlay on top of a read only storage. When volatile? is false, use a persistent, read-write storage. * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Add a rw-image? argument to use a persistent storage. (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add a volatile? argument and honor it. Use the image API to build the QEMU image. (<virtual-machine>)[volatile?]: New field. (virtual-machine-compiler): Pass the volatile? argument to the system-qemu-image/shared-store-script procedure. Mathieu Othacehe

2021-12-03system: vm: Remove the vga argument....* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Remove the "-vga std" argument that is the default since QEMU 2.2. Suggested-by: Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name> Mathieu Othacehe
2021-12-03guix system vm: Add --no-graphic CLI argument....It configures QEMU to use the tty it was started in for IO (as opposed to opening a separate graphical window). This enables copy-pasting and scrollback. Exit QEMU with C-a x. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Also add the '-nographic' QEMU argument when called with #:graphic? #false. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg. (perform-action): Add and propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg. (show-help): Add --no-graphic CLI arg. (%options): Process the new --no-graphic CLI arg. (process-action): Feed in the CLI arg through the #:graphic? keyword arg. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Add example to combine guix system and invoking the vm start script into one command. Split the description of the various options into separate paragraphs. Add a paragraph to describe --no-graphic. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org> Attila Lendvai
2021-11-20vm: <virtual-machine> defaults to using 'qemu-minimal'....'qemu-minimal' is enough for system tests, which is the main (only?) use of <virtual-machine>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>)[qemu]: Default to QEMU-MINIMAL. Ludovic Courtès
