Trying out COSMIC on virtual machine

Long story short, it is pretty solid as an alpha release! I would have installed it on bare metal, if I have another computer.

If you are installing on 22.04, this post still valid, https://lemm.ee/post/25474700

if you are installing the official 24.04 Alpha iso, simply select to use QXL graphic on vm setup. no other changes needed in the OS level.

@mmstick, any plan to support virtio graphic?

Try COSMIC DE apps on virtual machine

  1. install virt-manager

  2. create a vm pop-os

  3. start the vm

  4. sudo apt install cosmic-session

  5. sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

  6. ... set .. WaylandEnable=true

  7. reboot

  8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “Pop on Wayland" (edit: if you want COSMIC DE to work too, see update below) (edit2: if you can't see the gear wheel, see update2 below)

.

update:

there are some settings on the virt-manager to make COSMIC DE works.

if you don't need to run COSMIC DE, can ignore the following

  • Display Spice : Type = Spice server, Listen type = none, uncheck password / opengl
  • Video : use QXL (instead of default Virtio)

new step 8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “COSMIC"

.

update2:

  • sudo nano /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

  • Goto the line that reads LABEL="gdm_prefer_xorg"

  • .. commend out the next line .. #RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon PreferredDisplayServer xorg"

  • Goto the the line that reads LABEL="gdm_disable_wayland"

  • .. commend out the next line .. #RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"

  • sudo systemctl restart gdm.service

Graphical corruption

Sometimes when resuming from sleep, or when playing a fullscreen video, my screen will fill with white video blocks.

rebooting will fix the problem (until it appears again).

$ uname -r
6.6.6-76060606-generic

Similar to this: https://i.bke.ro/selif/artifacts.mp4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xt2e9Lt2gg

and issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2735

One solution is to add amdgpu.sg_display=0

sudo kernelstub -a "amdgpu.sg_display=0"
