Lenovo test laptop

Kept installing the Lenovo laptop. For some reason, I had some trouble with the pin code for the touchpad.

What I read online about dual-booting Linux with Windows 10 makes it look a bit more complicated than it should thanks to things like Restricted Boot.

NVIDIA streaming

More code reviews. Still not "up" regarding development.

Bugs

Filed Red Hat Bugzilla 1496766.

Reviewed and commented on Red Hat Bugzilla 1496757.

macOS installation

Installed XQuartz with brew cask install xquartz. That's the reason I did not get ssh -Y working Duh.

Still does not work. I remember I had to do something "magic" for that to work OK before, but I can't remember what it was, and I did not write that down in my blog (or at least, not in a way that I can find it).

Found this, which suggests to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and add the following under XHost *:

XAuthLocation /usr/X11/bin/xauth

Unfortunately, the setup of XQuartz apparently already did that. So that's not it.

Ah, problem is that I need to restart something (the Mac?) to get DISPLAY to be set. Now I could run virt-manager and to the initial connexion to my guest.

(The connexion from the Mac still does not work because I get:

Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 90

I need to investigate that next, it's apparently some inconsistency in the build that lets it use the wrong shared library. Not sure exactly yet why I did not see the problem before.

Reconnecting to Turbo

Rebooted Turbo in "dedicated guest" mode. Apparently, part of the issue I had with connecting to it was because I have to shutdown the firewall entirely (i.e. systemctl stop firewalld). Anything less than that still gives me trouble with connexions.

I guess the firewall configuration tool is not smart enough to leave a wide enough range of ports open when using multiple guests, and I don't want to search right now. I would just like to get back to work, and all these little roadblocks are really annoying.
