I managed to launch the GUI client (virt-manager ?) but I found it too dificult, with too many options to figure out Maybe had I made sure that my user was in the libvirt group, the experience would have been different But I moved to my Fedora desktop and used Boxes. Way simpler It'd be nice to have Boxes on GuixSD too Maybe some day I'll send a patch ;-) --f403045e94fc515f340560a4aa4a Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Just in case you or someone else wants to use libvirt. I think = the
service is called libvirtd, and you probably need to make sure you're user is in the libvirt group.

Thank you Chris !
I managed to launch the GUI client (= virt-manager ?) but I found it too dificult, with too many options to figur= e out

Maybe had I made sure that my= user was in the libvirt group, the experience would have been different

But = I moved to my Fedora desktop and used Boxes. Way simpler

It'd be nice to have Boxes on GuixSD too
Maybe some day I'll send a patch ;-)
