This email will be about some good results that I have obtained in this non-dbus virt-manager matter, and at least one snag left to solve...
I have made a lot of progress in using non-dbus virt-manager recently. I hope some readers might be interested in these not very usual, except in Gentoo, feats.

This is what I thought that I needed to do at the onset: > > So I guess, to get Tails installed, the way I will need to follow: > > https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/virt-manager/index.en.html But there is now the better debian than the systemDestructed Debian, which is Devuan, and there is now Heads (based on Devuan) instead of Tails (based on Debian): https://heads.dyne.org/about.html or http://fz474h2o46o2u7xj.onion/about.html And, as far as Tails, I can use it, although as of this time still only in pure Qemu (just a little is still missing for full Libvirt deployment under sound control of grsecurity RBAC policies... more below about that): https://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-161015-qemu-devuan/qemu-devuan-10.php (and the successive page) This was wrong, that's for developers > So, the mailing list: > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list > there's users list instead: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users But I first need to complete setting up the grsecurity RBAC policies for Libvirt: Libvirt virtualization policies https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4675 which I might be at an end of (that took time! but it feels rewarding)... All of that I have successfully managed to do without dbus... Or d-bus, like in the comparison table of init systems: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Comparison_of_init_systems Which I hope is slowly spreading from Gentoo into other true-unix FOSS, the sans-dbus OpenRC... But I would need time to see, say, how far Devuan has reached in implementing OpenRC, as they planned... (I'm not a dev, I'm only yet struggling to become a good tester for projects that I believe in...) I have also hit a snag... see the last post at: Whonix on Gentoo issues https://forums.whonix.org/t/whonix-on-gentoo-issues/3188/17 where find (pasting: (virt-viewer:9916): GSpice-CRITICAL **: egl init failed: cannot create EGL context and more. That's basically, my virt-manager, virt-viewer and spice, and spice-gtk and xf86-video-qxl have some issues, and when virt-viewer starts, the spice client can't get the egl context, which I have come to understand is the... keyboard and the mouse... In slow time, if anybody has any advice about this matter, I'll be greatful! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
