I installed from ISO, specifically a Dell OEM ISO of Windows XP
Professional with SP3. This is a fresh install--nothing added, just
Windows XP from the ISO.
When I launch IE and select Tools:Windows Update it initially downloads the latest client and displays the buttons ("express" and "custom"). When I select "express" it displays "Checking for the latest updates for your computer..." and the green boxes fly across the bar from left-to-right and it just sits there indefinitely. My two questions: 1. How do I get Windows Update to work? 2. How do I configure/verify SDL Graphics (details, below) Here is what I have done, so far: I found the wiki at: https://wiki.gnome.org/Boxes I found https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-boxes-list/2012-November/msg00001.html which explained the documentation and helped me figure out how to validate. In the wiki I followed the link for "relevant packages" to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization#Relevant_Packages and followed the "gettins started with virtualization" link to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization I also found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Virtualization_problems What's confusing is I can go into history and see 2 updates: Update for Windows XP (KB898461) Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) The very last thing I tried because I'd been running "unregistered"--I dug up my product registration key and validated (I was running on the 30-day which I thought shouldn't cripple anything). Sadly that didn't change anything. Windows Update just gets hung--IE still responds and moves to other sites but when on the update site it just sits there with the green boxes flying by. Can someone please help me get Windows Update working? Here's starting debug detail, as outlined in the wiki: Version Information: rpm -q qemu-kvm qemu-common python-virtinst virt-viewer virt-manager qemu-kvm-1.2.2-13.fc18.x86_64 qemu-common-1.2.2-13.fc18.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.600.4-2.fc18.noarch virt-viewer-0.5.4-3.fc18.x86_64 virt-manager-0.9.5-1.fc18.noarch uname -a Linux p7-1456c.localdomain 3.9.11-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 22 21:04:50 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux virt-host-validate QEMU: Checking for hardware virtualization : PASS QEMU: Checking for device /dev/kvm : PASS QEMU: Checking for device /dev/vhost-net : PASS QEMU: Checking for device /dev/net/tun : PASS LXC: Checking for Linux >= 2.6.26 Getting Started: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase smep erms flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase smep erms flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase smep erms flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase smep erms sudo -c "yum install @virtualization" - done! lsmod | grep kvm kvm 443356 1 kvm_intel No listing for kvm_intel or kvm_amd so - Turn on virtualization in BIOS - done! lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 137762 0 kvm 443356 1 kvm_intel Verify Networking: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart Persistent -------------------------------------------------- default active yes yes brctl show command not found!

I started to play with "SDL Graphics" but the commands there didn't work: $> echo <graphics type='sdl display='$DISPLAY' xauth='$XAUTHORITY'/> <graphics type='sdl display=':0.0' xauth='/home/cole/.Xauthority'/> (copy that string) $> su -c 'virsh edit $vmname' (stick that string somewhere in the <devices> block, remove any other <graphics> devices) - the echo command didn't work. I can work around that issue - the var $vmname in root is blank--I have no clue Hardware information - http://pastebin.com/LffZjENa cat /proc/cpuinfo (see pastebin for these results) lspci -vvv virt-host-validate virsh capabilities |
