I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]


EDIT: tldr - I was having issues creating a VM using Virtual Machine Manager on Bazzite Linux. Several responders chimed in that it's likely because I'm using the flatpak version of VMM. I probably still could make it work on Bazzite somehow, perhaps w/ the help of distrobox, but instead I've fired up a VM on an old laptop running Linux Mint and everything is smooth sailing. Thanks to all who took some time to help me find a solution.


Original body:

Background: I'm looking to set up a virtual Debian server using Virtual Machine Manager, but I'm stuck on creating my first VM. I'm running Bazzite on my host machine if that makes any difference.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

  1. Launch Virtual Machine Manager.
  2. Click File > New Virtual Machine, which opens the "New VM - Step 1" window.
  3. Select "Local install media" and click Forward, which brings me to "New VM - Step 2."
  4. Click "Browse..." which opens the "Locate ISO media volume" window:
  5. Click "Browse Local," which opens the file browser.
  6. Choose ISO file (in my case, I'm using debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso) and click Select, which returns me to the "New VM - Step 2" window.
  7. Because the OS is not detected automatically, I uncheck the "Automatically detect from the installation media / source" checkbox, start typing the word "debian" in the text box above it, and select Debian 12 from the pop-up selection menu.
  8. Click Forward.

Actual behavior:

Input Error - Error setting installer parameters. Validating install media '/run/user/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso' failed. Could not start storage pool: cannot open directory '/run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc': Permission denied.

Expected behavior: Create the VM and boot into the ISO that I selected in previous steps.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Well, what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc and what user are you running VMM as?
in reply to Balinares

Here are the results of some commands that I believe answer your questions. When I run the ls command against that directory, it says no such file or directory. Could this have something to do w/ the fact that Virtual Machine Manager is running as a flatpak? (as the other commenter @ormith@lemmy.world has hinted)

Here's what I tried:

what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc


myusername@fedora:~$ ls -la /run/usr/1000/doc
ls: cannot access '/run/usr/1000/doc': No such file or directory

what user are you running VMM as


myusername@fedora:~$ ps aux | grep virt-manager
myusername      17995  0.0  0.0   3688  2048 ?        S    13:05   0:00 /usr/bin/bwrap --args 40 -- virt-manager
myusername      18011  0.0  0.0   3788  1396 ?        S    13:05   0:00 /usr/bin/bwrap --args 40 -- virt-manager
myusername      18013  1.5  0.3 889968 101424 ?       Sl   13:05   0:00 python3 /app/bin/virt-manager
myusername      18147  0.0  0.0 230340  2224 pts/0    S+   13:06   0:00 grep --color=auto virt-manager

EDIT: I got past this issue by opening up Flatseal and granting access to all system files for Virtual Machine Manager; however, now I'm getting stuck on another permission issue after I choose how much RAM, CPU, and disk space to allocate. Reference my response to @ormith@lemmy.world's comment.

WOW, yes, your problem is almost certainly Flatpak-related. I'm surprised you even got as far as you did. Flatpak is often great but does not tend to play well with applications that need less common capabilities.

I'd recommend installing VMM in a different way if that's an option for you; I expect that will likely make your problem go away.

in reply to yo_scottie_oh

Virtual Machine Manager's GitHub page for its flatpak includes the following lines:

NOTE: By default, this Flatpak only includes the Virtual Machine Manager client application and does not include the libvirt daemon or QEMU. Depending on your use case, you may have to install other applications or extensions:
  • Connecting to a remote libvirt instance: nothing else needed
  • Connecting to a libvirt system instance: make sure that libvirtd is installed on the host, either via your package manager or using a system extension on image based systems for example
  • Connecting to a libvirt user instance: install the QEMU extension using flatpak install org.virt_manager.virt_manager.Extension.Qemu


So, in this case, have you either installed libvirtd on the host^[Technically, you could also install libvirtd as a sysext.] (i.e. have you installed it with rpm-ostree) OR have you installed the QEMU extension as per its own instruction?

If neither, then you should at least do one of them and report back.


EDIT: While what's written above remains relevant beyond Bazzite, Bazzite's ujust scripts do provide handholds for a myriad of situations including this one:

  • (Step 0: Uninstall^[The ujust script will likely install another instance of VM Manager. As such, the flatpak is no longer needed and would only cause confusion.] the flatpak of Virtual Machine Manager)
  • Step 1: Install Virtual Machine Manager with ujust, i.e. invoke the ujust setup-virtualization command

I suppose the ujust way handles a bunch of gotchas you'd otherwise have to tackle yourself. And, thus, is most likely preferred over all other methods.

As a side note, please consider consulting Bazzite's excellent documentation first. We'll be more than happy to help out regardless, but I'm sure there are a bunch of gems you'll be missing out on otherwise.

Plasma 6: display brightness changes on its own


Hi, please kindly direct me to the right community to ask this:

Plasma 6 is my favorite DE and i use KDE neon.
The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea. But it does that the wrong way IMO. Dark windows are dimmed and bright windows are lit up. Why? Now i have both extremes switching back and forth all the time. Can we turn that the other way around or turn it off please?

I like that the screens hardware brightness setting is used now from the desktop. Great! But now i have no control over it anymore, since when i open a bright window, the brightness setting goes up too. I hate that at night.

Usually adjusting the brightness for me has one purpose:
- bright room: max display brightness (day)
- dark room: min display brightness (night)

...maybe something in between for transition.
All the other features are nice to have but please only work on them when this main feature is secured.

in reply to klay1

That's probably the new Extended Dynamic Range setting from Plasma 6.4. You can find it in the display settings. It is meant to adjust the display's brightness to emulate an HDR display.
in reply to Björn Tantau

I don't want to be "that" guy, but enabling features added with an update by default is just not the best user experience (if that's the case).

That's definitely not something Plasma is doing... Sounds like your monitor is dumb with "adaptive contrast" or just terribly implemented local dimming.





"ChatBot" is bad design




“ChatBot” is bad design


As anyone who has ever seen anything I have created knows: I am not a designer. So take my reasoning and thinking here with a grain of salt. I do have many designers amongst my friends and I do think that a lot of software engineering falls within the domain of design to a certain degree. Let me explain.

To me design is the process of exploring, potentially formalizing a problem space and possible solutions for that problem culminating in a solution based on that exploration. Design (to me) is about creating artefacts that do certain specific things for specific target audiences/users. The specific thing can be evoking an emotion or an abstract thought process or just doing a certain task really well. Beauty is a quality of good design because things being pleasant can help with their use, acceptance, but anyone who has ever had to sit on a chair designed mostly to look good knows that beauty only gets you so far.

So using that understanding of design I keep thinking about the current trend of everything being turned into chatbots or “conversational systems”. And I can’t shake the feeling that these paradigms are – for most cases – just bad design.

Broken promises


A chat/conversational interface implies a whole lot of things: We chat with other people, a chat implies a level of social experience, of a shared space for people to meet. Which is great if you want to tell your users “this part of the app is where you talk to people”. But what happens when that “promise” the design made is broken?

We’ve all been forced to interact with chatbots for support. There’s an issue with your phone contract, the underpants they sent you don’t fit or some other thing and you need to talk to someone to sort things out. Enter the chatbot who keeps answering your questions with useless links or other strategies to keep you away from the “expensive” humans to talk to. The company wants to save on support so they try to distract you with a bot which either accidentally helps you find a solution or makes you think “it’s not worth it, I’ll just have to live with my crotch being strangled”. It’s a distraction to avoid investing in you and the relationship. How does that make you feel?

This is not just a support question: Onlyfans recently had issues where people realized that they were not actually chatting to the adult performers they paid for but someone or something else. Now the other side of the chat might have been underpaid staff but the dynamic is the same: Chat interfaces make a promise of social experience and trust that LLM Chatbot can never fulfill. It’s a deception. And good design should not deceive.

Guideless


A good interface guides you to solving the problem you have, good design makes it easy for you to do what the thing is supposed to do. Think of a program you really like to use: It probably shows you the steps you need to take in a structured way asks you the few things it needs from you and then does the thing you want it to do. Because that is what good design does.

What does a chatbot guide you to do? Maybe it asks you a question but for many chatbots it’s just “how can I help you?” or “Ask me anything”. Does that help you use it? Does that structure your path towards solving your problem? The huge number of people whose whole identity has become telling others how to write prompts begs to differ.

I have already argued before that “AI” systems are not tools. Because they don’t contain clear and specific descriptions of problems and corresponding strategies for solving said problem. But let’s pretend that we have a system that can solve a certain problem really well and efficiently: Is a chatbot a better interface than a structured form or UI that let’s you just go through the required steps and then get the result? Chatbots don’t narrow down the path towards a solution, they leave everything open. Which might be great for engagement and keeping people hooked but is that an efficient use of your time?

Outsourcing of work


Let’s talk about your time a bit. I am very protective of mine, I hate it when objects or processes mindlessly waste mine. I do of course waste my time on weird shit, thankyouverymuch, but I want to make that call.

A bad design that forces me to waste time or do a lot of unnecessary busywork is bad because it didn’t do its job: It didn’t make the process easier and more structured for me, it leaves me to do that labor. And I have a similar feeling towards this as I have towards self-checkout terminals at stores: Why do I have to do unpaid work for you and still pay the same? Why should I make it easier for you to employ fewer people getting a worse service while paying the same? That feels dumb. And wrong.

Chatbots don’t make my work easier. Instead of getting a predictable, understandable result based on my needs in a specific situation I get extra work assigned: I need to phrase my query the right way in order to get the machine to lie maybe a bit less. Need to add magic words to the input to stop it from going off the rails. That is my labor I have to put in to make a bad design work. Feels like I am not just doing my job but also the work the operator of the service or product I am having to use through chat should have paid professionals to do. And I’m not getting paid for it.

Like, why should companies get away with refusing to do the work of designing their products in a meaningful way and still get paid?

I want solutions


I do not need the one magic machine that claims to solve all my issues and then makes me jump through conversational hoops to get a mediocre result. That is actually the opposite of what I need.

I want people who know their shit to externalize all they know into tools I can use to benefit off of all that embodied knowledge. And chatbots do not help me with that at all (regardless of the capabilities or lack thereof of LLMs).

I want simple tools that do specific things build by people who were paid fairly and go home on time.





Broadcom's answer to VMware pricing outrage: You're using it wrong


Customers dismayed by Broadcom's move to selling costly bundles such as VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) will realize its value if they'd just use more of the components, the company's CTO says.

VMware, now a Broadcom subsidiary, is shifting away from selling perpetual licenses for individual products. It instead offers subscription bundles of software and support, such as its flagship VCF private cloud platform – version 9 of which was released this week.

The largest enterprise users seem content with this. Broadcom chief Hock Tan told investors this month that 87 percent of VMware's top 10,000 customers have signed up for VCF.

However some smaller and middle sized customers reacted negatively to the licensing changes, claiming their costs have increased by eight to 15 times since the Broadcom acquisition, and there are many stories of firms planning to migrate their workloads from VMware to an alternative platform in future because of this.

"A lot of those stories around cost don't play out when we actually get to sit down with the customer and talk to them about their situation, what they need, and what we're going to do with them," said Broadcom's EMEA chief technology officer, Joe Baguley.

"Initially people might go 'all the prices have gone up,' but those 87 percent of people that have renewed with us have renewed because they've chosen VCF as their strategy going forward," he claimed.

I installed Openmediavault on a computer recently, what should I do next?


I picked up an old optiplex I'm trying to use as a NAS and do other things with. Initially I put Debian on there but felt like I was running into too many problems with things like power management, remot desktop, Docker, and mounting drives.

So I put Openmediavault on there and it's working now. But what are some of the best ways to get the most out of it?

Can I do most things through the browser interface, or should I remote into it to install things?

How easily can I mount it as a network drive to other computers? I still have a Windows PC so I'd like to access it from there too if possible.

And what's the best way to get other services running on it? I'm thinking of how it's possible to set up torrenting software and control it with a remote app from your phone. (For managing and sharing my distros, of course).

Happy to hear any feedback on what people do with OMV, or their setups for a NAS in general. This is more of a tinkering computer to get me more familiar with networks and Linux.

in reply to tombruzzo [none/use name]

You should be able to do everything through the web interface.

You can make network shares by creating shared folders under Storage->Shared Folders then configure your Windows shares through Services->SMB/CIFS

Install the openmediavault-compose plugin to manage your docker containers.

I would also suggest installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin for secure remote access to your services from outside your network.

in reply to SanguineBrah

Thank you, this is really handy. Compose should help with Docker for me and this gives me some direction with plugins.

Is the LFCS worth getting?


Hey so I'm currently homeless at the moment looking for an entry level IT job. I have just enough money to purchase the RHCSA voucher ($700 CAD) but I wouldn't be able to eat lol.

The LFCS currently has a 30% discount and it was already cheaper than the RHCSA so I'm very inclined to purchase this but I'd only be doing so with the expectation that I'm able to atleast start landing interviews for help desk/tech support.

What would you guys do in my shoes? 0 interest in networking and I already daily drive Linux so I'm confident in my abilities to pass the LFCS.

Yeah. For a small shop, it won't help. Just show up and be willing to work and learn. Save that money.
in reply to kl0udbug [none/use name]

Only reason I got it, was because it was cheaper than the Red Hat one and my employer just needed me to get a Linux certificate. So the cheapest was what I got.

[solved] Is there a way to actually download a song from spotify (not just spotdl method of finding it on youtube)?


I have a specific song that doesn't seem to be on youtube. I've tried a bunch of spotify download websites plus spotdl, they all claim to find it but then the song isn't the same song (or is instrumental when it should have words).

One of my kids has asked for this for their MP3 player. I'm even happy to pay for it properly, I just can't find it anywhere except spotify. The song is this specific version of Power in Me by The Young Voices Choir: open.spotify.com/track/4xkRsdm…

Any ideas?

Edit: I managed to get the song using spotidown.app, thanks for all the suggestions!

VHS digitization woes


I'm trying to digitize some VHS tapes (presumably recorded as NTSC), but I have some questions that I've yet to find answers for. My current process/setup is as follows:
- VHS tapes are played in a PV-D4745S-K VCR
- The VCR's composite output is captured using a generic EasyCap capture card.
- The captured output is fed into OBS Studio with the following settings:
- A source with it's device set to the capture card, the video format is set to YUYV 4:2:2, the resolution is set to 720x480, the frame rate is currently set to Leave Unchanged (more on this later).
- Under Settings>Video I have set Common FPS Values with 29.97.
- I also have set my encoding options under Settings>Output, as well as audio settings under Settings>Audio, but the details of that aren't relevant in this context.
- I also have deinterlacing disabled by right clicking on the scene and selecting Deinterlacing>Disable.

With this, I seem to be able to capture VHS tapes with decent quality, but I have some nagging questions:
1. How do I verify if OBS has indeed captured interlaced? I'm trying to capture both fields, but I'm unsure if that's actually happening, and I'm not sure how to go about verifying it.
2. Should I capture at 29.97 FPS or 59.94 FPS? My thinking is that, given that I'm capturing interlaced, I would think I would multiply the number of captured frames by 2 as, if I understand correctly, each captured frame contains 2 fields, and each would be captured sequentially, so if I want to capture at 29.97 FPS interlaced, I would need to capture at 59.94 FPS. I'm not sure if I'm right about that though.
3. I mentioned above that the framerate under the source properties is set to Leave Unchanged. The reason for why I chose that option is because the only other options that it offers for framerates are 30.00, 20.00, 10.00, and 5.00 — ie there is no option for 29.97, nor 59.94 — so I'm using Leave Unchanged in the hopes that it's autodetecting the proper frame rate, but that's mostly an assumption on my part. The closest to NTSC's 29.97 would be 30.00, but I'm not sure if this is an issue. And what's confusing me more is that I have 29.97 FPS set under Settings>Video with Common FPS Values and 29.97 set. If I set to source framerate to 30 with OBS at 29.97, will that lead to syncing issues? Is there a way to force the source to use 29.97 to match OBS? What's confusing me further about this is that if I list the formats for the capture device with
v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video2 --list-formats-ext
I get the following output (I have truncated it to only list what's relevant, as the full output is long and contains unnecessary information):
[…] size: Discrete 720x480 […] Interval: Discrete 0.033s (30.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps) Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps) […]
There is no option for 29.97 FPS, and, as can be seen by the output, it matches what OBS sees. Is this an issue? It seems, to me, that the capture card isn't capable of proper NTSC framerates, and can only capture at 30 FPS as the closest value.

in reply to Kalcifer

The video from your vcr get converted to digital in the usb-capture card. Whatever signal you are receiving in obs wont need deinterlacing, unless the capture device is bad at its job.

Here is how i did my conversions from vhs (eu).

First thing to do is to convert the analogue signal to hdmi. This will ensure that the capture card gets a proper digital signal that obs can deal with. I got an active (powered) SCART to hdmi device.

Second thing is getting a capture card that records the resulting 1080p och 720p output from the ADC. I got a relatively cheap one which then plugs into the pc with usb-a.

After that i setup a scene with the capture card as source and transform the output using obs to get the resolution, size and format i want.

Done.

[…] Whatever signal you are receiving in obs wont need deinterlacing, unless the capture device is bad at its job. […]


As I mentioned in my post, I have deinterlacing disabled. I don't want to deinterlace.

in reply to Kalcifer

The fact that you think you need the option at all is enough.

Why would you WANT interlaced video?

Why? What's wrong with directly capturing composite? I have yet to come across an HDMI capture card that doesn't process the signal in some way (eg no upscaling, no deinterlacing). I'm doing this for archival purposes so I want the signal as unadulterated as possible. This also includes these sorts of transformations you mention:

You are literally changing analogue to digital. There will be alteration. Period, no discussion.

You have some choice in the way you alter it, but eventually its the same chip in every device that deals with the ADC.

in reply to teslasaur

[…] Second thing is getting a capture card that records the resulting 1080p och 720p output from the ADC. I got a relatively cheap one which then plugs into the pc with usb-a. […]


I want to capture interlaced — not progressive ^[2][1]^. I don't want any deinterlacing done by the capture card ^[3]^.

E’ un buon ritorno questo di Paul Simon che, dopo diverse pubblicazioni di non grande valore, ritorna finalmente con un disco sopra la media, anche se lontano dall’ultimo suo capolavoro solista che è Graceland. So Beautiful Or So What è il dodicesimo lavoro in studio del settantenne cantautore americano famoso anche per il duo con Art Garfunkel. Nei testi è la spiritualità l’elemento predominante, ecco infatti cosa dice in una sua intervista: “Spiritualità sì, tanta, anche se in senso non religioso. Credo sia connessa con i tempi, con i problemi economici in America; c'è tanta gente che ha perso e perde il lavoro. Quel che capita nel mondo, e anche nella mia vita, finisce sempre nelle canzoni. Ma direi che sarebbe troppo appioppargli il titolo “Now i sing God”; il soggetto Dio appare in 4 o 5 canzoni, non l'ho fatto intenzionalmente”, un disco quindi, che approfondisce il significato della vita... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/07…

Blender script to apply custom style to osm buildings


I successfully created a map from osm using blosm addon and wanted to transform it so that all buildings had a medieval style.
I'm trying to obtain it with the help of AI but I was wondering if something was already done.
It could be futuristic, post apocalyptic, or whatever.

I have been getting this error on Elk for Mastodon


It happens only when I open the "home" timeline. The trending, local, and federated timelines still load normally. Am I the only one getting this error? Can I fix it somehow?







Mercoledì 25 giugno a Pavarolo (To) la sgra della Susina Purin-a


La Susina Purin-a di Pavarolo, chiamata anche “Prugna di San Giovanni” (“Brigna” in piemontese), è una drupa color vinoso di piccola pezzatura, dolce, molto gustosa e apprezzata dai consumatori, al punto che da anni l’amministrazione comunale le dedica una Sagra giunta alla 28ª edizione. Il nome Purin-a è un richiamo alla parola “pura” che sta ad indicare la rusticità della pianta, che necessita di pochissimi trattamenti e non richiede innesto. La varietà matura attorno al 24 giugno, appena dopo la Susina di San Luigi, da cui si differenzia per il sapore più intenso e per la colorazione.

La varietà Purin-aè coltivata a Pavarolo in particolare nella frazione San Defendente. “Il successo del prodotto deriva sia dalla precocità di maturazione che dal sapore, caratteristiche che hanno permesso alla Susina Purin-a di essere presente in tutte le cascine fino ad oggi” spiega la Sindaca di Pavarolo, Laura Martini.

L’appuntamento con la Sagra della Brigna Purin-a, patrocinata dalla Città metropolitana di Torino, quest’anno è fissato per mercoledì 25 giugno nella piazzetta del mercato in via Maestra. Saranno presenti agricoltori, artigiani e artisti ed è in programma una passeggiata guidata tra i frutteti, in collaborazione con l'associazione Camminare Lentamente, che proporrà un itinerario di circa 5 km su strade bianche. Alle 18 è in programma una dimostrazione con prova pratica di callistenia, disciplina sportiva che utilizza il peso del corpo come resistenza per sviluppare l'armonia e la forza.

L’evento in programma la sera del 25 giugno a partire dalle 19si intitola“Viola come la brigna! Cibo, musica ed una prugna che non ti aspetti”ed è organizzato dalla Pro Loco di Pavarolo.
