Lthank you
LOk, how exactly do I get a shared folder to work in the guest OS in boxes? For a test I set Public as the share folder in the config, but when I put a file in the host public folder or in the guest public folder, it does not show up in the other OS?
Ladditionally the guest OS already has the spice thing installed that it says it needs to work
LDoes anyone know? im having the hardest time figuring this out lol
Lits saying there should be a spice client folder in the guest, but there is none
Hno idea how to do it in gnome boxes but on virt-manager i have a single folder that i pass through using virtiofs (due to limitations it only supports passing through 1 folder per VM last time i checked, but it works for my use)

Hnot sure how supported virtio-9p is as i never used it personally since i needed something that worked on multiple OSes and back when i looked into it, it didnt work on i think windows. that might have changed ages ago though, but at that point i already had samba set up on my host or i moved on to virtiofs
GJust installed bazzite-deck with the testing branch on my OLED deck, and it's mostly working well. There's two bugs I've noticed so far:
1) In the mangohud display that's built into Steam game mode, overlay 2 doesn't show any frametime graph next to FPS. It appears in overlays 3 and 4. In addition, overlay is missing information on CPU power usage and temperature.
2) This is a bit more serious - when using the frame limiter in game mode, limiting the framerate to any number that doesn't divide into 90hz results in a very choppy frametime presentation, with the frametime fluctuating rapidly between a few ms (you can observe this using mangohud overlay level 3). You notice this in-game as microstutters during gameplay. This disappears if I set the refresh rate to anything that sets the panel to 90hz. This is a problem given 60 and 40 FPS values are a common target to hit for the deck.
2b) As an addendum to the above, setting the frame limiter to more unorthodox limits (such as 80hz) means the frame target fails to reach the target at all, and hovers at different values (in 80hz's case for instance, it tries to stick to 60 FPS for some reason).

CYoutube audio is also crackling and sounds distorted. It's like there's 2 Audio streams on top of each other
LI finally figured out file sharing. But one thing I cant figure out, network speed in virt manager is SO SLOW compared to boxes for some reason
L00.1MB a second slow
Hthat is really slow, so what you using for the share in the end?
LDebugPoint.com
A simple tutorial showing how you can share a folder between host and guest VM in virt-manager using KVM, QEMU and libvirt.
Lany ideas how to fix it?
Hvirtiofs
L?
Hyoure using virtiofs
Lyes
Hno idea why thats so slow for you though
L0.1mb download speed but only in virtual manager
Has its not network based, its memory based, sure its not the fastest but it should be faster than what youre getting
Lmy host OS is 786MB a second
Li literally cant even update the guest OS its so slow
CSome speech-dispatcher issue. Unfortunately I couldn't fix it so I'll stick with the official SteamOS
CFor pipewire/pulseaudio
LBoxes has normal download speed, if only shared folders worked on it
Hvirtiofs is literally a filesystem passthrough, no networking involved.
the slowdown is either from the driver itself, the implementation or the disk the passed through folder is on

Mwhere can i find the mangohud config?
Mim running bazzite on distrobox btw
Mi cant seem to find it in the default location
LAny ideas how to trouble shoot it? I really dont have any clue about any of it
LI dont even know what driver you are talking about lmao
Lthe disk is on the same drive as the OS
Leverything is the same drive
Hvirtiofsd in the guest tools
Hthe thing that handles mounting the folder
Lyou mean the shared folder? or you mean the folder for the guest OS?
Hthe only difference (except alias which will have no performance impact) is that i use a queue size of 1024
Ljust to be clear the shared folder is not the issue, im saying i can only download anything from the internet in the guest OS at 0.1MB a second
Hin the xml i have
instead of
instead of
Hoh well you worded it as if you had horrible performance getting things from the shared folder
Lim glad that confusion is cleared up now
Lso yeah how do I fix that?
Hok in that case should be a lot easier if its actually just downloads that are the issue
Lcorrect
His the guest OS windows or linux?
Llinux
Hmake sure the device model for the nic (network card) in the virtual machine is set to virtio
Lit is
Lalready
