Installing Clear Linux Desktop on KVM - Login Issue

Q&A
1

Hi All,

After having success getting KVM running under Clear Linux, I’ve decided to run up a desktop VM.
Unfortunately, I have had a few issues. First was getting the graphical bootloader to work?

Kept flashing section below over and over.

After going through a few sites and forums - looks like UEFI is required. Version used clear-39050-live-desktop.iso

I downloaded three OVMF files mentioned here:
clear-linux-documentation/kvm.rst at e6ec4f30f78f8b3c33138a3c0b98be0f5b32cf35 · clearlinux/clear-linux-documentation · GitHub. I placed them under /opt/kvm/uefi.

I then edited my VM xml file by adding following lines under OS section.

 <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/opt/kvm/uefi/OVMF.fd</loader>
 <nvram template='/opt/kvm/uefi/OVMF.fd'>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/clr_VARS.fd</nvram>

I was able to successfully install CL and boot to the login screen. Now what? If I try logging in, it just keeps reloading the login screen. I am able to console in and login but not through the GUI?

Anyone experienced this issue?

Kind Regards

Run the following command to prevent GDM from auto starting. The “desktop-autostart” bundle must be uninstalled for success with KDE or other non-GNOME desktop environments.

sudo swupd bundle-remove desktop-autostart
sync && sudo reboot

Hi marioroy,

Does CL not run Gnome by default? I am presuming it’s GNOME not KDE or other desktop environment?

Also in removing the desktop-autostart - would that prevent the desktop from loading? Or just the login GDM.

Under Xorg.0.log I get an error - Server aborting

Sorry, I misread KVM for KDE. In which case, please ignore my suggestion.

So I removed gnome and gdm and instead loaded my preferred desktop, xfce4 and lightdm.
Now I am able to log into the desktop, at least. It takes a good 30 sec to load the desktop and found most applications take 10-20 sec to load. I can’t seem to logout as I get the following error.

I’m sure it’s not meant to be this way? Why is Clear Linux Desktop so broken?

This is a clean install, what am I doing wrong?

I’m happy to use the default gnome desktop if I was able to login. Can’t find much information on the errors provided above.

Cheers
