Any
#Plan9 or
#9front expert on fedi? I heard a lot about it and few days ago when I spotted a new release of the [9front](http://9front.org/releases/2026/08/02/0/) and there was
#qcow2 #QEMU images, I started to look at it. However I never get the
#rio #GUI session to work. I am starting the
#VM by:
qemu-system-x86_64 \<br> -machine q35 -enable-kvm \<br> -m 2g -cpu host \<br> -vga std \<br> -drive "media=disk,if=virtio,file=$HOME/Downloads/9front-11952.amd64.qcow2" \<br> -netdev user,id=vioif0,hostfwd=tcp::5699-:22 \<br> -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vioif0 \<br> -no-reboot \<br> -daemonize<br>my host system is
#Debian #Linux running on
#X11. The error message after login with
glenda was not very informative though:
