Im following your guides in Manjaro. When it comes to installing xfreerdp, error: target not found: xfreerdp. Instead it installs xfreerdp3, but then I get the following errors when running xfreerdp3: xfreerdp3 -grab-keyboard /v:192.168.122.68 /u:[Username] /p:[password] /size:100% /d: /dynamic-resolution /gfx-h264:avc444 +gfx-progressive [17:16:56:629] [9630:0000259e] [ERROR][com.winpr.commandline] - [log_error]: Failed at index 8 [/gfx-h264:avc444]: Unexpected keyword
Great video, I got a couple of additions to this. 1: Sharing a folder using virtiofs will prevent virtual machines from entering save mode, so if you want to save your virtual machine as it was when rebooting the host this isn't an option 2. While I love xfreerdp there's also remmina that is a bit more user friendly.
Thanks...really great tutorial...it works...it is considerably more complicated than just the windows install on virtmanager and its no wonder I couldn't figure it out until now, so I kept using virtualbox. Now there is no reason not to use virtmanager and KVM instead...greetz from Canada...works great on my old Xeon workstation server from 2017 with Linux Mint. Sp many different drivers and such needed...
Fantastic video. You might want to consider running win11 on a directly attached disk like a SATA SSD rather than a Virtual Disk file. I think this can give you a real performance boost.
Wow, 7 days ago. Thx a lot. Vbox stopped working on me, so had to switch. Even reinstall & upgrading to Linux Mint 21.2 didn't fix it. Luckily after that install QEMU/KVM all of a sudden was visible in apps list (earlier the install didn't reveal it). Seemed so simple - until folder sharing & the GPU driver stuff! Other YT tutorials were only partially useful, but you helped me out BIG TIME. Still no dedicated GPU, but it works.
It should be noted that remote desktop will only work on Windows 11 Pro, not on Windows 11 Home, so I can't use that. :( Also, if you install Windows 10 first, then Windows 11, you can bypass the Microsoft Account requirement altogether. Other than the fact that I can't use the rRDP feature, these two videos were great and helped me a lot. Thanks for posting these.
This is what i needed! but now i am wondering, it would have been a nice idea to show us how to connect with SMB to make the video complete (not sure how different it would have been to RDP)
I have a question. You mentioned that you can use your Linux hotkeys while using the rdp windows. Does this cause conflicts in case there are similar hotkeys within windows that you want to use? Or is there a way to switch between which system is listening to hotkeys? I’m asking because I want to get a better idea of the advantages/disadvantages between this way or just using Virt-Manager. Thank you for the video!
Good question. I can use my Qtile key bindungs, like SUPER+F for fullscreen, SUPER+1,2,3 for switching workspaces even if the focus is on the RDP window. So I can work on Windows 11 in RDP and switch immediately to another workspace in Qtile if required.
@@onred_ For Super+r nothing happens on my configuration. When I have the focus on my Win11 VM and I press Super, the Windows start menu opens. When I press Super+1, it moves to the first workspace on Qtile. And this happens with any other key bindings. If a key binding exists in Qtile, the system reacts first on that. Hope I could help?!
Hey mate if you get time any chance you could make a video on NixOS setting up QEMU, KVM as you did here maybe using configuration file etc or more on Home Manager and Flakes? Cheers!
@@mylinuxforwork I’d like to suss both OSX-KVM and win 11 with configuration file setups. Meaning once setup repeatable and reproducible. That’s the thought process anyway! Cheers for the response!
Hi there! I appreciate the video. The changes don't take effect when I restart my machine after installing the Spice Guest tools. Paste and copy doesn't work... Exists another option? I appreciate your tutorials.
What is the use of doing RDP when you can access the system directly from the virt manager menu and toggle between the screens using the tab+shift keys?
Great question. I had a better graphical performance with RDP especially with GPU passthrough. You cannot access virt viewer when you passthrough a GPU.

Have you added the Guest Agent Channel in virt-manager?
Curious to know, does quick assist app from windows work ? And will Teams take control feature work including sound and recording ?
Quick assist should work. And you can pass through an audio interface or microphone to the VM.
Great video.
Thank you.
Im getting gfx h264 avc44 unexpected keyword error
very nice job. thank you😊

Nice one...but how do i pass through my second drive inside the machine
This should be possible with Virt-Manager. Never done this before.

@@mylinuxforwork how much memory and processors you are assigning for passthrough.
@@E-Cyber-S 8GB ram and 12 cores. But will also work with less. You need to try it out.

You have to passthrough the USB adapter to the VM.
Danke!
Thank you.
qemu-hw-usb-host was not installed following the earlier video for me. Installing this package resolved errors with usb-host.
I then had to add hardware manually for
Graphic: Spice server
Channel: spicevmc
controller: virtio-serial
And 2x usb redirect devices to give enough channels to redirect and allow the menu option to not be grayed out.
I think this video should insist on installing qemu-full instead of qemu-base.
Thank you so much for testing. I will record a new video later this year.
Would it be possible to run W11 thru a virtual machine and to print to a printer on my network?
Yes. This should work.
@mylinuxforwork Great video, but for some reason my Audio in Windows 11 is not working, i have selected HDA in virt manager and the volume icon in taskbar does show its working but I can't hear any thing. Any idea why?
Thanks
This is difficult to find out. Maybe this article helps bugfixing mathiashueber.com/virtual-machine-audio-setup-get-pulse-audio-working/
Finally someone showed USB passthrough.
Thanks.
that s good its work but when system startup a few second after boot freeze after can use.:(((
Cannot help without more information.
