# Display
|
|
|
|
A virtual display can be attached to a virtual machine. It is a must-have for non-headless scenarios.
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
* *to-be done. Add table here*.
|
|
|
|
## Display types
|
|
|
|
### VNC
|
|
|
|
* *to-be done*
|
|
|

### Spice

### SDL display
|
|
|
|
The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)-powered display is a local-only low-latency display.
|
|
|
|
> The SDL display is only avalable with virtual machines created using the QEMU/KVM **user Session** mode and **Xorg**.
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
#### SELinux configuration
|
|
|
|
By default, SELinux will block access to X Windows Server for the virtualization stack. An exception has to be set.
|
|
|
|
* Set new rule
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo setsebool -P virt_use_xserver 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Do some magic trick
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ausearch -c 'qemu-system-x86' --raw | audit2allow -M my-qemusystemx86
|
|
k
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* And another one
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo semodule -X 300 -i my-qemusystemx86.pp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### XML SDL example
|
|
|
|
> Mouse grab does not currently work with the SDL display
|
|
{.is-warning}
|
|
|
|
> The display resolution of your guest display should not exceed that of your physical screen.
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
* Example of an XML SDL configuration, with OpenGL enabled. This example requires a 3D-capable graphic card to be attached to the guest computer, such as virtio-gpu.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<graphics type="sdl" display=":0" xauth="/root/.Xauthority" fullscreen="yes">
|
|
<gl enable="yes"/>
|
|
</graphics>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> You can identify your display using the following command: `echo $DISPLAY`.
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
### D-Bus display
|
|
|
|
[D-Bus](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/) is a desktop-oriented middleware that can be used to create a display for a virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
* Export and enable a video backend, add support for OpenGL and peer-to-peer connection:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<graphics type="dbus">
|
|
<gl enable="yes"/>
|
|
</graphics>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will look like that when launched:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<graphics type="dbus" address="unix:path=/run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/dbus/8-user-d-bus-dbus.sock">
|
|
<gl enable="yes" rendernode="/dev/dri/renderD128"/>
|
|
</graphics>
|
|
```
|
|
* Export and enable an audio backend:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<graphics type="dbus">
|
|
<audio id="1">
|
|
</graphics>
|
|
```
|
