A running VM does not survive a suspend-to-ram on my setup (and for some reason does not get restarted, either).

I have a working but horribly unelegant fix for this which spawns the awesome under an unprivileged user account.

I am not entirely sure that the awesome config does not allow anyone to run programs or modify files.

The network traffic of the VM seriously needs to be directed through some tunnel so it is not stamped with your name when you are in a network requiring authentication (say, at university).

That screenshot just needs to be written somewhere into /var/www every few seconds et voila! This would be pretty easy to implement since libvirt has bindings for every major scripting language and allows you to take a screenshot of the VM.

I would like a locally hosted web page where you can look at what the VM is doing currently.

Also, you will probably want to modify the script to suit your particular configuration.įinally add the script to your ~/.xscreensaver config file as the first entry of the programs list and set mode to one and selected to 0. Now copy the xp-screensaver.sh script and the awesome config lua file into some folder readable by your normal user account and give the shell script some executable bits. Later, instead of slowly booting, the VM is just restored from this snapshot (taking approx. Now type savevm clean-running and hit enter, thereby saving a snapshot of the current state of the VM into the image file (be patient, it might take a few minutes). Once you have the windows inside the image, boot it and switch to the qemu monitor which you should normally be able to find by pressing ctrl-alt-shift-2.

Should the VM exit before the screen is unlocked because somebody pressed "Shut down" the VM image is reset and the VM restarted. As soon as the screen is unlocked, xscreensaver sends a SIGTERM to the shell script which in turn stops all the X servers, window managers and virtual machines it launched and resets the VM image. To unlock the screen, you need to switch back to the VT where your usual X is running. This shell script starts a new X server with a very minimal awesome window manager and unfreezes a kvm virtual machine containing a Windows XP on that X server, ready to be used by any passersby.
