Subject: [DNG] Pardon my ignorance (Daedalus desktop in proxmox)
This question isn't exactly Devuan related, but.
In furtherance of my son's education (and my escape from Windows), I'm
installing a full
devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_desktop.iso in a VM in proxmox. Installation
went OK
except for a failure when I included Web Server in the Software Install step
(took a couple of tries to figure that out).

I've zero familiarity with modern Linux desktops and picked whatever was at
the top of the list.
Not the current problem, but the point is to find out what I can run in
Wine.

>From the VM config, I picked VirtIO-GPU for display. The VM boots OK, but

within the proxmox
Console view. My question is; how do I boot this so that I get a full KVM
interface. Meaning; the
VM controls the KVM bits? To complicate the question, I've got several
computers hooked to
a KVM switch, including this proxmox host. When I switch to that port, I
get the proxmox login,
in this case, while the VM isn't running.

Up to this point, I've started a VNC server and run a bunch of xterms in
twm and been happy
using a VNC client in Windows. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thx, Chris
