[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1787505] Re: Solaris host: no network connection, mouse pointer mismatch

[Michele Denber]

Anyone?  I'm still trying to get my networking working.  On this page:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking#User_mode_networking, it
says

"The guest OS will see an E1000 NIC with a virtual DHCP server on
10.0.2.2 and will be allocated an address starting from 10.0.2.15. A
virtual DNS server will be accessible on 10.0.2.3, and a virtual SAMBA
file server (if present) will be accessible on 10.0.2.4 allowing you to
access files on the host via SAMBA file shares."

That's fine, but my LAN is on 192.186.0.x not, 10.2.0.x.  The following
starts qemu but

./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2047 -boot d  -usb -device usb-tablet  -smp 3
-netdev user,id=n0,net=192.168.0.0/24 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0 -hda
/bkpool/qemuimages/XP.img -cdrom /bkpool/qemuimages/xp.iso &

shows an Ethernet device in XP but is unable to connect to anything via
IE.


But it also says

"To use this network setup with the Linux kernel, you must set the
configuration option CONFIG_E1000=y when compiling."

Does this (to the extent that Linux applies to Solaris) also apply if
I'm using an rtl8139 card?

Title:
  Solaris host: no network connection, mouse pointer mismatch

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  This is probably a bit far afield but on a Solaris 10 SPARC host (Sun
  M3000) running a Windows XP guest like this:

  ./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -boot d  -smp 3 -net nic -net user -hda
  /bkpool/qemuimages/XP.img -cdrom /bkpool/qemuimages/xp.iso &

  the vnc server starts up and Windows boots normally.  However, there
  is no network connectivity.  There are no network devices visible in
  XP's Networking tab of Control Panel and a ping of the local router
  reports "unreachable".

  Also, the keyboard works fine but the guest mouse pointer is offset
  from the host mouse position by an amount that varies by screen
  position.  This makes it impossible to point to locations near the
  edge of the qemu window.  This seems to be a previously reported
  problem, but the suggested fix, " -device usb-tablet", prevents qemu
  from even starting:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -device usb-tablet: No 'usb-bus' bus found for
  device 'usb-tablet'

  The physical mouse is connected to the USB port of a Sun Ray 2fs
  controlling the M3000 via Sun Ray server.  I apologize if this is a
  configuration issue and not a bug but I don't know where else to
  report it and have been unable to find a solution in the
  documentation.
