part 2: virtualizing pop os on m1 Apple Silicon

Virtualizing Pop Os! on m1 Apple Silicon

 

Using UTM.  It works! Its fast!

Summary: Ubuntu server arm64 + pop os desktop (arm64)

 

install ms fonts for linux

Part 2: rustup; why; using git

 

rustup; why

Turns out rustup is essential to many projects (zed, redox).

 

curl –proto ‘=https’ –tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started

Don't forget to update every once in a while (see Issue #1208 ).

rustup update

 

Ignore what I said:

https://snownosx.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-cleaner-rust-install-on-macos-127.html

 

rustup self uninstall

https://code2care.org/rust/uninstall-rust-lang-from-mac-linux-or-ubuntu/

 

Using git

git - the simple guide - no deep shit!

pop os, opensshd, emacs,rust-mode,starship , smb share, bionic A72

I'd already installed it on a 500GB HDD.  

OpenSSH Server

installing open ssh server

good troubleshooting tips

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

default, leave it commented

#PubkeyAuthentication yes

change from no to yes

PasswordAuthentication yes

 

restart ssh server and then check that it is running

sudo systemctl restart ssh
sudo systemctl status ssh

 

On your client machine

generate the public key (don't use sudo)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

copy it to the open ssh server host (your pop os machine)

ssh-copy-id user@pop-os.local

 

Looking at the sshd logs:

journalctl -u ssh

Change hostname

Change default hostname to a new one.

 

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname tap-matra

 

 

 

 

Installing starship

requires font

https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

Try it with FiraCode Nerd Font

mkdir ~/.fonts

unzip FiraCode.zip

fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts

Installing emacs-nox

From PPA:

https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/06/install-gnu-emacs-28-1-ubuntu-22-04-20-04/ 

## Installing emacs from PPA ##
sudo apt remove --autoremove emacs emacs-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/emacs
sudo apt install emacs-nox emacs-common

Other methods

https://gist.github.com/rscircus/77e91b36de1e431e0310611a32786e3c

 https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap

Install rust-mode for emacs

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-mode?tab=readme-ov-file#melpa

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html 

https://melpa.org/#/getting-started

create 

touch ~/.emacs.d/init.el

add lines to init.el

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)

 

Now you can install rust-mode with:

M-x package-install rust-mode

And put this in your config to load rust-mode automatically:

(require 'rust-mode)

 

Mount share on remote host

gio mount smb://hostname.local/Downloads

Why Linux will take over the world!

Linux reaches 4%

   will take over in 2040!

 No. 

Linux distributions can be usable even by regular folk depending on how they use them.  For web browsing, working on documents, spreadsheets and drawing its usable its fine.

 But once you go off a very narrow path of those basic tasks you may wind up fiddling with apt, peering into the terminal, trying to install package mostly succeeding but sometimes failing in mysterious ways.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

## install config open ssh server ##

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo systemctl restart ssh
sudo systemctl status ssh

## Installing emacs from PPA ##

sudo apt remove --autoremove emacs emacs-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/emacs
sudo apt install emacs-nox emacs-common

## Installing melpa in ~/emacs.d/init.el ##

## Installing fonts rebuild cache

Success!  Don't forget to install clang

virtualizing linux m1 part 1

virtual ubuntu linux on m1

I wanted to run pop_os! on my m1 mac mini. 

Yay!

 Found UTM which is a slick frontend to qemu.  

Clipboard Sharing

Install spice-vdagent and reboot to enable clipboard sharing.

sudo apt install spice-vdagent

Woes

 x86 images are as slow as molasses.   Pop_os!  is only available in x86 iso.

arm64 are much faster; UTM has an image gallery where ubuntu 22.04 arm64 is available.

 

More Woes

Useful blog

UTM’s documentation.

Conclusion

 I'm out.  I have an old i7 I will run pop_os! on the bare hardware.
