 Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:30 pm Post subject: qemu versions up and down [solved] |
 |
|
Good day...
I was running qemu -0.13 very fine...since yesterday...an update brought me qemu-1.1.1
which screwed my usb passthrough setup.
Unfortunately Im on work here and searching the mailing lists for usb-passthrough issues is a bit much at the moment.
So I headed for downgrade qemu to version 0.13 and found it gone in the portage tree.
Also people had problems to downgrade to qemu-0.11...
So actually I did not want go down to 0.11 I would rather like go back to 0.13 ?!
how can I get the qemu0.13 release back? always thought gentoo has straight downgrading possibilities.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I found some info that my problem appears with versions >=qemu-kvm-1.1...
created an local overlay according the docs...then downloaded the qemu-kvm ebuild of my choice
from http://gpo.zugaina.info/ and put it to /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm/
also download the patch files and put them into /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm/files/
then I had to unmask portage-2.2 because of an api mismatch
| Code: | echo "sys-apps/portage ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo ">=sys-apps/portage-2.2" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge -u portage
|
then, in the directory /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm i called
| Code: | ebuild qemu-1.0.1-r1.ebuild manifest
emerge qemu-kvm
|
which installed the selected qemu-kvm version via the local overlay.
kvm is working again fine since that. |
