Qemu-agent, what's the advantage?
-
Would the Qemu-agent makes or help increase the size of the qemu guest VNC? The local scaling and auroresize window don't seems to have any effect. I don't want to see text wraparound, if I can help it...see below...look how much room is on the left and right.
-
@nollipfsense if your going to run as vm, you should install the appropriate tool.. For starters the vm can proper shutdown if you have your host need to shut down on say power loss, and then ups shuts down the host that sort of thing.
I run the qemu-guest agent on my pfsenses that run on my nas for lab stuff.

That's a very good answer, John and reminds me to install nut on that computer...thank you.

@nollipfsense not sure if it will help with whatever scaling your wanting to do, other than setup I almost never hit my pfsense vms like that. I either use web ui, or just ssh to them.
-
@johnpoz It's purely for aesthetics...
-
@nollipfsense so did it fix your scaling?
-
@johnpoz Not yet as I have not install qemu-agent yet...had hope that I could do the install using package manager...I'll have to do it manually.
-
@nollipfsense yeah - let me know if you would like me to dig up the instructions I used.. Pretty straight forward though, but yeah might be nice if a package, like they have for the open-vm-tools
