hi ivan, isee your answer for the virtualbox issus, i test your boxes appimage, ,have some bug

[newyorkthink]

1. firest your boxes appimage always show missing libpixbufloader-svg.so

   
   ./boxes.AppImage
   Running Conty
   Nvidia driver handler is enabled

(org.gnome.Boxes:424443): dbind-WARNING **: 13:09:36.580: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

the bug can fix:
this bug cause that boxes is based gtk
so your need add libpixbufloader-svg.so when you finish run create-arch-bootstrap.sh:

cp ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-ibus.so ./root.x86_64/usr/lib cp ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-* ./root.x86_64/usr/lib

and this my note for review:
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f03f7894-3959-42b2-ad63-85336f7c8d78)

the following, i just tamp fixed (this is temporay fixed, plesae mege in cont.y):

and the all appimage software for base gtk , need ibus frame work , don't forge include this

and the three: note: vmware workstion 17.5.2 for people free, the cause is the broadcom company acquire the vmware company .

so vmware workstation for people free

i try build conty for vmware workstion it, always need mkdir /etc/vmware

is difficult work

[newyorkthink]

the four post: xdroid is the best android simulator for linux maybe you intrest for this: https://www.linzhuotech.com/index.php/home/index/xdroid.html https://www.linzhuotech.com/Product/download i don;t have to built it

and this free

[newyorkthink]

i forget; thank in advance :)

[ivan-hc]

OK, theni in order:

1. to fix the first issue I need to copy some existing libraries in /usr/lib

   cp ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-ibus.so ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/
   cp ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-* ./root.x86_64/usr/lib/

2. the USB issue, I don't know what I must do
3. and 4. are requests for applications? VMware and Xdroid? I've never used them, so I don't know if I'm ablo to do what you asked.

if you can, please tell me more on the issue 2, about USB support, thanks

[ivan-hc]

@newyorkthink I think I've solved the issue with GTK messages, by following your instructions.

NOTE, I've not installed the libvirt-related drivers on my host, so I get the message

Boxes-Message: 18:47:59.501: libvirt-machine.vala:290: Failed to connection to system libvirt: Unable to open qemu+unix:///system: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock-ro': No such file or directory

About USB support, I can reproduce the issue, I receive this message

spice-client-glib-usb-helper: Error PoliciKit error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.spice-space.lowlevelusbaccess is not registered

"spice" is installed on the guest, but I think it should be installed also on the host system

This is the screenshot of my terminal while running a Debian VM

can you confirm that installing spice on bot host and guest solves the issue?

[newyorkthink]

not i miss same bug that it show for your terminal my answer have error

this is right: now i same bug that it show for like your terminal

[newyorkthink]

your built the box appimage is perfect i think it complete 90% and the finally problem just driver redireaction.

[ivan-hc]

yes, its difficult to implement USB support in this kind of Appimage, we have seen this also in VirtualBox

[ivan-hc]

can you fork this repo and try toadd changes by yourself? Maybe we can try to fix the issues together.
