fix: let nested-KVM vmlaunch succeed with Virtual NMIs
Self-test and Linux guest were failing VM-instruction error 7. Share a KVM-style control adjust, request PIN_VIRTUAL_NMIS, and stop intercepting guest #PF. Land isolated XNU/Python/KDE scaffolding off the boot path. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

# KDE Plasma guest rootfs
|
||||
|
||||
`build_extra_rootfs.sh` has two modes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Default (`KDE_FULL=0`): build the existing 1 GiB persistence volume.
|
||||
- Opt-in (`KDE_FULL=1`): use Arch `pacstrap` to build a complete KDE Plasma
|
||||
environment inside `linux-extra-rootfs.img`.
|
||||
|
||||
No KDE packages are downloaded unless `KDE_FULL=1` is explicitly set.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build
|
||||
|
||||
Run the full build from an Arch Linux environment with
|
||||
`arch-install-scripts`, working pacman mirrors, and a valid keyring:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pacman -S --needed arch-install-scripts
|
||||
sudo KDE_FULL=1 IMG_SIZE_MB=8192 \
|
||||
bash CODE/linux/build_extra_rootfs.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The default size for `KDE_FULL=1` is 8192 MiB. The complete
|
||||
`kde-applications-meta` suite can grow over time, so a larger value such as
|
||||
12288 MiB may be needed. Values below 8192 MiB are allowed but produce a
|
||||
warning.
|
||||
|
||||
Useful build settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
IMG_SIZE_MB=12288 image capacity in MiB
|
||||
EXTRA_ROOTFS_WORK=/native/fs native-Linux work directory
|
||||
KDE_PACSTRAP=/usr/bin/pacstrap
|
||||
KDE_PACMAN_CONF=/path/to/pacman.conf
|
||||
KDE_USER=deshab
|
||||
KDE_UID=1000
|
||||
KDE_EXTRA_PACKAGES="pkg1 pkg2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`KDE_PACMAN_CONF` can point at a project-controlled mirror/snapshot
|
||||
configuration when package-version reproducibility is required. Without it,
|
||||
the build intentionally follows the Arch host's current repositories and
|
||||
keyring.
|
||||
|
||||
The package set includes `plasma-meta`, the full
|
||||
`kde-applications-meta`, `plasma-workspace`, SDDM, Wayland, XWayland,
|
||||
Mesa/LLVM llvmpipe, Vulkan lavapipe (`vulkan-swrast`), D-Bus, systemd user
|
||||
units, input/seat support, portals, and Noto CJK/emoji fonts. Current Arch
|
||||
ships the Wayland session in `plasma-workspace`; the obsolete
|
||||
`plasma-wayland-session` package is intentionally not requested.
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage and attachment
|
||||
|
||||
The output remains:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
SYSTEM/boot/linux-extra-rootfs.img
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That path is the existing build staging convention, not a claim that the full
|
||||
image fits in the boot partition. A full KDE image must **not** be copied into
|
||||
the 2 GiB ESP or enabled as a large Limine boot module. It must later be backed
|
||||
by external storage and attached to the Linux guest through the existing
|
||||
virtio-blk extra-rootfs path (normally `/dev/vdc`). Transporting that large
|
||||
backing image is separate from this preparation script.
|
||||
|
||||
Allocate at least 4 GiB of guest RAM for Plasma; 6-8 GiB is preferable when
|
||||
running the complete application suite.
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting the session
|
||||
|
||||
The current guest mounts the extra volume at `/mnt/persist` while retaining
|
||||
its minimal read-only root. Start the prepared chroot from the guest console:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo /mnt/persist/usr/local/bin/deshab-kde-session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The launcher:
|
||||
|
||||
- bind-mounts `/dev`, `/proc`, `/sys`, and `/run` into the prepared root;
|
||||
- creates the user's `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` with safe ownership and permissions;
|
||||
- starts a private D-Bus session using Plasma's current Arch wrapper;
|
||||
- starts `startplasma-wayland` as the unprivileged `deshab` user;
|
||||
- defaults to Mesa llvmpipe/lavapipe software rendering; and
|
||||
- returns to the existing guest console on failure or logout.
|
||||
|
||||
Logs are written to:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
/mnt/persist/var/log/deshab-kde-session.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Software rendering can be disabled for a working accelerated virtual GPU:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo DESHAB_KDE_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=0 \
|
||||
/mnt/persist/usr/local/bin/deshab-kde-session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The image contains SDDM and systemd user-session support, but neither replaces
|
||||
the current custom guest PID 1. The prepared user selects Plasma's script-based
|
||||
startup fallback for that environment. SDDM is deliberately not enabled, so a
|
||||
broken graphical session cannot remove the guest console or Deshab native
|
||||
desktop fallback.
