Problems with QtEmu

Hi,
I'm using QtEmu to emulate Windows 8.
I have two problems:

1. I can't assign more than 1 GM RAM to the virtual machine. Has this something to do, that I don't have a swap partition? I have 8 GB RAM, I think, that should be enough...
2. I enabled the networking checkbox, but it doesn't work. I can't access internet with Windows 8.

Any ideas?

Thx in advance!

Re: Problems with QtEmu

I am also unable to set more the 1GB of RAM for any VM using QtEmu.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

This is the only place I have found that mentions the same problem. Does anybody else know of a solution? Is it something to do with Qt shared memory limits?

Re: Problems with QtEmu

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but in case anyone is looking for an answer to the memory issue:

QtEmu stores the configuration for the virtual machines in .qte files, which really are nothing more than XML files which can be edited with any regular text editor. To expand the RAM available to any machine then, open the corresponding .qte file and edit the <memory> tag to the desired value in megabytes.

Example:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE qtemu>
<qtemu version="1.0">
    <machine>
        ...
        <memory>3072</memory>
        ...
    </machine>
</qtemu>

Re: Problems with QtEmu

Thanks for sharing, however given the age of the thread and qtemu, I doubt OP is going to care much anymore.

Closing this old topic.
