[elbe-devel] Is elbe on Debian12 (bookworm) host already working?

[ew.foe at nassur.net]

Hello,

I have received a shiny new build server, and I decided to at least
try to run elbe (14.7 or master) on this system running
Debian 12 (bookworm).

I can see from the changelog, that this configuration is not yet
supported. It currently fails with the following error message after
successfully creating a initvm:

...

Is there a workaround possible? It seems to me that the exact command  
to call qemu needs some "help", but I don't see, where this is defined.
Any pointers? If the problem is deeper, I shall reinstall with Debian  
11 for the moment.


Cheers,
