windows starts after 20/30 seconds after container has been started

[toni-moreno]

Hi @everybody I'm running windows image as described in this repo ( rigth now outside selenoid running command with a CI/CD tool) and recording with selenoid/video-recorder, I've noted that qemu starts too late as you can see in this video.

VIDEO

When the CI/CD tool execute docker with windows image this output is shown.

Waiting xvfb...

As I can see everything is working correctly. Performance depends on hardware and resources available for the container. Please note that qemu starts virtual machine with windows it takes some time, 20 sec is good result... вс, 24 нояб. 2019 г., 12:53 Toni Moreno <[email protected]>:

Hi @aandryashin , thank you for the fast response.

I've been comparing with my laptop where vm start takes 1 or 2 seconds... is because of that I believed that is not as good result as you say. Anyway I was wondering about "TSC frequency " errors , and if this could impact on the vm start time and if there is any way to accelerate with the docker run command or qemu parameters.

I never seen that vm starts in one second, especially on laptop... Those warnings are about cpu capabilities, you can play with qemu options to enable/disable some of them... вс, 24 нояб. 2019 г., 20:15 Toni Moreno <[email protected]>:
