qm subpackage - qm_mount_bind_tty7 (XServer or Wayland)

[dougsland]

/dev/tty7 is typically the virtual terminal associated with the graphical user interface (GUI) on Linux systems. It is where the X server or the Wayland display server usually runs, handling the graphical display, input, and windowing environment. When you start a graphical session (such as GNOME, KDE, etc.), it usually runs on this virtual console. This patch mount bind /dev/tty7 to QM container and also to the nested containers.

Just run: make qm_dropin_mount_bind_tty7
