Re: Truncated EasyOS Kirkstone won't work in Ventoy USB stick
I think by "truncate" they mean using the truncate command to extend the size of the file. Counterintuitively, the truncate command can be used to extend a file by specifying a size larger than the file you're "truncating". So basically they're doing the equivalent of making a disk image file and ...

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
WOW IT WORKED!
I just went in to each container's config file, removed the "EC_ACCESS_DRI=true" lines, saved changes, and now the containerized apps work. Firefox, sakura, dunfell, all work in QEMU now. It makes perfect sense why that works. Thank you so much!

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
Just an idea, without conviction. In the configuration file of the container, verify that the DRI that provides hardware accelerated graphics is disabled For example for the container dunfell, the configuration file is /mnt/wkg/containers/dunfell/configuration . Normally the line starting by EC ...

Re: Containerized apps fail to launch when using VESA graphics?
Great that Easy is running on a Chromebook! I often think that I will buy a Chromebook one day, so as to explore running Easy on it, maybe in that Crostini infrastructure. Old, expired Chromebooks should work pretty well - there's a guy who makes custom firmware for them that lets you use them as ...

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
Yeah, I tried Cirrus VGA but the driver for it in Easy seems to be ignored for some reason. I get to a working console, run xorgwizard, try to use the modesetting driver, and it fails with "(EE) no screens found(EE)". Interestingly, with Cirrus, even the VESA driver fails. When I use -vga std, I ...

Containerized apps fail to launch when using VESA graphics?
OK, so earlier I made a post on how to run EasyOS in QEMU. It works, but oddly enough all of the containerized apps aren't working. Attempting to launch "www" or "term" fails silently - I see that my click is registered, but no window pops up, not even after a long time of waiting. Clicking on ...

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
Alright, I have indeed verified that it is the vesa graphics that mess up the containers - when I boot my Chromebook with vesa graphics, the containers fail to launch again.
So, now the question is how to get non-vesa graphics in a QEMU VM.

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
Adding "-cpu host" to the QEMU commandline had no effect that I could see.

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with the containers in a VM - if I click on the containerized Firefox or terminal, the click registers but it appears to do nothing. I also tried figuring out the command line used to launch each one (I think the firefox one was "ec-chroot-firefox"), and running ...

Re: Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
NOTE: OK so the above setup does allow EasyOS to boot, but something's awry with it - I can't launch any containerized apps. Non-containerized ones launch just fine. I just flashed EasyOS to an SD card and booted it on a Chromebook with MrChromebox firmware installed, and containerized apps work ...

Installing EasyOS in a QEMU VM
I was talking to someone earlier today about EasyOS and they mentioned that they had a hard time getting it to work in a VM. So I downloaded it, played with it a bit, and managed to get it running. It did give me a bit of trouble, but after a couple of tries I had it working pretty good, so I'm ...

Re: How to update software/Vivaldi in Puppy Linux?
I'm somewhat disturbed that Puppy Linux would not keep itself constantly updated, considering the fact that it contains software that accesses the Internet like a Web browser. Is there some method for dealing with security vulnerabilities that I don't know about? (btw, I think Puppy Linux is very ...
