Bug Report: Running Daedalus 6.5.1.1 in a Qemu virtual machine

[myke]

I ran Daedalus in a qemu command line virtual machine (using vmware as the video driver, which is not available with virt-manager) not as an sfs in a container, but as an img directly. The good news is that the resolution I could choose is 1280 x 720, which in full screen mode gives me the normal screen a user would see if the system was booted up from a USB device or hard disk. It is useful to know that alt+ctl+f is a toggle between a full screen and a display with a menu and alt+ctl+g is a toggle for controlling the keyboard and mouse and touchscreen between the host and guest (not operable in a full screen).

I discovered that it is not optimal to boot up as a full screen as the display is distorted and the fonts are overly large. So,it is imperative before leaving the OS to toggle off the full screen.

I was able to have access to the internet as a simulated ethernet connection. With the connection operable I was able to access pets and sfs to download and install from PKGget and SFSget, respectively.

My bug report concerns Appi and Flappi. I get the message that there is no internet connection, which is obviously not the case.

Another bug is that I am unable to remove Claws Mail (I use Thunderbird for English Gmail accounts and Betterbird for my French-language Gmail account) as it does not appear in the list of items to remove from the list of builtin packages.

Appi and Flapi use ping to test if an internet connection:

Code: Select all

# ping -4 -c 1 -w 8 google.com
# echo $?

...what happens if you try this in a terminal?

I get from the initial ping:
PING google.com (142.250.69.46): 56 data bytes

--- google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
From the echo $?
1
I have a virtual environment with an older version of Daedalus (6.4.4) where Flappi and Appi are working, so will do the same.

1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 24.615/24.615/24.615 ms

From the echo $?
0

After some experimentation, here is what I found (to the best of my very limited knowledge). I now see that with the qemu command line as I put it together, I am unable to get access to pinging and thus to flappi and appi. However, I was able to do so via virt-manager with this release. I also noted that the virt-manager app can circumvent the 720 height limit. The only problem that surfaced with virt-manager was the two appi's (KOReader and OnlyOffice) I tried to install had corrupted downloads, and I am not sure where the problem lies. So the bug was with my use of qemu, not easyos-daedalus-6.5.5.1.
