Issues with making EasyOS run (in a virtual machine)

Hi all, :wave:

in the meantime I posted the install issue on Barry Kauler´s forum ( EasyOS 32-bit Dunfell-series version 4.3.2 - Puppy Linux Discussion Forum ) and after a bit of work I got EasyOS running in my vm:

  • note: good instructions here: How to write EasyOS to a flash drive
  • Debian10 is already installed in the vm (virt-manager/qemu/kvm)
  • I downloaded easydd from http://bkhome.org/files/easydd.gz , unpacked it and set the correct permissions. Easydd is a frontend for dd. It´s a clever script as it turned out :wink:
  • performing sudo ./easydd easy-4.3-4-amd64.img (the script asked about the drive I wanted to write to beforehand)
  • so this isn´t going to work with ventoy (at least not for the latest version of EasyOS).
    Therefore I needed a dedicated stick for EaysOS alone.
  • After the write was complete I chose in the settings of my Debian vm: “add device”
  • I chose “USB host-device” and from the popup menu the respective stick
  • in “boot options” this is the boot order: the usb-stick - VirtIO - NIC
  • ( topic also dealt with in Virt-manager: redirection of USB-stick )
  • the vm boots EasyOS from the stick

All that worked well in the end :slightly_smiling_face: .

Yet the running EasyOS presents another problem:

I cannot connect to the internet. :frowning_face:

Although EasyOS is supposed to automatically recognize available network devices it doesn´t seeem to…

When running Debian in the vm it automatically connects to the virtual LAN. BodhiLinux as well. So theoretically there shouldn´t be any problems. :thinking:

No idea why EasyOS cannot do the same…:question:

Many greetings from Rosika :slightly_smiling_face:
