Package repositories for 2.2.0

[coolcoder613eb]

Is there a package repository for 2.2.0 x86_64 and aarch64?
Can I build it myself?

[klange]

2.2.0 uses the same package repository as 2.0.x: http://toaruos.org/msk/2.0.x/

There is no centralized source repository for ports, and building them is not an automated process.

Some are on my Github: https://github.com/klange?tab=repositories

Others are in the toaruos org: https://github.com/orgs/toaruos/repositories

Some others are built directly from upstream source packages without modifications.

I am not able to access those packages from x86_64 or aarch64 ToaruOS in QEMU on my M1 Mac.

There are multiple mirrors configured for the package repository. If you are unable to reach any of them, you likely have a network configuration which the OS can not handle. If you are using the 2.2.0 release builds, you should try a newer CI build, as one particularly notable DNS resolver issue was only fixed after that release.

Is it possible to run ToaruOS on my raspberry pi 4?
I have booted it on hardware before, most recently on a Thinkpad T430.

Builds for the RPi4 are available, but they still lack necessary input device drivers for the OS to be useful.

I usually boot from USB on my rpi, is that supported?
Also, is there a command-line only version of ToaruOS?

The RPi4 build of the OS is provided as a kernel8.img file. Loading that is up to you. I do not actively provide any support for the RPi4 build as it remains experimental.

Also, is there a command-line only version of ToaruOS?

The bootloader on the x86-64 CD provides options for booting to VGA text mode, headless (a login session is started on a serial port), and to boot into the graphical environment with a full-screen terminal.

Headless configurations can also be attained for the aarch64 builds when running in QEMU by changing the provided command line (the -append argument to QEMU - change the start=live-session parameter to start=--headless and a login session will run on the first serial port). The RPi build has a hardcoded command-line that starts the desktop.

Can you please share your VM configuration, and also the results of ifconfig within the OS?

Also the contents of /etc/resolv.conf in the OS.

[coolcoder613eb]

Command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom image-2.iso -vga cirrus -smp 4 -m 3G -netdev user,id=net -device e1000,netdev=net

/etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 10.0.2.3

Ifconfig:

ping 8.8.8.8 works.

[klange]

Does it take ~2s for the "timed out" error to be printed?

[coolcoder613eb]

Yes

[klange]

You can try updating /etc/resolv.conf to point to an external DNS resolver directly. It sounds like the local DNS on your host system is not responding to the queries the VM is making.

Working now, thanks.
How can I make it persistent?
