I tried to run the latest version, QEMU kept saying "no bootable disk" #19

I tried IMG, and the 2 ISO methods.

Oh, that's unfortunate. Please make sure you are using the correct method for the correct image file type.

If you downloaded the .img image file the following command must be used:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -machine q35,accel=kvm \
  -cpu host \
  -m 1G \
  -name glaucus \
  -drive file=glaucus-s6-x86-64-v3-20231002.img,format=raw \
  -display gtk,gl=on \
  -vga qxl \
  -rtc base=localtime

And if you downloaded the .iso image file, then the following command must be used for BIOS/MBR boot:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -machine q35,accel=kvm \
  -cpu host \
  -boot order=d \
  -m 1G \
  -name glaucus \
  -cdrom glaucus-s6-x86-64-v3-20231002.iso \
  -display gtk,gl=on \
  -vga qxl \
  -rtc base=localtime

And if you want to boot the .iso image file with UEFI/GPT, then run the following command:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -machine q35,accel=kvm \
  -cpu host \
  -boot order=d \
  -m 1G \
  -name glaucus \
  -cdrom glaucus-s6-x86-64-v3-20231002.iso \
  -display gtk,gl=on \
  -vga qxl \
  -rtc base=localtime \
  -bios /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF.fd

I am sure, I also asked a friend of mine to try with VMware, I gave him the link to this repo, and he's a sysadmin, I doubt he's mistaken too. I also tried with OVMF, both complained about the IMG and ISO not being valid.

I didn't work on Boxes, which I tried in a flatpak because my system is Musl and not Glibc, but it didn't work neither, I used the commands provided in the releases but also tried from scratch when those didn't work.

I appreciate your feedback on this. Can you specify in detail what image file type did you use and what command(s) did you run?

firasuke commented 9 months ago

Just a quick check, did you decompress the image file type before running it?

xplshn commented 9 months ago

Of course, I used the command you provided in the release

firasuke commented 9 months ago

Of course, I used the command you provided in the release

I see.

Can you please link to the release you used? and what commands did you run?

firasuke commented 9 months ago

@xplshn You are correct, I have simplified the decompression instruction to only use zstd instead of tar and zstd, and I forgot that for this release I used tar.

The decompression command should be:

tar --use-compress-program 'zstd -d -T0 --long=31' -xvf glaucus-s6-x86-64-v3-20231002.img.zst -C .

This has been fixed for upcoming releases, thanks for reporting it for this release though.
