arya on VM always boots into the iso first...
 

been test driving arya for a couple of days.
FYI i use multiple windowmanagers for y host system.

everytime i fire up aQemu to start arya, it boots into the iso from which i installed. i simply reboot and without any further work, it boots into Saavan thats on the virtual hdd. [when i detach the iso, it returns with msg boot medium not found]

i didnt take it seriously thinking it must be that every windowmanager issue... but now i feel, is it a bug or is it just me getting such errors....

furthermore, i notice that the mouse freezes and so does the keyboard. no other option but to cold shutdown...

ive alloted 1.5GB to arya... hope that is ok ?

last but not least, fusilli seems to crash even after i set it on auto start.... [may be fusilli on vm crashes due to lack of resources?]

Change the boot order for any and try again. 1.5gb RAM should be fine. I've run arya on 1 GB RAM and it ran fine. Was on virtualbox though. I've not used qemu but there must be some way to specify the boot order. That should help.

no result
 

in vbox, i am unable to get a resolution beyond 640x480
in aqemu, 1280x720 resolution is good and thats what is needed on the VM. now i dont know how to do it in aqemu as its my first hand use of aqemu front end gui.

finally when i delete the file [detach it from aqemu], t fails to boot with "no boot medium found" msg... so for arya to boot off aqemu, i have to boot twice !

another question... is there an alternative browser ? epiphany failed to install. firefox freezes and i need to test with alternative. perhaps palemoon OR lightfirefox OR midori may be an option in the scripts ?

part success
 

i was able to boot into saavan direct. i needed to configure aqemu to boot from hdd first !

but the freeze is a problem. i cant use arya for more than 5 minutes [approx]. and if i open firefox, it freezes the moment it starts to search ! i even cleaned up and went for fresh reinstall of arya from the installer [now its almost 15 times i tried to install xfce but it freezes midway rendering nothing but a cold shutdown ...

today i allocated 2 cpu to qemu-kvm, lets see what happens !
