I'm not sure this is the place to post but I don't have any other options.
I followed the instructions for the install pen drive creation and got it to run but was given no choice for a drive to install on. It chose the hard drive without telling me, wiped the drive and failed to install anything leaving me with a boat anchor. I had to install Windows 10, as there was no recovery partition left from the original 8.1 install.
The live image fails to boot.
So far I can't say I'm very impressed.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm unable to start KVM VMs (without OpenStack) anymore as virsh 'could
not find capabilities for arch=x86_64'.
```
$ virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using API: QEMU 1.3.1
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error: Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64
```
Of course, libvirtd is running and my standard user (clruser) belongs
to the following groups:
```
$ id
uid=1000(clruser) gid=1000(clruser)
groups=1000(clruser),200(qemu),201(kvm),203(libvirt)
```
Clear Linux version:
```
# cat /usr/share/clear/version
6470
```
Clear Linux Bundles installed so far:
```
# ls /usr/share/clear/bundles/
containers-basic
kernel-native
kvm-host
os-core
os-core-update
os-utils
os-utils-gui
```
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Not through the UI. However, this can be done manually by editing the ister.service file inside the image and adding an Environment line (example below). If you have the image on a usbkey this is very easy – just insert the usbkey and modify the ister.service file on the second partition, which most linuxen do automatically for you these days. You could also modify the image in-place.
My workflow for cracking images open is:
* sudo losetup -f -P --show installer.img
* sudo mount /dev/loopXp02 /mnt
* <make changes here>
* sudo umount /mnt
* sudo losetup –D
Using /mnt as your mount point, the service file is /mnt/usr/lib/systemd/service/ister.service
Example service file with Environment config line below. Should only need https proxy but you can set multiple env vars as shown below…

Is there a way to enter a proxy for the installer?

Hi All,
How the cgroup option passed from the docker to the container?
Is it really set, is it supported in the recent release of clear containers?
I mean to say --cgroup-parent=
Please let me know.
Regards,
Pradeep
Well crap. Yes, it seems to be there, working away. Now off to diagnose my container problems.
Thanks, Auke!

I just attempted to use this very image, and got the same error message. However, looking at your logs, and at mine, I can see that the installation was successful. After removing the stick and rebooting, my system is functioning properly.
Have you rebooted and tried to use the system?

Hi,
As Auke has stated, the depgraph for these various greeters poses the
biggest issues.
So far evaluated:
lightdm: Has only GTK3 and WebKit greeters, neither are suitable
lxdm: Pretty much dead, and upstream is moving to Qt with LXQt effort.
Qt greeters are out of scope here.
I have another couple of lighter options in mind, and I'll report back
when I've found something that is both suitable maintained/maintainable,
and matches the workflow

Hi all,
I'm still intenting to setup an environment, where I would like to run
virtual machines with QEMU-KVM (independently of OpenStack), with Clear
Linux installed natively.
As Clear Linux QEMU now supports SPICE, it would be nice to add a SPICE
viewer (spicec) or even better, full virt-manager <http://virt-manager.
org/> support in order to manage KVM VMs through a GUI.
What do you think?
