Hades Canyon, good idea?
by Richard Thornton
Hi All,
I have decided to use my Hades Canyon as a Linux graphical workstation.
Has anyone tried to install CL on there?
I love the CL rolling release!
4.18 is getting close, does it make sense to wait till that gets into CL?
Thanks.

I would like to conduct a survey to understand how developers perceive the Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, especially from contributors to Linux distributions and BSD families. So please consider voicing your opinion by allowing us up to 5 minutes to complete our short survey.

Nested KVM support
by Christian Bourque
Hi,
I'm trying to run Clear Linux in a VM on the Proxmox hypervisor (KVM). For
that I've used the Clear Linux KVM image and I managed to make it run
successfully.
But on the first boot I noticed this kernel message on the console: "kvm:
no hardware support". I was a bit stumped since everything seemed to be
working correctly. So I started digging around and I found this page on the
Clear Linux web site to check processor compatibility:
https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/compatibilit...
Here's the output of the script (executed on the host where the hypervisor
is running):
root@host:~/tmp# ./clear-linux-check-config.sh host
Checking if host is capable of running Clear Linux* OS for Intel®
Architecture
SUCCESS: 64-bit CPU (lm)

FAIL: Nested KVM support
It seems that nested virtualization is required to run Clear Linux inside a
container (VM?)!
Could somebody explain why? What kinds of limitations can I expect if
hardware-assisted virtualization isn't exposed to the guest os?
Thanks

After the installation, the system has been configured to start with Weston UI on xwayland on boot. Firefox can be launched from a weston terminal. After the firefox window is showed, system will freeze when trying to drag the firefox window with the PC mouse, or click on the address bar for address input. The error didn’t happen with Firefox in GDM environment.
