Hi Nio,
Using 'fish' originally I had copied your 2 lines of command and pasted
them into my terminal; what I didn't notice at first was that it
detected EOL after the '>' due to the copied 2 line statement from your
email. I cleaned it up and it works fine in 'fish' now too.
On with a bit more testing later today. All explained now. 😊
Cheers,
JackT.

Hi Nio,
I tried xzcat and xz in a terminal, all on one line, but it kept failing
with that error msg and the original file was left with 0 bytes. So
that was odd I thought. Btw, my host OS is Arch/LXDE.
I've got round that by opening the .vdi.xz file in my file manager and
successfully extracted the .vdi file that way.
Thanks for your help. I've now got it up and running in my VB.
JackT.

Hi Jack,
You were probably tricked by the email client, that made two lines of
the one-line command:
just to illustrate:
xzcat file.vdi.xz > file.vdi
So if you use the following as one line, it should work.
xzcat dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz >
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
-o-
Or am I misunderstanding? Do you mean that VirtualBox does not recognize
the extracted vdi file?
After extraction md5sum should show
$ md5sum dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
ac4cd66df2fe8ccd7cd0f495c0bdea9f dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
and ls -l shows
$ ls -l dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nio nio 2006974464 nov 25 11:40
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
(approx. 2 GB, so I prefer to distribute it compressed).
It works with my VirtualBox (in Lubuntu Xenial). Please tell if you are
still having problems.
Best regards
Nio

Hi Nio,
I downloaded the .vdi.xz file, ran md5sum with success, but using xzcat
or xz on the .vdi.xz file I'm getting "File format not recognised".
Any ideas?
Cheers,
JackT.

Hi,
Israel helped me to make a test system for ToriOS based on Ubuntu
Trusty. I am testing it now, and I intend to make
- a tarball for the OBI installer in ToriOS 1.0 and
- a compressed image file for mkusb, so that you can install it easily
and take part in the testing.
- I'll try to make a vdi file for VirtualBox too.
-o-
I made it in my Toshiba laptop with Intel i5 processor and Intel
graphics (where it works of course). I tested it in the following
computers:
IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M - it works but needs the boot option
forcepae in order to upgrade the kernel.
Dell Dimension 4600 with Pentium 4 - it works
Motherboard M2NVM_DVI with AMD Athlon (64-bit) - it works
Intel NUC6i3SYH - the system works, but not the internet, the computer
is too new.
Best regards
Nio
Hi toriosadores,
*Files to install ToriOS-Trusty to test what Israel develops*
Now I have uploaded two tarballs, a compressed image file and a
compressed virtual disk image. You find them and their md5sums at
http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/torios/01_Test_Tarballs/
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.img.xz # install with mkusb
ToriTrustyTest01_by-OBI-in-Trusty.tar.xz # tarball for 'my' OBI
ToriTrustyTest01_by-ToriOS-debian.tar.xz # tarball for ToriOS 1.0
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz # disk for VirtualBox
Three of the files can be used as they are by mkusb and the two OBI
versions. The vdi.xz file must be expanded before it is used with
VirtualBox,
xzcat dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz >
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
Connect the vdi file to a virtual machine and boot ToriOS. You should be
able to update & upgrade it with Israel's new versions in order to test
them.
I had very low resolution in VirtualBox, only 640x480, until I set
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
and ran
sudo update-grub. See the attached screenshot. After reboot the
resolution increased to 1024x768. (I did not install any guest additions.)
Happy testing :-)
Nio
