Open a virtual machine. Create a new disk. Run ToriOS Live. Load ToriOS.
Go to terminal. Type: *obi-readme*
There appears to be a library missing. I tried installing it earlier,
but the network issue stopped me.

Hi Sam,

1. How should I do the reproduce the error of the obi-readme program?

2. The help text of the zmktbl is not updated for ToriOS. You are very
welcome to improve it.

Best regards
Nio

Hi Samuel,

1. It works for me in the daily Ubuntu based version uploaded March 15.

2. I updated/dist-upgraded it (the live session) and after that the bug hit me: [the pdf reader] evince is missing the library libSM.so.6

The daily Ubuntu based version uploaded March 18 lacks internet connection, so I skipped it. Maybe the bug was introduced there, but what is more important, this bug affects the 'latest and greatest version' available from the repositories and PPAs.

Best regards
Nio
Thanks Nio!
I will look into this.
I think the documentation for zmktbl extra addition of XZ compression is not extremely improtant anyhow... it pops up and asks if you want to do it first.
