Usage
First, install pmbootstrap.
$ pmbootstrap init # Choose device "qemu-amd64"
$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap qemu
See pmbootstrap qemu --help
for more options. For example the default memory allocation is only 1024, which may not be enough for modern desktop environments.
Network
Qemu's user mode network stack is used. With all UIs except for none
, postmarketOS should run a DHCP client on boot that automatically connects to QEMU's DNS server and as a result you should have network available. Note that ICMP (ping) may not work depending on your host (see QEMU's documentation for details).
If you selected none
as user interface and don't have network, do one of the following:
a) Select the UI console
instead. It is slightly bigger and will automatically start a DHCP client.
b) Use pmbootstrap install --add=networkmanager
.
c) Run Alpine's setup tools in the TTY prompt to generate a /etc/network/interfaces
file for ifupdown-ng
and bring up eth0
manually:
$ sudo setup-interfaces
$ sudo ifup eth0
Audio
Audio is disabled by default. To enable audio, select an audio backend (usually pa
for PulseAudio or alsa
for ALSA), and pass:
$ pmbootstrap qemu --audio pa
Rootfs location
You could find postmarketOS rootfs image at ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/chroot_native/home/pmos/rootfs
.
