On the plus side, everything seemed really snappy in the live environment

I’ve used the bluefin stable Intel/AMD ISO to install in VM and I can confirm success. I used UEFI mode when installing with flatpak virtmanager. All worked great, even secure boot was good since I caught the MOK screen to type the password.
Problems noticed:
- some missing images/icons within the installer app
- Maybe I didn’t pay close attention, but I didn’t notice the MOK password during install though I know it’s in the docs
I plan to test nvidia on bare metal also.
Which ISO did you use? Link?
I didn’t see a DX option.
Both of these are fixed now on the new ISOs, we’ve just refreshed them actually

The one Jorge posted above. The dx is my daily driver (that the mouse works on).

Do you mind testing if the -latest ISO works with ur mouse? Maybe its something on the kernel or whatever https://download.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-live-nvidia-open-latest-amd64.iso
Sure, no problem.

Thank you I misread the message where you referenced DX
Yeah so we’re thinking of not doing DX ISOs since we’ve moved a bunch of stuff off the image.
We’re thinking of just fixing ujust devmode to have the user in the right groups automatically so it’s a one reboot process instead of two. Then turning on developer mode is much smoother so that we can cut down our artifact generation in half, it’ll simplify the image picker, etc.

The mouse didn’t work.

I also plugged it directly into my box, in case the hubs were an issue, but it still didn’t work.
Fresh ISOs coming right now: Build ISOs (Live) · ublue-os/bluefin@bed0d09 · GitHub
These will automatically refresh daily at 1am UTC so people can test every day if you want. Not sure about the mouse, that’s strange lol.

They are complete underpowered crap but I love them anyway. Watch this space for a lightweight spin of bluefin optimised for them! If you know why audio is super choppy for certain apps and how to fix it please DM me!

install alsa-ucm-cros
I set Virt Manager to use UEFI x86_64 /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE_4M.qcow2 firmware, and was able to install in a VM.
A couple of few things:
- After installation (stable), and when I start setup, when I enable 3rd party repos and click next, the VM reboots. The next time through it does not reboot, so I assume this is expected behavior. I think a notice here that the machine will reboot would be helpful, as users might think it is stuck in a boot loop otherwise.
- The first time I got to the user setup screen, my keyboard did not work in the VM. I reset the VM, stepped through Location and 3rd party again, and this time I can use the keyboard to enter my user name.
I might have missed it, but I didn’t see an option to change keyboard layouts. This would be important for e.g. Dvorak and non-US keyboard users.Fixed in latest, along with timezone setting.
Switching to dev mode and having a play now.
Edit: authentication is asked for for each of docker, incus-admin, lxd, and libvirt.

The VM should not reboot at all, no idea what happened there. We are actually trying to fix this right now, see: Installation Experience Board · GitHub
I think this might be fixed by this once its implemented, not particularly sure what may be causing this issue.
during the install process the links point to ultramarine linux and not bluefin. IE, “get to know bluefin” points to the ultramarine webpage. Not sure if this was noticed already.
Yup, it’s a known issue, we’ll be adding a way for downstreams to change those links.
I’ve updated the stable ISO links to point to stable-daily, that way there are fresh ISOs every day which include a daily snapshot of Readymade. EDIT: these are busted, changing them back.
Should make confirming fixes much easier!
