GoboLinux 017.01 Known Issues and Fixes

Installation in a VM

In a VM environment, installing GoboLinux’ bootloader onto a GPT partion currently fails. Please set up MBR partitioning!

On bare metal systems GPT partitions worked fine in our testing (if in doubt, configure your bootloader manually).

Some problems have been reported by our users and are currently being fixed by our team. They are:

Copy-and-paste does not work out of the box from a VM. Compiling spice-vdagent and loading its daemon should fix that.
Sometimes when trying to Compile an already-installed Program, the build process will fail (see Compile bug 51). Sometimes this can be worked around by first manually doing a RemoveProgram <failing program> before re-attempting to Compile it. Note that it is generally a Bad Idea™ to try to RemoveProgram, say, Python3 like this as it will break Compile.
ContributePackage is not working – use ContributeRecipe instead.
