Can I install Kali in KVM and run this VM in Kicksecure live-mode? Or live-mode can’t start my VMs from persistent-mode
It’s untested. Hence unsupported.
Try your luck.
Holy shit! It works! Unbelievable. Fix user’s rights in live mode and it will be the perfect OS. Guys, I will make you a donation from next salary and tell all my friends about Kicksecure. You are the best!
Goodbye Qubes
I can’t start the VM in live-mode
VD: error VERR_DISK_FULL opening image file ‘/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/Whonix-Workstation-Xfce/temp-disk002.vdi’ (VERR_DISK_FULL).
Failed to open image ‘/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/Whonix-Workstation-Xfce/temp-disk002.vdi’ in read-write mode (VERR_DISK_FULL).
AHCI: Failed to attach drive to Port0 (VERR_DISK_FULL).
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Do I need to increase size of virtual disk to run VMs in live mode?
This isn’t a known issue, no.
But if you’re running on low disk space then it could coincidentally be triggered by running live mode.
This is about the host disk being full. Not the VM disk. The VM disk doesn’t result in a host error popup. You get faster help by just just pasting such error messages into search engines.
Kicksecure launches VM in live mode if live-disk is large. I’ve mounted a large disk and my VMs are going. It would be cool if VM-disks were not copied to live-disk in future updates
No improvements planned. I wouldn’t know how to implement this. To understand what I mean, I have written a Simplified grub-live Summary just now.
The most important part of that:
In summary, the most heavy lifting is done by the initramfs generator (initramfs-tools or dracut) and the Linux kernel. grub-live only implements usability (grub boot menu entry) and documentation.
So for any bug reports / feature requests, you would need to contact upstream (dracut and/or Linux) directly.
By “random chance”, whatever issue you’re experiencing may or may not one day when grub-live is ported to 90overlayfs. See Development.
