[ARM] Cannot install in UTM - halts after selection
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
Hello, I have an M-based MacBook Pro and trying to try out Trisquel in a VM.
Anyone had luck with running ARM Trisquel in a UTM VM or another VM solution?
After selecting the installer, or the graphical installer, the VM halts and I cannot see any output. Which is strange. Any ideas why?
I cannot find the iso in https://trisquel.info/en/download so I am guessing ARM is just not supported? Not sure.
I obtained the iso from https://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images which is `trisquel-netinst_11.0.1_arm64.iso`.
Hello!
Architectures like arm64/hf, ppc64el are still very unexplored.
There are some successful installations out there, but it is very device depending if it would install or not.

Perhaps you would like to test the latest arm64 netinstall (text installer), as it might include some improvements over the 11.0.1. If you would, you could use something like this:
tar_netinstall="debian-installer-images_20250701+12.0trisquel18.10.testing_arm64.tar.gz"
here=$PWD
wget https://builds.trisquel.org/debian-installer-images/"$tar_netinstall" -P /tmp/
tar --wildcards -zxvf "/tmp/$tar_netinstall" \
"./installer-arm64/*/images/netboot/mini.iso" -O > \
$here/trisquel-netinst_12.0_arm64.iso
rm /tmp/"$tar_netinstall"
or manually download and extract the mini.iso file from the latest arm64 net install
look for the mini.iso at ./installer-arm64/*/images/netboot/mini.iso
If you would like to help us learn more about the support capabilities, you might consider joining the devel mailing list and sharing any feedback you gather during your testing. Hopefully, with some further investigation, you’ll find a way to get it running.
Regards.
Hi Ark74,
Not sure why I didn't get notified of the reply.
I downloaded `debian-installer-images_20250701+12.0trisquel18.10.testing_arm64.tar.gz` and I still get a black screen with `installer-arm64/20250701+12/images/netboot/mini.iso`.

The forum software is a bit (or a bunch) old so it lacks modern forum amenities :P

Oh, that's unfortunate.
If you want to continue the discussion and look into more details I extend the invitation to join the development mailing list (listed on the right side bar).
Regards.
