Yes, found it eventually, thanks!

 

I already opened a thread for a similar issue, so apologies if this souds repetitive, but I think this expands enough that it's worth its own post. I'd open a bug, but there's no documentation on Nura's website afaics on how to do that.

I'm trying to test Nura's OS installer, available at this page: https://images.nura.eco/bpo/edge/generic-x86_64/os-installer/ to then install Nura on some old computers. Initially I downloaded the image and added it as a cd-rom in qemu, but it wouldn't boot from there. After some other tests, someone on Nura's Matrix channel said that it may not work on qemu because of... something, so I decided to try and flash it on a usb stick with Balena as explained here: https://wiki.nura.eco/wiki/OS_Installer (worth noting the the wiki already calls the images Nura-*.img, but they are still -postmarketOS-.img) and booting it on my laptop. However, the boot fails in this case as well, so definitely the image is not capable of booting. I tried both 20261009-1342 and 20261002-1243 images, and both fail.

Can someone look into it, or at least tell me how to open a proper bug so that it reaches the developers?

I tried the newest one from the second of October, but it also doesn't boot. I'll try to open a bug at this point I guess.

Those CPUs are x64, but more importantly at the moment I'm trying to install it on a virtual machine on my 1 year old laptop, which is definitely x64 :D

You're right that I didn't select it there, but when the no bootable media found showed up I opened up the boot manager and selected the QEMU DVD-ROM, but with no luck. Regardless, now I enabled it, but it still won't boot.

 

Hello, I'm considering Nura for a couple of VERY old PCs (AMD Athlon XP old) to serve as public clients in a local library. Before doing that, I wanted to test the installer and the system in general on a virtual machine managed with virt-manager. I downloaded the installer image (20260925-1250-postmarketOS-edge-os-installer-10-generic-x86_64-lts.img), which the documentation says can be flashed on a usb stick with balena etcher and the like to install the OS, and I "inserted" it in the CD drive of the VM. However, when I switch on the VM it says that no bootable media is present. I'm not aware of etcher adding booting files to a flash, so I was expecting the image to be bootable. How can I do this? I know that qemu images exist, but I want to test the installer myself.

Thank you in advance to everyone who'll reply.
