BLINUX 4.0 EL TIGRE - Virtual Machine How-To

#Steps

  1. Download openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 ISO https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation
  2. Download every latest .rpm here, except exam ones https://pkg.blinux.fr/blinux/el_tigre/noarch/
  3. Boot onto the openSUSE ISO && install it
    • do a classic install
    • skip user creation
    • select server/text mode
  4. Once openSUSE installed, get the .rpm fileson the vm disk (use ssh, wget, or curl...)
  5. Add the BLINUX repository to zypper using zypper ar -p 150 https://pkg.blinux.fr/opensuse/update/13.2/openSUSE:13.2:Update.repo
  6. Refresh packages using zypper refresh
  7. Replace openSUSE with BLINUX zypper install *.rpm
    • when zypper asks you whenever a conflict occur, uninstall openSUSE package, & replace it with the BLINUX one
  8. Reboot
  9. If no lightdm, you need to tweak some systemd config
    • Make the /etc/systemd/system/default.target symlink point to /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
  10. Reboot
  11. Go to a tty, or else log as root & open a terminal
  12. Type blinux-setup & do the setup like you usually do on the dump
  13. Done!

With this type of installation, is there a way to "pkcon update" ?

Without that, this VM works very well !

@leo-lab well you're root on this virutal machine, if you want to update packages, do it with zypper ;)

Try sudo zypper update
