Hi, I wanted to install parabola with MATE desktop in a virtual machine
using virt-manager on Trisquel. I found that using a Virtio emulated
disk drive didn't work for parabola install.sh off-hand, because it
searches for /dev/sdX only (and not for /dev/vdX).
Upon modifying line 11 of install.sh to "aux=$(ls /dev/vd?)", I was able
to install parabola successfully in the virtual machine without any issues.
https://git.parabola.nu/packages/parabolaiso.git/tree/configs/mate/root-image/root/.scriptsInstallation/language/en/install.sh
Perhaps it would be worthwhile in-future, modifying that script to
somehow also automatically search for /dev/vdX as well as /dev/sdX so
that people wishing to install in a virtual machine, to test parabola
MATE, can do so successfully without manual modification?
