Vbox will create a bridge with my wifi card (I’m a laptop user with no option for a wired nic in the host).
I’ve never been able to get kvm to do that and haven’t found any working instructions online that a simpleton like me can follow
So what is your suggestion for a viable alternative that auditors will also accept?
I don’t have a better answer for OP, but telling them to switch distros is also not answering their question at all.
I would highly recommend against installing a pirated version of Windows like BearOfATime suggests (at least via the second link he provided) - it could cause trouble for both you and your school.
There’s a docker image already that makes it easy to deploy and use, no compiling required.
Have you checked out Stirling-PDF?
This is why I prefer using Distrobox on my personal computer. No package for Signal-Desktop? No problem, run it through a Debian container using Distrobox.
Love their ‘terms of service’ and complete lack of privacy policy (at least for me, the link is not showing any policy). Whoever pays for this nonsense gets what they deserve.
I finally bought Tears of the Kingdom a few weeks ago, still working my way through it. I love just wandering around finding secrets, shrines and Koroks, although I just made it to the Wind Temple. I expect to spend a lot of time just in this game!
I don’t think it’s comparable to Amazon Linux even, it’s more infrastructure oriented. From the Wikipedia page:
CBL-Mariner is being developed by the Linux Systems Group at Microsoft for its edge network services and as part of its cloud infrastructure.[5] The company uses it as the base Linux for containers in the Azure Stack HCI implementation of Azure Kubernetes Service
Sounds like it’s better for you to ask now so you can decline the job if they’re a Windows only shop.
One thing I would recommend is using a note taking app to create snippets of fixes or personalization changes for your OS that you’ve made. For me that includes things like how to add my laptop’s webcam to the blacklist and other things that I’d need to spend time looking up since I don’t do them that often.
This is one of the reasons I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s been a solid distro for me.
Ah, looks like I should have used journalctl -b | grep stirling-pdf
A couple of reasons - I switched from Pop! OS to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and the Docker version in the repository is 24.07 compared to 25.02 (the current version of Docker) with the official Docker site only supporting SLES on s390x, not Tumbleweed on x86_64. The main reason though is that it can run without root which is appealing; apparently I have a lot to learn on setting that up. The glib statements of ‘drop in replacement’ that I"ve seen isn’t quite accurate apparently outside of the commandline options.
I didn’t know enough to try running it interactively - that was a great suggestion and showed many access denied errors trying to access a log file path, so thanks for that suggestion.
Interesting, it runs if I remove the mount points. It’s binding to port 8080, so nothing to do with privileged ports here. I’ll need to look into the subuid and subgid edits - I read the docs for those and understood them to be for multiple users on the same machine running the same container, didn’t realize it was for all users including my own but that makes sense. Thanks for the direction!
Looks like it is the mount points; if I remove those it runs. Going to follow @ubergeek77’s suggestion. (Does tagging with @ work on Lemmy?)
Thanks - this shows exited (1). Running in foreground mode from another suggestion shows the same access denied and file not found error repeatedly - 'Suppressed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/info.log (Permission denied). Looks like I don’t have podman configured correctly, going to work through that.
Sounds like you need to familiarise yourself with PowerShell and Group Policy.
