Found the qemu from cli - that works as far as the login - but what do I do about the password Screenshot from 2022-02-13 16-34-21 ?

The password for root is test0000

ok - that worked - now not sure how to launch pangolin inside qemu...

Depending on whether or not you copied the overlays to it, you should be able just to type startx

Yeah - that's what I thought - when I did that it complains that file ./root/.serverauth.407 does not exist, and later... Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found. So - I guess I didn't "copy overlays to it" (whatever that means). Is there any documentation on that?

I probably should assemble a doc on building from scratch. You just need to cp -r dahliaos-overlays/* output/target/* and then rebuild.

did the rebuild - doubled the size of the iso - but same errors when logging in and running startx

Try running source ~/.profile, if that doesn't work, do rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf&&startx

Thanks! The second approach worked - it apparently lacks a .profile file. It launched three terminals but nothing that looks like pangolin desktop - is that a separate command? Screenshot from 2022-02-14 17-03-32

Make sure that the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is the one from the overlays, not the stock XOrg config.
