qemu-system-i386 -cdrom myos.isoSorry, but this didn't work for me? I use WSL so it comes out with a few errors, if there's a way to do this on windows that would help alot.jamesread wrote:When I did the tutorial

You can install X Window, GTK, and a desktop environment in WSL. It just takes a little extra work.nexos wrote:It means that WSL doesn't have gtk installed. It can't have it installed, as WSL doesn't have a desktop environment.
And typing the error message into Google never occurred to you? If this is a bare bones WSL installation, I would guess this means you have no X11 server installed, so QEMU cannot display its windows. Install Xming on Windows, then runhausemaster wrote:Even if I run the i386 Qemu executable, it still doesn't make a difference.
If you were wondering why I don't just use Qemu in the WSL, well I can but this shows up and it crashes
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
gtk initialization failed
(Whatever that means)
If I wasn't motivated to do this, I'd give up

export DISPLAY=:0.0There is so much wrong in this statement. For one, GTK is installed since it is a dependency of QEMU. If it was not installed, he'd get a dynamic linking error. WSL can very much have GTK installed, and lacking a desktop environment has precisely nothing to do with GTK, which is a widget toolkit. It's like saying you can't have a FAT32 partition in the system unless there's a full DOS 6.22 install on there.nexos wrote:It means that WSL doesn't have gtk installed.

Work the problem. Don't throw stuff at a wall to see what sticks, see what is actually going wrong and fix things. No amount of recompilation will fix QEMU not starting because it cannot display its window.hausemaster wrote:I'll be fucking patient and polite if that's what it takes, but please, someone answer my question?

The advice you can expect on this forum is exactly what you paid for. If you're lucky you'll get more help than that, but it's not something that you can demand, and you certainly can't demand instant answers.hausemaster wrote:I'll be fucking patient and polite if that's what it takes, but please, someone answer my question? How do I start up my OS? This is one of the most fun programming things I've ever done, but please, one question is all I have and it's taking a long time to get an answer.
Or you could just ask qemu to display to a VNC server and then access it from a Windows VNC client.nullplan wrote:If this is a bare bones WSL installation, I would guess this means you have no X11 server installed, so QEMU cannot display its windows. Install Xming on Windows....
If you're refering to when I did ./qemu-system-i386.exe -cdrom C:\Users\hausemaster\Documents\OS\myos.isoiansjack wrote:I may be wrong, but I don't think that you can refer to "C:\" from WSL.
