Hi,

I cannot get the basic demo to work inside my VM. Here's my setup:

x86_64 machine running
Windows 7 running
VirtualBox 5.1.28 running
Ubuntu 16.04

My process within the Ubuntu VM was:

Installed the various tools to build (genode-toolchain-17.05, libsdl2-dev, etc)
Ran git clone to get Genode 17.08
Ran ./tool/create_builddir linux BUILD_DIR=../build
Changed build.conf to enable MAKE += -j4
Ran make run/demo

Everything builds fine but nothing significant happens. Here's the console output (post build):

using 'core-linux' as 'core'

using 'ld-linux.lib.so' as 'ld.lib.so'

using 'linux_timer_drv' as 'timer'

spawn ./core

Genode 17.08 <local changes>

17592186044415 MiB RAM and 8997 caps assigned to init

Warning: blocking canceled in entrypoint constructor

If I check the process list (before the Ctrl-C) I don't see anything other than make, expect, and core. After attaching gdb to the (unstripped) core process I see that one thread is sleeping in _sig_rec->block_for_signal() and another thread is sleeping in _wait_for_exit_sem.down().

The huge RAM allocation for init seems unreasonable, but I saw some similar output in other posts. Is the "blocking canceled" warning to be expected? Should I see the other processes listed in launchpad.config running?

Just to be safe I've redone all these steps multiple times and even built the genode toolchain from source. What should I check next?

Thanks,

Tom
