Hi there Genodians. It has been many years since I've built and experimented with Genode, and now seems like a perfect time to get back into the picture.

Right now, I want to prototype and experiment with running Sculpt OS directly on my current Debian 12 installation, in an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS podman/distrobox container. I'm using the current master branch of Genode from GitHub.

It took me a bit of time to reread the documentation and a handful of very helpful Genodians.org articles, and I was able to build and run the sculpt_test run script after some configuration and switching my Linux environment from Wayland to Xorg (fb_sdl fails to initialize on Wayland). It all works perfectly with the exception of networking! I'm very happy with this progress and it was more than I expected to accomplish with my first revisit of Genode.

I am building and running Sculpt OS using the following command in my Ubuntu container: "make -C build/x86_64 run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux LOG=core"

When I click the Network button at the top-right of the leitzentrale, it only displays two buttons - "Off" and "Disconnected". Clicking on Disconnected initializes nic_router, but I still have no internet access.

Feel free to throw me any ideas or troubleshooting tips. I'm having a lot of fun but having working internet will be amazing.

Joel
