Problem to boot on ISO Incus

Incus
1

Hello there,
I had and have still a problem to boot on ISO, for example now i’m trying to install a windows vm and i did theses commands :

incus init windows-client --empty --vm -c limits.cpu=2 -c limits.memory=4GiB -d root,size=50GiB

incus storage volume import soc-storage Iso/windows_client/Win10_22H2_French_x64v1.iso win10-iso --type=iso

incus config device add windows-client win10-iso disk pool=soc-storage source=win10-iso boot.priority=10

incus start windows-client --console

but from here impossible to boot

Have you tried to repack windows iso with distrobuilder first?

i have the exact same problem. I created the iso with

distrobuilder repack-windows --windows-arch amd64 --windows-version w11 windows11-en.iso windows11-en.incus.iso

I just realized that this command uses, by accident, the original ISO instead of the repacked Windows ISO.

@ogaida, welcome! Can you show the full commands that you are using?

@simos the problem only occurs in the webui. i have installed the virt-viewer on my mac, switched with incus remote switch ... to incus server and could start viewer with incus console w11 --type=vga successfully. From now on it is also possible to use the graphical console in the webui.

for the installation of virt-viewer on my mac m1 i used:

brew tap krishjainx/homebrew-virt-manager
brew install virt-manager
