Initial release

Requirements

  • 64GB (or bigger) USB pen drive

How to use the live image

  • Download the source code
  • Download the ISO file into your MobilePassThrough/live-iso-files directory. (NOTE: Due to a bug, you need to change the name of that .iso file to Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.modified.iso.)
  • Make sure your USB pen drive is plugged in and run df -h from a terminal to list your device paths. You'll need to find the one of your pen drive.
  • Now run ./mbpt.sh live flash /dev/sdx (Make sure to replace the /dev/sdx with the device path of your pen drive from the previous step; Omit the number in the end - e.g. /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1)

About

Booting from the USB drive will automatically set up a GPU passthrough VM and everything - zero user input required. The VM installation on the USB drive is persistent, so you don't have to wait for it to reinstall every time you boot from it. Everything will be stored on the USB drive. Your other drives will be left untouched.

Please note:

  • This is a beta, expect bugs.
  • This image won't be able to do anything if burned to a disk (CD/DVD/...)
  • Flashing this image using standard tools like Balena Etcher will not work properly because we need to set very specific options that those tools don't provide.
