Deploy Distro Image

  1. gtk initialization failed

When launching the qemu, no graphic pops up, the error shows gtk initialization failed. This is likely due to the failure to enable X11 forward on your terminal.

X11 tutorial for Windows, Linux, MacOS.

This issue can also occur if your terminal does not support X11 forwarding.

Upstream Linux Compilation

  1. Corrupted Linux kernel source folder

It's possible to mess up the Linux kernel source code after multiple cases build and clean the source code many times. If a kernel compilation fails, try to see the status of the source code first: git status.

You will see all the modified files and make appropriate adjustments to them. If it's still not working, try git stash and git stash --all to remove all the unstaged changes. If the compilation still fails, try git reset --hard HEAD to reset the kernel source code to the initial status.
