<p>Hey all, <br>
</p>
<p>Long time user, short time list subscriber. <br>
</p>
<p>We over at VE3LSR has had a visualized DIAL for a while now.
We've spent a fair amount of time getting as many things
virtualized and/or inside docker containers where ever possible
(You can find our published things on github and docker hub under
the call sign).<br>
</p>
<p>It started as a Debian install on ESXi with compiling dial on the
box. We found that ESXi had some issues with the USB passthru
required. It also didn't support some of the addon cards we were
trying to use. <br>
</p>
<p>We since moved it to a base Debian install, then adding the
pre-built package repositories on top of Proxmox VM system. This
left a bug we were chasing since we started down this rabbit hole.
Turns out, the system is CPU sensitive. Meaning even though you
don't have a lot of CPU usage, it's possible to have massive
jitter if more then one process is trying to use a core at the
same time. It's best to either limit the number of VMs on the box,
or set some kind of CPU affinity to ensure the Debian Box always
has access to a core. We've had no evidence of jitter since moving
most of our other virtual machines onto a second box. Work
investigation and tweaking is being done.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>

Some time ago I thought I remember seeing a link for an ASL
install on top of an existing Debian installation. Might that two
step process (if it exists) work any better?

<div class="">After no luck with getting a previous
version of DIAL that was available on the ASL site
to work with my fob interface, a suggestion led me
to find there was a new version available. After
installing and working though the asl-menu setup I
finally had a working node with my old Acer Aspire
One. However there were still some tasks to
complete.<br class="">

<div class="">While working through the Allmon2
install process I thought why not use Oracle
Virtual Box to test on instead of the actual
system. It was a good thought however the
currently available image will not install on
Virtual Box 5.2.8. Just for kicks I grabbed the
current 32bit Debian iso - this installed on the
virtual system with no issues. Anyone have any
thoughts or ideas on why the DIAL image would not
work. Error is 'no kernal' during the install...
and it stops. I can continue, but then grub has
nothing to load when the virtual reboots. Thank
for any assistance.</div>
