Okay, I've got doesemu2 working, but I still get an error /dev/kvm does not exist upon loading a door. I have looked into this, and I think it is because I am running on a server version of Linux (no gui), and dosemu is attempting to load something in the gui environment. Doors are functioning perfectly fine, but I get that error message at the launch each time.

Does anyone know of a way to supress this message?

If you don't have /dev/kvm then it means you don't have virtualiztion
enabled in your BIOS.
If your system is virtualized then it's unlikely your provider will
enable virtualization pass-thru.
grep --color vmx /proc/cpuinfo #intel
grep --color svm /proc/cpuinfo #amd
Could do use the brute force method:
mknod /dev/kvm c 10 232
But good luck with that.

If you don't have /dev/kvm then it means you don't have virtualiztion enabled in your BIOS.

It is enabled on the bare metal machine, but the machine is running Proxmox, which is running Ubuntu in a VM. Ubuntu is running dosemu2.

I tested dosemu on a Linux install that included a GUI, and I didn't get that message. Only on the server install.

Well, did the GUI version have a /dev/kvm file?

just ignore it it's fine.. you'll get that because you're not running in a console session and that you aren't running virtualised..

it's fine and not an issue.

you will because it's in a virtual machine.

Hello

If you would tell me the upside of running doseemu2 over dosemu?

I see you can build it yourself, I was hoping for the real easy
way out of just installing it by .deb.

But anyway I would like to know about the upside.

Thanks...

TradeWars 2002 works with dosemu2.
TradeWars 2002 doesn't seem to work with dosemu 1.x.

I see you can build it yourself, I was hoping for the real easy
way out of just installing it by .deb.

You can also install dosemu2 via your package manager.
