Hello, I just uploaded the first release candidate of Sculpt 25.10 RC1 for PC under the following URLs. It’s also available via the Sculpt “System → Update” dialog in entry `https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth` from a running Sculpt installation. [https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth/image/sculpt-pc-2025-10-17.img.xz](https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth/image/sculpt-pc-2025-10-17.img.xz) [https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth/image/sculpt-pc-2025-10-17.zip](https://depot.genode.org/chelmuth/image/sculpt-pc-2025-10-17.zip) Please report issues and ask questions on the mailing list [1] or the Genode Users Discourse forum [2].

Had some time to give the upgrade a go and so dug out my USB stick. Unfortunately it must have deteriorated in some way because now it will not boot. I will wait for the actual release later this week. How are others finding the preview? ---

At which point does the boot get stuck? Do you see the Genode logo in GRUB? ---

Iirc, the logo does show but a bad sector is reported and it hangs. There is nothing important on this usb install so I am expecting to make a fresh one when the release comes out. ---

I tried out the new version on my notebook. Apart from a few occasional glitches and fine-tuning, it seems to work. I’m looking forward to trying out the new syntax when I get the chance. ---

The official release is out. You may still ask questions or report any issues here. ---

Great news. In light of the new HRD - or HID? - have publishers received a press release? Liam Proven of The Register seems to have a soft spot for interesting systems like Plan 9, Genode and Haiku. ---

In order to use a VM with the new Debian 13, I tried to create one with the Debian13.1.0 component. Unfortunately, it kept crashing. I can attach the /report/logs file if that helps. ---

Please do, I’ll check here as well. That being said, the _pkg_ changed somewhat and is now expected to be routed to the _recall\_fs_ where it will create a _vm_ sub-directory that will now contain the _machine.vbox6_, _machine.vdi_ and the installer _.iso_. So you have to point _vbox6_ to _/recall\_fs/debian-13.1.0/vm_. ---

> So you have to point _vbox6_ to _/recall\_fs/debian-13.1.0/vm_. Installing the _debian-13.1.0_ pkg and downloading the _.iso_ into the _recall\_fs_ went fine here. However, I noticed that you cannot use the **…** button with the _recall\_fs_. From the _vbox6_ dialog one has to navigate via `used file system → recall → debian-13.1.0 → vm` to directory containing the assets. ---

Thanks for it. I will try it. ---
