I'm trying to run wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk into Ubuntu Core under a Proxmox VE virtual machine.

I did the following.

# Define VMID variable
VMID=125

Create VM with UEFI (OVMF)


qm create $VMID --memory 2048 --cores 2 --name ubuntu-core-kiosk --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --bios ovmf


Configure graphic card


qm set $VMID --vga virtio,memory=128
qm set $VMID --vga std --machine q35


Activate tablet mode


qm set $VMID --tablet 1


Download and uncompress Ubuntu Core 24 image


wget https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/24/stable/current/ubuntu-core-24-amd64.img.xz
unxz ubuntu-core-24-amd64.img.xz


Verify available storage pools


pvesm status


Import disk (replace STORAGE_POOL with your own storage pool)


STORAGE_POOL=local-lvm
qm importdisk $VMID ubuntu-core-24-amd64.img $STORAGE_POOL


Attach disk to VM


qm set $VMID --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 $STORAGE_POOL:vm-$VMID-disk-0


Configure boot order


qm set $VMID --boot c --bootdisk scsi0


Add an EFI disk


qm set 125 --efidisk0 $STORAGE_POOL:0,pre-enrolled-keys=0


Remove image file


rm ubuntu-core-24-amd64.img


Start VM


qm start $VMID

Welcome to Ubuntu Core 24


    

  • Documentation: https://ubuntu.com/core/docs

This is a pre-built Ubuntu Core image. Pre-built images are ideal for
exploration as you develop your own custom Ubuntu Core image.


To learn how to create your custom Ubuntu Core image, see our guide:

In this image, why not create an IoT web-kiosk. First, connect a
screen, then run:


snap install ubuntu-frame wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
   snap set wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk url=https://ubuntu.com/core

s-cls@localhost:~$

I tried

snap install ubuntu-frame wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
snap set wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk url=https://ubuntu.com/core

but nothing appears on screen (noVNC console in Proxmox VE).

I only have a black screen

I noticed that

s-cls@localhost:~$ snap stop mir-kiosk
Stopped.
s-cls@localhost:~$ snap start mir-kiosk
Started.

is changing screen color to orange/brown and black but I never see the expected webpage (ie https://ubuntu.com/core ) .

Any idea?
