We’re almost there! Thanks again for helping us test the second beta image of Parrot 5.0. Now the major problems are resolved, and now you can proceed with testing our new release. If you test the iso, leave a report in the comments of this thread.

Just an observation, not a gripe, but similar to versions of Kali Linux i386 after 2019.1a, the Parrot Beta 3 ISO does not provide the (proprietary?) Wi-Fi drivers for my old netbooks. I had to use Ethernet to install Parrot (mirrors) and later installed the needed packages to do the trick…
The Calamares “Login without a password” still doesn’t work. I understand this is an unsafe option, but I often LUKS encrypt the drive and would prefer to put in only one password at boot-up, then wait for the desktop to load. I know I can edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to allow auto-login.

Elsewise, installing Parrot-security-5.0-beta3_amd64.iso in VirtualBox (Windows 10 host) gives a different Grub error at the end of install then in Beta 1 & 2.
According to Mesmer, i386 works in VirtualBox BUT without selecting any extra package. If I check Parrot base packages and extra pentest tools, the installer return a error due to grub-pc.
Actually, I installed the i386 Beta 3 version on an ancient netbook and it works. I already installed all the available security tools and more.
Edit: Are you saying that during install, if you select more than just the base packages and Mate desktop and try to install extra pentest tools, then you have grub error at the end of install? (I’m installing the i386 version in VirtualBox and just got to that screen to select packages. I go with only the base packages and Mate as they are on the (smaller) ISO.)
The x64 Beta 3 I tried installing on VirtualBox has the grub-pc error. Once the grub error is fixed (Beta 4?) we can report more issues.

We should add fcitx to preinstalled tool again?
In this beta 3, the live medium doesn’t have grub-pc which caused no installation candidate. The solution could be either put it to live medium or get from internet.
I don’t know who you are asking Ajra, but the i386 Parrot 5 Architect Beta 3 (a.k.a. new 32-bit) version installs on x86 hardware and on VirtualBox when you select Debian 32-bit. Don’t select additional software during install, just the base install and Mate which are pre-selected. After rebooting into Parrot you can install pentesting packages.
beta 6 is building. Palinuro finally fixed the error (in theory) grub-pc no installation candidate. By checking mounted iso, grub-pc is in media source
you should skip it. the installation is still having error (ofc different error). It’s better to try next release. I’ve pushed a fix and update for linux-exploit-suggester. There are some more packages are going to be updated.
