Running bootloader-config…
I try run apt update and install and the same error
The same with home
How about beta ARM version? And what kind of devices can be installed?
Live mode: no anonsurf? Root password?
Tried to install home and security edition on qemu (MacOS 12.1) - also GRUB issue

I’m using the terminal and this is the whole command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom Parrot-home-5.0-beta1-amd64.iso -boot d -drive file=parrotos.img -m 4G -smp 2 -vga virtio -usb -machine type=q35,accel=hvf -device usb-tablet -display default,show-cursor=on
Same wrong message here. App: VMWare Fusion.
try to create the image first:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 parrot.img 15G
Hi, arm 5.0 beta images will be out as soon as possible, for now it is working for raspberry but we plan more devices in the future 
We are currently relying on our repositories.
The new version of AnonSurf is not included for the moment. Root’s password is toor.
Login with sudo su, change it via passwd.
Glad You (Parrots) tweaked the icons, at default.
Came here bcz of
I’m confused. I installed Parrot OS, when it was on 4.11.3 I think. Now when I use cat /etc/os-release I get the information that I use version 5.0 (LTS). How can it be that there is a beta test for version 5.0?
Beside that: Is there a changelog for the beta version? It would be interesting to see what has changed.
Sadly, I don’t have time now and until next month. But, I hope I can test the beta soon or the next round.
