What is DogOS?

DogOS will be a fully-featured operating system made in Cosmos(OS) and .NET 2.0 C#. It is in heavy development right now, and there is barely anything added so far. Star the repository to get updates on development, or join the Discord server.

Features

DogOS currently features the following:

• A working shell
• User accounts
• Text Editor
• Shell scripts
• File system
• SHA256 hashing

Check the repositories Project's tab to check what needs to be done.

v0.0.1

Building

You can build DogOS on your own, and help development if you want. There are multiple steps to building.

1. Install the COSMOS Dev Kit. The instructions are here.
2. Once installed, clone the repository and open the project in Visual Studio 2019.
3. If needed, open the project's Properties and change the profile. If you are using VMware, make sure to change the edition to your edition. It is currently at Workstation.
4. Run the project, and it should open and boot!

Running Release

To run a release, please follow these steps.

1. Download the ISO and the Filesystem.
2. Create a new virtual machine with the ISO mounted, but make sure to use the virtual disk that was downloaded. DogOS does not work right without it.
3. Run the virtual machine!

Additional Info

DogOS has only been tested on VMware Workstation 16. If you test it on a different virtual machine, please open a issue. Use this prefix on the title: [README]. This helps me make sure that DogOS works on other platforms.

Thank you for checking out DogOS.

dogos's Issues

[BUG] Executing a command throws a exception and crashes the OS.

Executing a command in the shell without any arguments throws a NotImplemented exception.

The error doesn't really make sense, since I'm not converting any Enum to a string.

Why would it be throwing this, and why when there is no params?

[BUG] Window does not move when dragged.

Window does not move when dragged.

I have narrowed down the problem to the OnMouseDown event of the CompositeWidget not activating.

Why it is not activating I don't know. Widget's OnMouseDown works and the OnMouseState works too.

[BUG] OS randomly freezes while in use.

The OS is currently freezing randomly. No help at Cosmos yet, and I don't think it's the memory manager, but it could be.

Maybe allocating more memory to the vm will help?

[BUG] QEMU cannot read VMDK

Describe the bug
QEMU cannot read the provided VMDK. This happens when the OS tries to read the system.ini file, failing by saying the file does not exist. VMDK works fine on VMware.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Boot DogOS with the following command: qemu-system-i386 -cdrom DogOS.iso -hda Filesystem.vmdk -boot d -m 2G
2. OS throws error saying file does not exist.

Expected behavior
DogOS should boot into the shell with no errors, loading the system.ini and users.ini file.
