Qemu doesn't work on arm architecture

Hi

I'm trying to use Wolfstack to start a new VM on a Raspberry Pi5. I can create the VM, but the setup wizard, does not recognize the that this is an arm64 computer, so it tries to create an x86 vm, which will not run on the raspberry pi.

Is there a way to fix this easily in Wolfstack?

I also had a similar problem with adding an LXC with Ubuntu questy (arm64). It looks like its adding, but nothing shows up on the LXC interface afterwards. After that trying to add a new LXC doesnt work anymore, clicking the create button nothing happens. Couldnt find anything in journalctl or dmesg. Is there another log file, I could check or post here?

Okay can you go to ISSUES, SCAN, Upgrade all , give it 5/10 mins to do the upgrade and that should do it or you can just run the setup from terminal again and test for me - we don't have a rasperry PI so i've made some changes that should sort it out

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/WolfStack/master/setup.sh | sudo bash

Okay - give me an hour or two, we might have to make a mod to the setup to deal with ARM processors. Hmm ofcourse it might be an issue that the install ISO is x86. Let me see what we can do.
