Basic Features

Things to Do After Installing

One-Click AI Setup • Chat & Generative Models

Xkaliber OS makes it incredibly easy to get started with cutting-edge AI and creative tools. We've included convenient scripts that let you quickly install and configure popular applications, empowering you to explore the world of AI and image generation with minimal effort.

Choose Your AI Adventure

Effortless Local AI with Ollama: Want to run powerful language models directly on your machine? Select this option to automatically install and configure Ollama. This allows you to interact with AI models privately and offline. Simply choose option 1 and follow the prompts.
Launch Your AI Interface with Open WebUI: Prefer a user-friendly web interface for interacting with your AI models? This option will install Open WebUI, a sleek and intuitive dashboard that connects to Ollama. Access it directly in your browser at http://0.0.0.0:8080 after installation. Select option 2 to begin. (Make sure Docker is installed and running for this option.)
Harness the Power of Stable Diffusion: Ready to generate stunning AI images? This option downloads the necessary files to set up Stable Diffusion, a leading AI image generation tool. Choose option 3 to download the setup script. After downloading, open a terminal, navigate to the download location, and run ./webui.sh to launch the installation process.

Bonus: Ready-to-Go CPU Image Generation

We've also included a pre-configured, CPU-only image generation setup within the "goods" folder located in your home directory after installing the ISO. This provides a fantastic starting point, especially for users with less powerful hardware or those who prefer CPU-based processing. We'll be providing more information and features for this in the near future, unlocking even greater creative possibilities right out of the box.

Behind the Scenes (For the Curious)

These options are powered by a convenient script that automates the installation process. To use these quick setup options, simply download and run the script:

Download aisetup.sh
Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you saved aisetup.sh, and make it executable using the command:
```
chmod +x aisetup.sh
```
Run the script by executing the command:
```
./aisetup.sh
```

Important Notes:

Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection for downloading the necessary files.
Docker for Open WebUI: Installing Open WebUI requires Docker to be installed and running on your system.
Stable Diffusion Setup: After the webui.sh script for Stable Diffusion is downloaded by aisetup.sh, it will be made executable. You can then run it with the command ./webui.sh in your terminal.

Waydroid Failed to Launch FIX!

This is due to the custom DNS cache. You can disable it, but it's recommended to just use the stop command for those few times you actually use Waydroid so you keep the benefit of enhanced network speeds.

To fix Waydroid failing to launch, open a terminal and copy and paste the following commands one by one:

sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq

waydroid show-full-ui

Modifying DNS Cache Server:

To modify the DNS Cache Server, use the command:

sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
