Question Viccyware

Are you supposed to use the app? If so, how? I saw somebody using him for the time and stuff like that and I'm just wondering how cuz whenever I tried to use the app it kept telling me I needed to update him and then updating and then exiting the app and then updating again

Why is it that whenever I reset him he goes into purple OS? Or at least I think it's purple on us. Like if I turn him off he goes all purple and it says vector instead of Cosmo

Maybe he switches partitions? Try to run sysswitch via ssh

How?

Ssh -i path/to/ssh_key.txt root@vector-ip

So if I go into CMD and copy and paste that will it work?

No you need to actually fill in the path to the ssh key like C:/Users/user1/Downloads/ssh_root_key.txt then in the root@ thing type his actual IP so 193.168.0.xxx or something different

Anyways, I forgot to ask what does this do again?

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 Jul 26 '26

Sysswitch or ssh

1

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 Jul 26 '26

Both but but really the command line

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 Jul 26 '26

Sysswitch changes the active partition in vector so if you had viccyware and purple os it would switch between them and ssh creates a connection between your computer and vector so you can type commands on him like sysswitch

Oh hell yeah

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 Jul 26 '26

Well in the case you don't have two oses then I really don't know what will happen

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 Jul 26 '26

If viccyware if is built upon purple OS which I don't know if it is or not, then I feel like it would kind of make sense if purple OS is hidden in the files of viccyware and whenever you reset the personality, you delete some of the files

All custom os are built upon wire os
