vm does not boot in modern versions of linux

[aborregoc]

Hello
First of all, thank you for the excellent work done by the developers in this program. I've been a marionnet user for years now and it's been with me since ubuntu 10.04. In the latest versions of Linux (Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04) I have managed to install it but when starting the machines or the routers it gives the message: "A process died unexpectedly". At the suggestion of one of you I have installed the libvdeplug2 package but it does not solve it. I send you the output of the marionnet -d command when trying to run a debian-wheezy machine:

Hi,
I answer myself:
The problem was that the MX-linux 19.2 version I was using did not have systemd activated, it was to activate this and everything worked correctly.The problems when installing it in Ubuntu 20.04 I still do not know what they may be.
