Neuer Artikel im Blog: Serielle Konsole bei Debian 🐧
Wer seine VMs virtualisiert hat, kennt das Problem: Man will mal eben draufschauen, aber SSH ist noch nicht bereit oder es lohnt sich nicht extra VNC/SPICE aufzusetzen.
Mit ein paar Anpassungen an GRUB klappt der Zugriff direkt über virsh console – ganz ohne grafische Oberfläche.
Das Vorgehen lässt sich übrigens fast 1:1 auf andere Distributionen übertragen, nur das Kommando zum Neuschreiben von GRUB unterscheidet sich.
I'm writing a compiler! In fact, a whole computer system. I have no idea of what I'm doing and I'm just starting to do it, but I'm having lots of fun. This is my living frog. :)

Virtualbox or QEMU? I don't do anything special, but would like to try a new emulator. Virtualbox works. However, my laptop has been having trouble with the last couple of releases. My workstation is in storage so I can't compare the difference between machines.
The 7.2.4 release had a problem with it pegging a CPU core at 100%.
The 7.2.8 branch screws with the Parcellite clipboard manager on the host machine (my laptop). I have to kill its process and relaunch it for it to function again. It also steps on Bluetooth somehow, but I've too distracted with the clipboard thing to be able to describe how.

The Virtual OS Museum
This is a virtual museum of operating systems (and standalone applications) running under emulation, implemented as a Linux VM for QEMU, VirtualBox, or UTM.
