Hype for the Future 139H → Alpine Linux: What to Expect

Introduction Alpine is a distribution of the Linux kernel with modern 32-bit and 64-bit variants and is one of a few rare distributions of Linux to continue to fully support 32-bit systems and associated configurations. Whether with the 32-bit or 64-bit installations of the distribution, the Alpine Linux distribution is an optimal solution for lightweight desktops and especially for servers and virtual machines. As a basic implementation of the Linux kernel, default implementations--even at […]

Hype for the Future 139G → How to Install Virtual Machines for QEMU

Introduction With the Quick Emulator system, depending on platform and system architecture, the proper syntax for opening the virtual machine command is qemu-system-, where arch is the particular architecture in question. On select types of systems, such as ARM (32-bit qemu-system-arm and 64-bit qemu-system-aarch64), a specific machine configuration is required, using the -machine or shorthand -M command flag and associated parameter. Even though ARM virtual machines support -M virt, […]

Hype for the Future 137D → What to Expect from Virtualization Videos

Introduction When novaTopFlex creates videos involving the presence of virtual machines, expect the display resolution of the display to be recorded using the ffmpeg command to be set to 960x540. The ffmpeg command-line parameters should be set as follows: ffmpeg -f pulse -i default -f x11grab -framerate 60 -draw_mouse 0 -i .mp4 Virtualization Standards More information will be available directly within the video comments at https://www.youtube.com/@novaTopFlex.

Hype for the Future 137A → Virtual Machine Demonstrations

Introduction On the novaTopFlex channel on YouTube, at https://www.youtube.com/@novaTopFlex, numerous virtual machine demonstrations are often more difficult to insert and identify with respect to the associated systems. In an effort to ensure the most appropriate terms for formatting, mkfs.ext4 is the preferred command within virtual machines to format applicable disk images. Virtual Machines Upcoming videos requiring virtual machines will include Alpine and Slackware Linux […]

Currently trying to convert VHD files to Qcow2, because I'm trying to move off of Hyper-V and VirtualBox, and over to KVM.

Using the built-in qemu conversion tool produced a file that wouldn't boot. So I'm trying the Starwind converter now. If that fails, I'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way, and make a new VM to recreate things on. Bleh.

Awww, I must have built this when Andre Braugher died.
This reminds me I need to install whatever version of VMware workstation I used to create the windows 7 environment I can create custom stuff for Sim City4 in.
Chores...
