On the subject of keyboards and monitors:

Obviously I have a KVM. The ability to switch without re-cabling is a boon. I might have touched a rack-mount in my time. (-:

But the #RaspberryPi bootstrap's initial stages are very sensitive to KVMs. If the monitor is not "there" when the GPU checks for it, it will proceed without a display.

Likewise, a #USB HID keyboard that is behind a hub, which is how KVMs mainly make things look to hosts, is tricky.

I'm also seeing a problem with strange phantom keypresses, the investigation of which I'm postponing. The current suspect is that this is a "Multimedia" keyboard with 2 interfaces on the bus, the 2nd handling the consumer and system page keycodes. It might be something else entirely, though.

So it really is real, huh? SteamOS on a freakin' virtual machine??? I might try using this thingy as the alternative to my broken openSUSE install.

I gotta admit forcing it to install on a regular "disk" instead of nvme was pretty easy. Just involved removing some nvme0n1 references, the prefix and some nvme commands on the "install script" and it went on its own.

Gonna add this distro to my ever growing list of Linux distros used ! 😁

Want to get rid of license costs of your #VMware environment? Switching to #Proxmox & looking for enterprise features like DRS? #ProxLB (opensource) has you covered!

With ProxLB you extend the features of your Proxmox cluster with DRS alike features including affinity & anti-affinity support, maintenance mode and soon also power management (DPM alike) and automated security patching!

Okay, that was it, I guess.
My #KVM switch's USB output port 1 died.
My wife's failed in a similar fashion last year.

Any recommendations? I don't need anything fancy: 2 or possibly 3 computers, 1 monitor, at least one of the inputs has to be HDMI, the other could be HDMI or DP.

On modern #Linux, a virtual machine using #KVM is more or less just another running process. Which allows you to treat a VM more or less as a container. Which is why we at Red Hat offer Openshift Virtualisation, that puts all of that together. This was kinda mind-blowing for some at the event where I presented yesterday. Seeing VMs as "fat" containers that you can now start planning to convert to real containers :) 1/4

Garage cleaning time, multiple VGA KVM to give away

Cybex PC Extender Plus with serial, ps/2 mouse and vga

Also has ps/2 and AT keyboard connections

Toggle switches for 25 to 300 foot ( 7.6 to 91 meter ) cables

Multiple cable lengths available

Via friends and travel can likely get to LA, San Diego, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Denver, Seattle, Portland before EoY, elsewise shipping

Cable picture in next post

Latest thing that has kept me entertained: setting up a #Windows11 #IoT #LTSC on a #VM on #Fedora, using #KVM and #virt_manager . It feels a little faster than my #Tiny10 install, and best of all: none of the bloat! :aw_yeah:

Now I need to learn how to configure the GPU passthrough using my laptop's dGPU (#Nvidia, sadly). Any recommendations for a guide or tutorial, people of #Mastodon?

(Yes, I know how to do a #SearXNG, but maybe someone have already a good tutorial.)

Schwarm zuhülf!

Mein debian (12) will keine VMs starten.
Habe mir (mit Cockpit) einen Storagepool im Standardpfad (/var/lib/libvirt/images) eingerichtet & da ein qcow2 abgelegt. Versuche ich jetzt eine VM mit dem Image zu starten, verweigert AppArmor den Zugriff auf das Image.
Jemensch hier eine Idee für einen (möglichst frickelarmen/korrekten) Lösungsansatz?
Da unten gibt’s nochn paar Details.👇

For #guix social I'm going to do a talk for #beginners on trying #guix as a #linux distribution. Basically, how to install Guix System, and getting started.

I'm going to do it in a #kvm #vm as that's an easy way to try the #nix derived #declarative goodness without fully committing.

What do you think the key things are to cover? Any particular sticky areas? Anything that was super interesting when you were getting started? What do #beginners need to know?
