4 - Host BIOS passed to the QEMU/KVM Windows VM

Passing the BIOS information from our PC to our QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine

September 16, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, In this post, we will see how simple it is to pass our physical machine BIOS information to our QEMU/KVM Windows Virtual Machine. Apparently, this is a way some software checks to see if it is running behind a VM and adding a simple line of configuration will pass our real machine BIOS info to the VM, so the software will read the real info rather than the one from the virtualized BIOS. Here’s an image from CPU-Z…

1 - Ubuntu Boot with Splash Screen enabled

Disabling the Ubuntu Splash Screen / Show log during boot

September 15, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, In this post, we’ll see how to disable the Ubuntu splash screen and enable showing the boot log when we start our machines. This is useful because it allow you to watch the system initializing instead of just showing the splash screen. These instructions should work for any system that uses GRUB as its bootloader. I’m using Ubuntu 22.10. To disable the Ubuntu splash screen, we must edit the GRUB configuration file found at /etc/default/grub. I will use…

TPM Passthrough in Linux Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager)

September 14, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, we will see how to pass our TPM (Trusted Platform Module) from our machine to our QEMU/KVM virtual machine using the Virtual Machine Manager tool. We will also modify an AppArmor configuration file to allow access to it. This is needed mostly if you plan on using Windows 11 as a virtual machine, unless you use a method to patch a Windows 11 ISO image in order to install it. Once Windows 11 is installed, the TPM…

Installing the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 in Ubuntu

September 12, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Yesterday, the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 was released. This kernel is mostly a bug fix release. Unfortunately, this release failed to build for the amd64 architecture on the Ubuntu Kernel Team site, but the good news is that today’s daily build succeeded, and we can download and install it in our Ubuntu system. Because the kernel failed to build for the official 6.0.0-rc5 release, we cannot install it via the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Instaler tool. Instead, we must download…

You can now install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool

September 9, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, While the latest Linux Kernel is currently at the 6.0-rc4 version, now we can install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in our Ubuntu Linux systems. The 6.0-rc4 version failed to compile, and is the reason why it’s not listed in the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but at least we can now install the packages of the 6.0-rc3 version with it. To install it, you must first enable the installation of unstable kernels in the tool. For this, click…

Ongoing Updates to the paq8px_script.py script to compress files using PAQ8PX

September 7, 2022 Moises Cardona Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Over the past few days, I’ve revisited my old paq8px_script.py Python script that I wrote in order to compress files using the paq8px compressor. This script builds a file list that we can feed to paq8px so that it can compress multiple files and create an archive. I wrote an introductory post of this project back in 2018. An update I did in 2020 was to add multithreaded compression by making a paq8px archive per file. This is…
