Running Debian under KVM

Monday November 5th, 2012By: CyrIng

Following our article how to install Xen for Debian within ArchLinux, we were stuck with packages issues between virt-manager and the Wheezy distribution.
Using command line, we successfully created a Wheezy Debian virtual machine, named VPC1 for that case.

Disappointed not being able to use the virt-manager with Debian, we then proceeded to install the OpenSUSE 64-bit overriding the Debian partition.


The installation was straightforward and provided a ready to use VM manager for Xen.

Back to ArchLinux, we are now running the previous virtual disk VPC1.img under KVM plus virt-manager. Here are shown the screenshots of the result.

Switching the power profile of the Radeon

Wednesday May 2nd, 2012By: CyrIng

Here you will find our source code to switch the power profile of the Radeon GPU.

The executable file must be owned by root with a SETUID setted, allowing user to write into /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

Using KDE, the programme is bound to the keys [Alt]+[Pause] , thus we can switch profile at any time
