pimath's VM - Twilight The Arch Mage (or Twilight, for short)
« on: November 22, 2014, 07:49:54 pm »
So I'm VM'ing Arch!

This is the one I set up on my PC at home. As you see, it has mate, and that's about it. I'll take suggestions here for what I should do with it.
Spoiler For large:


I also set one up at school (with the teacher's permission, no less). I'll get pics of that once it is fully operational.
I am Bach.

Why do you ask if it's a VM ? This is something to try even on a dual-boot installation, or better, on a single-boot installation.
* Hayleia runs

Anyway, what to do with Linux (whatever distro it is) ? Well, write some code ! :D
For example, if you are currently working on an Axe project, you can set up TIlEm, tok8x and vim (with Axe syntax highlighting) and start working very efficiently :)
And when you need to convert a sprite into hex, write a tool for it instead of using online tools :P
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

What Hayleia said. I'm about to write a toolchain to boost my Axe productivity (namely Illusiat). That's one of the best things on Linux, the fact that it encourages scripting and writing your own tools. :)

VM?
Try rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
* Sorunome runs
Try "kill -9 -1". Gives you a nice kernel panic! Or SysRq+C.
* Vogtinator runs away really quickly and hides
(Even if you're doing it in a VM, SysRq get executed by the host, so you'll crash your system  >:D )

Yeah, but don't run it as root. Instead, do
Code: [Select]
sudo chmod u+s `which rm` and you can execute rm -rf --no-preserve-root / safely as your user.  :devil:

Anyway, why not setup Xen inside your VM, install a PV VM in Xen and try LXC.

I think I'll set up a Calc environment first. Then I'll try some more fancy stuff.

It's Alt+SysRq+C. You can also try this one to simulate this keyboard shortcut so you can do it in a VM:
Code: [Select]
echo c > /proc/sysrq-triggerIf it's not working, enable the feature with
Code: [Select]
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?
