Hey all… I’m trying to install Qemu on Kali and there are so many tutorials that require different packages, or offer conflicting advice…

Checking debians wiki documentation about installing KVM, the installation is pretty bare bones, and Qemu’s official documentation is entirely different… some videos I’ve watched all seem to advise different packages (ex libosinfo, which doesn’t seem to exist or its name has changed… tuned is another one not mentioned in official documentation..

I guess what I’m asking is can someone point me to a proper KVM/Qemu setup for Kali/Debian cause there’s lots of conflicting info.

Also while doing this, I came to learn about KVM_SEV — seems worth using if my cpu/firmware allows is and I’m getting conflicting info about that as well..

For instance : if I run, $zgrep CONFIG_KVM /boot/config-(uname -r) ,
I do get CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=y …

Additionally, running $sudo virt-host-validate I get output that everything passes except “QEMU: checking for secure guest support : WARN (AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization appears to be disabled in kernel. Add kvm_amd.sev=1 to kernel cmdline arguments”

When I looked up to add that to my grub file, I didn’t brick anything, but I still get the same change.

Anyway, thanks for your help in advance!

I’m in one of those modes we find ourselves in where I’m constantly scrolling though the deals page looking at titles, and spending more time in the menus than playing games… I also know I have a large backlog of games I haven’t finished or even touched…

I’d like to find a Single player game that has a great story… I like RPG’s , action/adventure, sci-if, fantasy, and soulslikes (preferably those, but open to others).

*Some* games I have had my eye on :

- Resident Evil 9

- Pragmata

- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

- Hell is US

- Khazan First Beserker

- MGS : Delta remake

- Death Stranding 1+2 (Hear/read great things but can’t get passed it seems like a glorified walking sim)

- Soros

Some games in my backlog :

- Alan Wake 2

- Ghost of Yotei

- Dragons Dogma (hard time trying to like it but maybe didn’t get far enough? )

- Metaphor ReFantazio

- Dead Space remake

- Returnal

- Dragon Quest XI

- NIOH 1+2 (tried Nioh 1 long time ago, and couldn’t bring myself to play passed the opening act..)

- Countless others from the PS catalogue

I’ve been playing lots of Elden Ring (another title I haven’t finished). I absolutely love ER, but I need a title I can open up and get drawn into a story…

I know this sort of thing happens to gamers every so often… Sometimes it just feels paralyzing with so many titles, and none of them are really scratching that “itch”, unless you spend money on a new title… I blame American consumerism…

Hi gang, looking for a solution to make an image backup of an OS (Windows in this case, but would be great if it could work on Linux) , and instead of just a simple back up, I was wondering if there were solutions to make them bootable for a VM?
