Today I learnt

Today I learned the difference between qemu:///system and qemu:///session. qemu:///system The system libvirtd instance qemu:///system launches the vms using the unpriviliges use qemu. And can grant the vm selective access to root owned resources. Access to qemu:///system is mediated using polkit and any user wanting to access it should provite the root password. By default users in the libvirt group have access to libvirtd (the group can be changed in polkit config) VMs are run as the default user qemu, and cannot access user files if the frontend application (virt-manager) is running another user....

Today I learned about Qemu overlay storage images. To create an overlay image from a backing image we use the following command: qemu-img create -o backing_file=img1.raw,backing_fmt=raw -f qcow2 img1.cow Then we can boot from the new image, and changes to its filesystem will be recorded in the overlay image. qemu-system-x86_64 img1.cow The backing image absolute path is stored in the new image, so changing the its path require manual entervention....

Today I learned What Ubuntu means. Ubuntu is a South African ethonophylosophy, the word translates to “Humanity” or “The essence of being human”. The philosophy gravitate towards the idea of relational identity. “A person is a person through other people”. Another thing to note abour Ubuntu is that is the way it approaches Justice.
