Screencast: Virtual Machine Manager, Fedora 11 Preview

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2009-06-11 16:52. Fedora | screencast

I've been doing quite a few Fedora 11 installs on various hardware in preparation for the review of I'm working on but I wanted to give a short glimpse of KVM in Fedora 11 with the Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager). I also show MontanaLinux (a Fedora 11 remix), some of the new features in Fedora 11 and some additional software.

For those running a browser that can do HTML 5's video tag (like Firefox 3.5 beta), you can watch the Ogg Theora version which is about 1/3 the filesize of the Flash version but bigger and better quality. Or download it: kvm-fedora11-preview-smaller.ogv (right-click, Save link as...)

Got Me to Try Virtualbox

Submitted by Gen2ly (not verified) on Fri, 2009-06-12 21:03.

Your post got me stoked enough to try VirtualBox to test the Fedora 11 LiveCD. I noticed that your startup time wasn't so fast. Does this have to do with Virtualization in general because I have a CPU that doesn't support virtualization, or is this just an effect of virtualization software???

Also, I'd like to know what screencast software you used. I use recordmydesktop which does ok but I like the ability you had where you were able to move the capture-area down a bit.

Thanks, great post.

Slow startup?

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2009-06-15 15:46.

Not sure what you mean by slow startup... seemed fast enough to me. Since I was using KVM, VT in the CPU was present (since it is required for KVM).

I used gtk-recordmydesktop... and the moving of the window was just me moving a window so that it would better fit within the screen recording area... so it wasn't really a feature of the recording software. If you want to reposition a window by clicking anywhere on it (even it it is full screened), just hold down the ALT key when dragging.
