Debian or Kali Linux installed to as KVM (libvirtd) guests do not automatically have qemu-guest-agent or spice-vdagent installed. This will prevent seamless movement of the mouse cursor between the guest and host desktop in Virtual Machine Manager (requiring the use of a Ctrl-Alt to release the cursor from the guest window).
To cure this, install both qemu-guest-agent and spice-vdagent on each guest and reboot (the guests).
$ sudo apt install qemu-guest-agent
$ sudo apt install spice-vdagent
The code below was used to generate the video countdown timers that are available in the following playlist using ffmpeg:
#This example will create a 3 second video, with 100 frames per second and it will print the elapsed and remaining times using a two second accuracy.
fps=100;
seconds=3;
mantissaDigits=2;
upperFont=600;
lowerFont=100;
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i ~/Pictures/Black-Background.png -c:v libx264 -r $fps -t $seconds -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "fps=$fps,drawtext=fontfile='/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/C059-Bold.otf':fontcolor=yellow:fontsize=$upperFont:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:text='%{eif\:($seconds-t)\:d}.%{eif\:(mod($seconds-t, 1)*pow(10,$mantissaDigits))\:d\:$mantissaDigits}',drawtext=fontfile='/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/C059-Bold.otf':fontcolor=yellow:fontsize=$lowerFont:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=((h-text_h)/2)+$upperFont:text='Elapsed\: %{eif\:(t)\:d}.%{eif\:(mod(t, 1)*pow(10,$mantissaDigits))\:d\:$mantissaDigits}'" "$seconds seconds countdown timer.mp4";
The PATH is an important concept when working on the command line. It's a list
of directories that tell your operating system where to look for programs, so
that you can just write script instead of /home/me/bin/script or
C:\Users\Me\bin\script. But different operating systems have different ways to
add a new directory to it:
