scenario: you have a windows vm failing to boot with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE and changing the disk type to ide or something else causes another bsod. how to you get it to boot up again without a physical machine?

download the stable virtio drivers from here, in iso form: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso

add the iso to your qemu/virt manager config as a cd/dvd drive

windows should send you to the recovery mode screen, but if it doesn't you might have to run a windows install iso to get to it.

Ubuntu 16 default python is almost python 3

Loads of solutions exist, but for changing the system default, alias is not the way to go.

$ update-alternatives --list python update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for python

This is a Python script to extract GNOME/GTK's color scheme and apply it to Wine, so that the themes (approximately) match.

Instructions:
1. Set your Gnome theme as you would like it
2. Run with a command like "python wine_colors_from_gtk.py"
3. Restart any apps running in Wine.  They should match the Gnome theme colors now.
