VHD, VHDX under linux (arch/manjaro) #028

to mount a VHD/VHDX file using vdfuse package, first install it from the AUR repository using pamac-manager, vdfuse . After instalation it is required to edit the line containing #user_allow_other, remove the #, for that use: sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf make two folders, in this case home folder: mkdir ~/VHDFS mkdir ~/Partition1 vdfuse -f VirtualMachine.vhd ~/VHDFS sudo mount ~/VHDFS/Partition1 ~/Partition1 the folder now contains the files in the VHD. note: its possible to perform fsck and ntsfix to the ~/VHDFS/Partition1 folder ntfsfix ~/VHDFS/Partition1 to unmount just: sudo umount /VHDFS/Partition1 or sudo umount /VHDFS

Importing a model or a sub-circuit into LTSpice #026

In LTSpice a model is used for : resistors, capacitors, inductors, ferrite beads, diodes, bipolar transistors, J-FETs, and MOS-FETs. A sub-circuit model is used to combine models and its used for ICs like op-amps. example of a model using transistor BC638 The page "http://ltwiki.org/index.php?title=Components_Library_and_Circuits" contains an expanded version of the files "(...)Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\cmp\*.*" named Standard.zip, inside the file standard.bjt contains more models for standard bipolar junction transistors. Either extract all files into the LTSpice \lib\cmp\ folder or, open standard.bjt with a text editor, and copy the line containing the model. for this example, the following line will be copied : .MODEL BC638 PNP(... ... ...) and placed at the end of the standard.bjt Now after creating a new schematic and adding a pnp component, the option to add BC638 appears: example of a sub-circuit...

Kaffeine, h265, mpv video player configuration

since the core i7-4500u Haswell CPU can't decode h265 I done some research on what player uses less resources to watch them, after some googling and some measuring here are the results: obtained in Manjaro 18.1.0 KDE Plasma, using a media file containing : Bit rate: 1 727 kb/s Width: 1 920 pixels Height: 1 012 pixels Format profile: Main 10@L4@Main Codec ID: V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC Writing library: x265 2.6 mpv Media Player is the one that uses more cpu VLC media player uses slightly less Media Player Classic Qute Player uses almost less 20% of cpu compared to VLC Kaffeine that uses the GStreamer library, and that's how I found about it, uses 12% less CPU then MPC-QT, it actually plays at a lower frequency and lower cpu usage, power usage report went from 7.5watts to 6.1watts. web page : link Puting some more time into Hardware video acceleration, reading this : link Checking what driver is installed through system settings: and I got: "Waiting for u...
