@Patrick the 15.0.1.9.3 images are live but the links are broken because they don’t take the new Intel_AMD naming into account. Can you please adjust the templates to allow for multiple archs?

OK what is the stable version no.? Because in practice the main KVM download page always provided the latest point release.

15.0.1.9.3 can be stable whenever you’re comfortable / tested.
This time maybe KVM version will be release before VirtualBox version which is in the making but that’s alright. All packages are in the stable repo already anyhow.

Lots of users currently failing to install Whonix KVM. Perahps due to changed file names? (Multiple Architecture Documentation (multiarch))
- Is the Decompress step still up to date?
- Is the Moving Whonix ™ Image Files step still up to date? Users posting file not found error.
- What is the default download folder for Firefox, Chromium, Tor Browser nowadays?
- There needs to be some guidance where downloaded KVM images should be stored. If files are stored in the ~/Download folder, then the extract and move command will fail from the home folder. One would need to
cdto the download folder beforehand.
Storing KVM images in the home folder would be easy but it’s
- messy
- conflicts with AppArmor
Added complexity is a re-download of a newer KVM version. In that case it would be better to move the existing ~/Download folder out of the way to prevent copying old release files.
They use wildcards and so are unaffected by our naming scheme. I’ve already applied them and they work, so the reason must be something else
For firefox it is home/user/Downloads, probably same for Chromium. The instructions assume they lie in the home folder.
Easier to just tell them to download at /home/user IMO.
It would help if they can be more specific about what step fails and with what message.
EDIT:
Added the above point about the home folder on the wiki

The instructions assume there’s no old tarballs and that the older version was deleted from virt-machine manager. In the latter situation, moving the new files and importing the XML would overwrite the current install anyhow.

Official KVM logo, I think.

Original KVM logo looked non-ideal imo. Too similar to Linux tux. Therefore a new version which is now used in Whonix wiki and on Whonix homepage has been made available. Hope that’s OK.

I’ll soon get the SVG version. Then, if you like, you could donate it on the KVM mailing list. The copyright can be assigned to KVM developers or public domain, whichever they choose. If they’re interested, they could use it as their new project logo. Unconditional donation with no strings attached of course.
However, of course others such as Whonix wiki would appropriate if use under fair use would continue to be permitted to talk about KVM in ways it’s reasonable impossible to confuse it with the original project such as showing “this Whonix download link is for Whonix KVM version”. That however is not a condition.
He’s how the preview image will look like in this forums:

Looks good. I like how compact it is. The identity of KVM is tied to the kernel so much that it’s indistinguishable - maybe that’s why they designed the way they did.

Would be better mentioning Linux too?

No this is implied by Tux and not included in the original.
Link Kicksecure ™ for KVM with Xfce is deprecated. That would be Kicksecure ™ for KVM with Xfce now, waiting to be populated.

Hopefully I’ll get to it soon. Any idea what a common graphics intensive program I can use to benchmark?
