Remote Desktop & Elementary OS
Been trying to access my laptop running Elementary using a remote desktop protocol and it’s harder than I’d want. I have not yet finished and so this documents how not to do it. Here are my notes. … Continue reading “Remote Desktop & Elementary OS”
Elementary OS & Printing
I decided to try and get printing to work on elementary, with my HP Envy 4527. Here are my notes … Continue reading “Elementary OS & Printing”
Raspberry Pi III
My third attempt to build a raspberry pi, it seemed easier to start a third page than refactor the last one. Here are my notes. Continue reading “Raspberry Pi III”
About Porteus, yanf Linux
It’s meant to be small and fast, but I want to run it as a virtual box guest. I have suspended this project, but here are my notes. Continue reading “About Porteus, yanf Linux”
Elive (YANF LInux)
I was looking for a small and fast Linux, and chose to experiment with Elive. Here are my notes. Continue reading “Elive (YANF LInux)”
Ubuntu on AWS
While writing my piece on DAAS, two years ago, where I came to the conclusion that Azure was a better host, I also looked at Ubuntu on Amazon. Here are my notes which consist mainly of videos. Continue reading “Ubuntu on AWS”
Scuttle and tagging
Having found my old delicious list, I thought I might see how useful it remains. The tags are not visible and so I would need a tool and my mind turned to Scuttle, which I have used before. As ever, here are some notes … Continue reading “Scuttle and tagging”
Raspberry Pi and LVM
My NAS Box Fan has failed, I need to decide to repair or replace. One obvious answer is to use my “Pi” to serve out a pair of mirrored USB connected disks. How to do that on a PI? Here are my notes … Continue reading “Raspberry Pi and LVM”
Raspberry Pi Part Deux
I have decided to have another look. Here are my notes, since re-factoring the old page seems a bit of a chore. And now part three, I may need to rebuild the OS image from scratch. Continue reading “Raspberry Pi Part Deux”
Upgrading Elementary OS
I needed to update my Elementary build, by quite a bit. Sadly it still needs a re-install via a USB, and so some of the notes on Installing elementary OS using a USB remains useful. I am upgrading from Freya to Loki (0.4.x) , will version 1.0 be Odin. Continue reading “Upgrading Elementary OS”
Systemd (ptui)
It seems systemd can’t be avoided. I am annoyed at having to relearn stuff for a problem not worth solving. Here are my notes as I learn to use it. Continue reading “Systemd (ptui)”
Fedora 24
This is quite different, in particular the System V init files don’t work any more and so I need to implement a systemd solution to mount the virtual box shared folders. I think these need to run after the vboxaddclient service. Some documentation suggests that LSB compliant scripts will work. I am about to stop and give it a rest; I am definitely of the view that this was a problem not worth solving. Continue reading “Fedora 24”
Raspberry Pi
I bought a Raspberry Pi to act as a Media Server in the home. I bought a PI, case, SD card and power source. As ever here are my notes. Currently, getting started (or 1st boot), 1st customisations, and early days with the media browsers and XBMC/Kodi. I have BBC, ITV and YouTube working, Channel 4 is going to be very hard and so is Sky, since among other things since Silverlight is deprecated.
I have given up, and bought a Roku stick. In addition to the challenges of getting all the channels I want, even v3 of the Pi struggles with iplayer HD; it might be the CPU, it might be the BT broadband plus speed but it’s too hard. I shall reconstruct the page and use comments, as one of the purposes of making a notes page was collecting the various web pages that helped me get to wherever I got. Continue reading “Raspberry Pi”
Ubuntu 14, add user visible
I screwed up the installation of a U14 Gnome installation and the user was not prompted on the desktop login panel. This was fixed by using the settings -> user accounts control.
