I have left Elementary and returned to Ubuntu, which is on v20 now. I am tired of having Linux stuff just not work. Elementary’s distro upgrade path is a menace, there’s no RDP, cloud disks are a pain in the butt, and now I found problems with bluetooth. Here are my notes on starting up on Ubuntu again. … Continue reading “Back to Ubuntu”
I logged into find my disk to full to use. Why didn’t it tell me? Here are my notes. Continue reading “Raspberry Pi and messages”
This seems to have stopped working, here are my notes. I think I am using onedrive-d, but here are my notes. … Continue reading “Elementary and Onedrive”
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”
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”
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”
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”
I was looking for a small and fast Linux, and chose to experiment with Elive. Here are my notes. Continue reading “Elive (YANF LInux)”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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)”
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”
