There’s a step missing in the article to repair the bootloader. In it, you reinstall the kernel but this resets the flags for the packages in the package manager so they’re no longer automatically cleaned up, causing the boot partition to fill up. I’ll reach out to support soon to see what the default settings should be so that I can correct it. 🙂
Eventually, I’ll probably look at seeing if I can help update the steps on their end to include all this information since the docs are open source:)
The wild grapes are ready! They’re medium sized, deep red ones and delicious!
I’m a big fan of Qalculate and have been using it for years. It’s got tons of features and conversions that are incredibly useful! 🙂
Good to know! Mine is a Creative SoundBlaster brand, I believe. Not entirely sure of the exact model, though. I haven’t really messed with it since 2010. It used to belong to my dad… 😛
Haven’t experienced issues with VR yet! There was another driver update released the other day, though, so I may install it. Since VR is a newish thing, it’s probably a good idea to stay on top of the driver updates 🙂
It booted okay today so not really sure why it was taking a minute or two to sort out the line for a couple of days. /shrug
Probably going to need to reach out on the Linux forums about the audio. A cursory look at the docs didn’t give me an idea on if the jacks can be remapped from input to output on Linux like they can on Windows.
Haven’t tried hooking up another monitor yet. Want to try and get the kinks out of things before I do too much. 🙂
Sounds good. Will be watching for the thread! 🙂
I wouldn’t say I’m sold on it just yet, still trying to figure out my way in it. The tutorial left a lot of things out, unfortunately.
Not yet sure of the feasibility of playing on a shoestring budget as I haven’t run the numbers yet but I’ll get there!
😀
Wasn’t aware that Wiki gave out stars! Cool!
Will probably need to remap the audio jacks as well. No idea how to do that so some reading is required!
Seems rather contentious! Just installed Synaptic here and it’ll definitely serve my purposes of searching out packages for install. 🙂
I do have one in the closet from fifteen years ago. It’s an old X-Fi. I may dig it out and see if it still works at some point
So after hooking up the VR headset and having it unplugged at bootup, the video card is getting confused about which video output to use even though the monitor is the only one hooked in to the card. Takes a minute or so for it to figure it out and then it works right. Rather minor problem but I may take a look in the UEFI and see if there’s a way to correct things in there but I suspect it’s something in the card’s firmware and would need to be fixed by a card revision
Anything else I should consider doing? Been a long time since I had to set up a system 🙂
I used to have it set to randomize the screensaver. Sometimes I’d get a bouncing cow while other times a BSoD. Was quite fun!
Great!
Oh! I’ve just about hit the limits of a free player in Eve. Well, with skill training at least. It only takes about a month of skill training to max out the skills available to free players. Not sure about game content yet as I just got out of the tutorial the other day 🙂
And finally got Starfield added to the wishlist. Took me long enough 😛
Another large one: 125 GB! This is really getting out of hand!
Beautiful!
Currently using Firefox but I’ve got Chrome downloaded. I’ll probably get it installed soon as I greatly prefer it 🙂
Bit funny about security so I’ll post it in our private thread 🙂
I wouldn’t exactly say they’re easy to work with but they’re getting better! Having a log-viewer definitely helps as the CLI tools can be a bit cumbersome with looking at the logs
Yeah, I really should get a UPS. Will add it to the list!
The VR base stations do make a noticeable humming noise but I wouldn’t call it obnoxious or anything 🙂
Definitely not a fan of the Pop Store. It has a limited view that, while sleek, doesn’t give you enough information. For instance, it doesn’t always tell you the last update to the package or if it’s a Flatpack or not. Not a fan of Flatpack installs as it adds some dependency issues that the regular package managers take care of so things aren’t as neat and tidy with Flatpack. May try out Synaptic. I like having both a GUI package manager and a CLI one for different use cases. I like to use the graphical one to find software, the CLI one to install to help me monitor things so that I can better take care of issues if they arise
Eureka! Windows audio has been resolved! Okay, you need to install the audio drivers from Gigabyte as well. Windows doesn’t source them automatically and I wasn’t able to find them on the Realtek website. Connecting is a bit finicky: you need to remap the jacks in the Realtek Audio Console to speaker output jacks. It does mean you lose line in and mic jacks, though, and the Mira doesn’t have front jacks so with this configuration you’ll definitely need a sound card if you want analog line-in and mic-in. The other option is to go USB for the line-in and mic-in.
Don’t have a heatgun yet! I’ve read that a hair dryer can double as one if you need it to 😛
I’ve always used the -ise form of words as opposed to -ize myself. Probably comes from growing up with books written by British authors 😛
Yep! The hunt continues! They also now think that time moved differently at the beginning of the Universe!
Great! Never had oxtail before. Closest I’ve had has been lamb neck, which is not at all close 😛
What did you put in it?
Saw this one the other day. It was a riot!
Got Kill Bill on the watch list now, too! 🙂
Been meaning to say that I made duck soup the other week! No Marx Brothers were harmed!
It was very good. It consisted of duck, duck broth, mushrooms, noodles, rice wine, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Incredibly easy!
Doing some reading, it sounds like a cool gun isn’t a good early project. I’ll go through my electronics books again and see if something stands out.
Would also like to code something, just not sure what. Maybe it’s time to fire up the Arduino that’s been laying around?
XScreensaver deserves a mention! *nix only, though 🙂
Yep! And it never gets old! You can never rewatch the show too many times! 🙂
This is actually the first time I’ve played it. I’ve played similar games in the past, though. Yeah, they seem to charge for a lot of things but we shall see how things go playing for free. Still early in trying it out 🙂
Yeah, game sizes are enormous these days. Storage devices aren’t increasing capacity fast enough!
Weather hasn’t been cooperating 🙁
Been taking it out in the mornings due to the heat but it’s so humid that it’s not much better. I was walking to the store the other day early in the morning and it was so humid that I was drenched by the time I got there
It’s also been raining a lot, making things pretty difficult. Hopefully I’ll be able to start back up in a few weeks!
Gorgeous!
Sometimes, there are beautiful lightning shows tens of miles away that we can see here and without the thunder. I really enjoy watching them in the dark! 🙂
Been trying out Eve Online the last few days (will get back to NMS soon!) and I’m enjoying it even if it’s a spreadsheet simulator with very nice visuals 😛
And Microsoft Flight Simulator is 150 GB…? That would probably need a drive all on its own!
Edit:
I think I’ll get a thread up for project ideas. Give me a bit as things are rather busy over here 🙂
Great!
For tracing the genealogies, the Imperial Library may be helpful 🙂
It should be the same! But I’ll confirm when I get the opportunity! 🙂
I think my aunt did our family tree a while ago. I may reach out to her and see if I can get a copy of it 🙂
Great, thanks! Will give ’em a go soon! 🙂
