All Linux Things

Looks like you are really enjoy the Elitedesk machine. A nice piece of hardware is a joy to use.

Kalendar has reached version 1. It is a desktop calendar for Plasma. It uses the same backend as Korganizer, so if you have that setup either on its own or via Kontact, Kalendar will open with access to your calendars. You just need to select the calendars to use them. It works very well with NextCl...

That's a nice link. Mr. Dai-Trying has some nice bash shell scripts on the home page of this site. I bought a couple O'Riley books on bash scripting, which were way more than I needed, but interesting to read. I always thought of bash scripting as just being a continuation of the bat files from DOS.

if I get a good enough job offer this week.. May the gods of jobs and work smile on you. I do not think I would enjoy supporting desktop users at all, in fact I am pretty sure I would really suck at it. In woodworking my typical line was, "You said you knew how to use the tools. Either figure ...

After pickuping up the X220 tablet I did have a minute of, "What were you thinking!". I am really glad I did get it though. The X220 was by far my favorite laptop and it is nice to have one up and working again. I found in my pail full of RAM another 8GB SODIMM for the X220, so I can confi...

I bought an HP 2 in 1 laptop/tablet as a graduation gift for niece a couple years back. I had got it used from a fellow who just did not like it. I cleaned off his stuff and set it up fresh, I was surprised at how few option were available it the UEFI firmware compared to what use to be available in...

Just a quick follow up on this. With Endeavour upgrading to 5.24 it is left missing a couple packages to activate the finger print reader you need to add fprintd and libfprint. After I did that on the X220 the finger print configuration showed up in the Users section of System Settings. The overview...

Endeavour updated on the X220 and I do not see anything about setting up a finger print reader. The system does see the finger print reader. I did at one point have Gnome on an X220 and I know that Gnome recognize it.

I beleive I read that RedHat was the maintainer of xorg and they were looking for a new maintainer with eventual plans to drop xorg. FreeBSD is discussing whether to investigate porting wayland to BSD. I would guess that will not happen during my lifetime:) However FreeBSD has the same KDE version a...
