so, i have a full ubuntu-13.04 install on the ancient 2012 nexus tablet. now the only thing left to do is replace the ghastly gnome/unity desktop with something else. might have to do xfce or lxde but first thought i'd try tde if there's a version of it. do we know a repository that has an ARM7 port of whatever tde was around then? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Doctors, modern doctors, are useless and one needs a good environment. Sadly it's harder to find these days. On the bright side, (wee bit brighter) I was told in 1999, I would be dead in 5 years (long story) by 2 doctors. So called experts in the fields. The both dead within 5 years. I'm not happy they died but I can't help but laugh at the irony. Moral of the story is, don't give up. No matter what others tell you. Fight to the end. Kate hopes off her soapbox, places it carefully under her arm... and disappears into the fog.

Anything temporary, dump it. Then go to tdecontrol and set it to clear tmp. Do the same for root, if you use it alot. Kate

I do trim it down the stuff in my home folder once in a while, and back up files to external drives. At least 6 gb of that is 15 years or more of emails.

"Start Job"
by Baron 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi Guys, An annoying issue has appeared ! I'm running Q4OS, Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine with 2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD. Problem: On boot up, maybe every second or third time, I get a black screen with "[*** ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds. 1:30." If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same screen and message. If I let it continue, I then get a page of text with "Ctrl D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login" Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the machine, It then goes back to the start job again. If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what I think maybe logs. At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my normal desktop. At this point if I logout and hard boot the machine, everything comes up as normal. I haven't a clue what is going on here... Help ! Thanks Guys: -- Best Regards: Baron

advice for completion of a stunt
by dep 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

so, to see if i could do it, i've flashed ubuntu 13.04 to a 2012 asus nexus tablet. to my surprise, wifi and such work. *not* to my surprise, i hate hate hate the ubuntu default desktop and want to replace it as soon as i can. after some poking around (made more interesting by an onscreen keyboard that comes and goes as it wishes, irrespective of whether text needs to be entered, which is annoying when you don't need it and maddening when you do), i got a terminal running and sought to install some of the essentials. (by tradition, the first thing i install on a new linux system is mc, because it is the best tool to get me out of whatever trouble i get myself into.) and i discovered that all the repositories are now 404. am hoping to find someplace where they are archived so as to severely edit my sources list and get, among other things, tde. the corresponding debian distro is raring. it does sort of run (though about half the stuff is canonical trying to sell me music and stuff, which i think they've stopped doing anyway) but without a decent desktop i can't imagine how i can put it through its paces. and yes, the icons are tiny, beyond the fact that ubuntu touch kinds sucks in general. in tde i can make the icons bigger. i'm hoping to justify the expenditure of time . . . and tun tde on a tablet. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
