What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Reinstalled Linux on my Chromebook. Switched to Gnome 3, XFCE was bothering me.
-
@johnhooks How does CentOS perform on a Chromebook? Or do you have Ubuntu installed?

I just have Ubuntu installed. I used Crouton which makes a chroot. They don't have support for any rpm distros that I could find. This way I can switch between ChromeOS and Linux.

@johnhooks Thanks
-
Luciana has a fever of 102 now
-
@scottalanmiller Crappy. I hate it when my kids are sick
Tylenol to the rescue! -
I just did an in place upgrade from 8.1 to 10 on my main desktop.
Flawless so far, everything works.
-
Just ordered my first Eaton UPS!

So if you want to run Gnome 3 on your Chromebook, you need to do this. If you don't, after you exit the DE in the chroot and try to enter again it's just blank.
enter chroot (sudo enter-chroot -n trusty)
edit /etc/default/locale file (it didn't exist for me)
put the following two lines in this file. Log out and then "startgnome"LANGUAGE=en LANG="en_US.utf8" -
@johnhooks How is the performance? Fast, slow?

Pretty quick. I have the Toshiba Chromebook 2 with a dual core Celeron and 4GB RAM. Not sure how performance would be on ARM and less RAM.
-
@johnhooks Good to know. Thanks.

Wish mine would have been that simple. I have an add on usb3 card that refused to work at first, then just started working out of the blue, no change that I could see besides some updates.
-
@travisdh1 This desktop is loaded with all kinds of odd software. So I deliberately held off on the upgrade until now.
No glitches yet. Maybe I'll get bitten by a few.

In all honesty, it's the smoothest transitions between major releases I can remember, at least on a desktop.

That just happened to me with my led controller arduino that I have in my arcade stick

Custom art was done by hibachifinal on the SRK forums.It's the highest quality arcade stick I have ever seen and I go to tournaments for Street Fighter often.

Just had a giant millipede in our game room. In getting him outside we literally scared the crap out of him. Ewww.

I've been thinking of building myself an arcade stick/cabinet. That is really cool!

Thanks! I was researching everything intending on building my own as well but the guy (Jasen) who built it is a nuclear engineer for the Navy. I just couldn't beat his stick, there is no way. I wish I had it with me right now to show you how unbelievably clean the internal cabling is. It's crazy. Metal body too.

Huh, I went to grad school with a nuclear engineer from the Navy, he was interested in old school gaming too.
The metal body is nice. I was thinking of doing mine in clear acrylic or plexiglass. That black metal finish is super clean though.
