Good morning, everyone.

Hanging out with my eight year old. She's the only other one awake in the house.

Installing a UAP-AC-LITE in my Dad's house.

What are your plans for it?
My Dad will do stuff like this and when he's done with it, he'll take it all apart and do something else with it.

@scottalanmiller It's good. I'm struggling with 1920 x 1080 on a 14" screen. I'm looking to see how I can change DPI or set the resolution to lower than 1920 x 1080 and still have a 16:9 aspect ratio. I contacted system76 to see if there are other 16:9 ratios native to this display.
Dominica had that issue with her 4K screen, but when she moved to Korora it just fixed that problem. For her, Korora scaled everything to the right sizes.
On here yoga?

Had a biscuit with sausage gravy and a bacon chocolate chip waffle. The lady had chicken and waffles with collard greens.
-
Cloning a drive in a failed Vista system to a USB disk.
Tried to just mount it, so I could copy user files but it failed.
We'll see if this works in 4 hours or so.
-
@JaredBusch Not the same use case, but this weekend I discovered
ddfor making bootable USB drives. -

ddfor making bootable USB drives.dd is one of those tools that once you learn how powerful and simple it is, you can't figure out why Windows is lacking it. It's amazing how often the answer on Windows is "if only you had dd this wouldn't be an issue."
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah. The process for windows (which works most of the time) is
- cleaning a disk with diskpart
- creating a new primary partition, formatting it, and marking it as active with diskpart
- Mounting an iso file and copying its contents onto the newly prepared USB drive from above.
-
Yeah, live booted to the Korora USB I had in my bag from converting my desktop and laptop.
User has a new computer, but I need to try and save the data.
