Make sure you run mysql_sercure_installation after installing MariaDB.

pi@nextCloud:~ $ mysql -v -bash: mysql: command not found pi@nextCloud:~ $ mysql -bash: mysql: command not found

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

I actually just did that with mysql-server....

You should be ripping everything to a good format instead of mp3.... FLAC and AAC give similar file sizes and far better audio quality.

and far fewer things that can play them.

VLC has always been able to play both those formats. Not sure why people use other media players.

kinda hard to use VLC in my car, unless they have an Android version that supports FLAC? Honestly, no clue if they do, I've never looked - I rarely listen to music I primarily listen to podcasts.

VLC exists on android, so I'm sure that FLAC support is either built in or available to add on. Checking on my phone now...

"VLC for Android is a full audio player, with a complete database, an equalizer and filters, playing all weird audio formats."

Nice..

Get the larger one. Think about wear leveling in hardware (which often does not work or simply does not exist except in high-end products) or in software using specialized filesystems like YAFFS and others.

Try to keep your partitions small if you plan to create images.

That moment when you have spent 3 hours waiting (5 min here and there) and then realize you are in the WRONG DNS Management Page....

The template you're using for this graph should be 0_1483638046239_chrome_2017-01-05_12-40-35.png

That's for CPU Load, not for CPU Utilization.

I have used omv in my test lab here and at home a bit. The test lab it worked well, but i just ended up using ubuntu and iscsi when i had to put something in production. omv just has a web interface, some plugins to turn on. Sort of like webmin lite but for only storage. Development seems active; they keep producing new builds.
At home i installed it as a vm for a bit but when i broke my Xenproject i ended up reformatting that drive and omv with it.

Dominica uses it because the blue light keeps her more awake and she often just wants to fall asleep when using her phone.

Yep, that's the app. I think you can change the settings in General > Storage & iCloud Usage > iCloud Manage Storage > [Choose Device] > Show All Apps and switch it on/off from there.

Looking at this as a replacement.

Setup VPN via Windows - about half the time it will connect, then fail, and fail to reconnect.

Pertino will connect and allow access

Pertino kills the ability to connect to O365 via Outlook, and they must use OWA unless they disconnect the Pertino.

What a battle this has been... back and forth with it.

Why not push them to the web interface if it doesn't have issues? That seems like the most reasonable and simplest solution.

No one seems to like the web version.

I feel like more people just need to be pushed to use it. I think most just don't try it and say they don't like it to not have to do something new.

Agreed. Due to calendar issues if we go to O365, webmail will be a requirement, no more Outlook

I have used the tough cable on jobs with outdoor APs for wireless bridges. You should use jacks with the metal shield on them. It's not much harder, but they are harder to find and more expensive.

So the question is how long ago did this client make these ISP changes, and does the time correlate to this 12 week time frame?

Also - is connecting to the local desktop the only option on using that computers speakers?

I've installed MATE, and am able to connect via that now - but it plays Pithos using the main computers speakers. not what I want... when I have the stereo system on the other side of the room....

There should be options to tunnel the sound through the SSH session.

He wants to use X2Go as a remote control for the machine with the audio playing.

Ah ok. I read that wrong, my bad.

@travisdh1
Of the three videos of the 'same ' project, they all soldered wires to GPIO and Power pins on the bottom, and then used electrical tape to insulate the USB metal housing from the board.

I expected that someone could 3d print a bottom cover / USB housing...

Seems like ZeroTier really took over the work that Pertino was doing. Not directly, but in a sense.

You can adjust the height of the reply box to fix that.

Grab the arrow and drag up. My tablet sometimes gets messed up like that.

had not noticed that previous. but I see that now. Thank you.

@gjacobse said in New Laptop needed:

$718

Use the drive that is in it until you find a good deal on an SSD.

Sadly booting the system on another similar laptop didn't resolve the clean shutdown. And when I try to boot on a different computer, I get a Partition Table error.

So mounted as Read Only and am in the process of moving the user profile(s) to an external drive.

sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb1 /media/username/Ubuntu

Is what I had to use.
