    Need assistance booting onto USB stick with Linux distro

    @kc1di has already answered this, but I'll add this anyway. To the Linux kernel, i386, i486, i586 & i686 differ; referring to different levels of x86 32-bit processors. Debian (which includes Debian based such as Ubuntu) do not follow this classification, when it comes to media (ISOs). Debian...

    Distros for the visually impaired

    Some effort was put in the Ubuntu-MATE numerous cycles ago, with effort being made to ensure it would install & be made operational by someone with low visibility, but particularly operational. I believe from feedback they got it done pretty well. I'm aware problems appeared with the installer...

    Today's article has you playing with trees...

    I suspect (and I don't want to look why) it was pulled in as a depends rule as I don't see it, and can't imagine why it'd be in our seed file. As we don't seed it, differences between releases are more likely in my view. I did an apt-cache rdepends tree but nothing there 'grabbed me' as...

    Today's article has you playing with trees...

    I do prefer trees that have birds on them... (and I do mean the feathered variety) That command reminds me of online scam videos on youtube etc.. as that command is often used (I think) to distract the victim as the scammer tells them it's scanning for malware and .... Anyway, tree was...

    SSH configuration is getting erased after multiple Power shutdown's and restart.

    I wrote that, yet I'm not sure what I was trying to say. Thus I apologize.. I likely was saying the question read to me like I'd seen the question before (I scan many sites), but either way I don't recall & my language is so poor I have difficulty reading my intent! Sorry. Ubuntu 20.04 &...

    My observations about Rolling releases.

    Lubuntu adds their wallpapers/backgrounds via lubuntu-artwork (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-artwork) thus if you were using LXQt only packages and didn't include the Lubuntu configurations; I'd expect Debian wallpapers. FYI: This can be experienced too with other flavor...

    ASUS Eee PC 1000

    32-bit i686 on Linux has a 4GB limitation, but i686 with PAE or physical address extensions the same RAM limitation applies to x86_64 & i686 (ie. 32bit data with 64-bit RAM addresses are used with PAE for intel/AMD) I've used up to 8GB in 32-bit i686 (with PAE) testing, with that limit being...

    ASUS Eee PC 1000

    I still have the following in my list of QA test machines - asus eepc 1000HE (intel atom n270, 1gb, intel mobile 945gse integrated) My device still has what I consider a good battery (ie. it'll operate for many hours), it was used in QA or Quality Assurance testing of releases up to Ubuntu...

    Today's article is a repeat... Oops...

    As I was ~told on 6-May-2023 when I queried some web site issues (the access issues were fixed, but web site still hadn't been updated) I just received confirmation that the "major rework" needed on the Ubuntu Cinnamon website still hasn't been performed, thus Ubuntu Cinnamon's website may not...

    Everything created by the Ubuntu Cinnamon project before 23.04 is a remix. The Ubuntu Cinnamon team can still support their remix creations, they first release as a flavor is 23.04 and the official flavor ISOs will exist like all other flavors, at cdimage.ubuntu.com. I can't disagree with...

    Installing Bionic Puppy Linux to hard drive

    I still use devices on occasion that have only 1GB (or 1.5GB) of RAM, being pentium M laptops from 2003-2004. I have a device with intel atom n270 CPU (i386 only; though dual thread) that I still use though rarely (I dislike it's 91% reduced-size keyboard the main reason I ignore it). I also...

    REVIEW - Ubuntu 23.04 'Lunar Lobster' - Cinnamon - Wizards Corner

    Lubuntu back when we provided LXDE had these both, ie. The 18.04.5 manifest (https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04/release/lubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-amd64.manifest) will show both on the ISO, and both were installed. From 18.10 as we'd switched to LXQt, we'd replaced synaptic with...

    SSH configuration is getting erased after multiple Power shutdown's and restart.

    Obvious possible reason is the Ubuntu image you're using isn't actually an installed system, but mounted as RO/squash & thus changes are lost on reboot. The other main reason would be a choice of the installer or person who configured it (ie. intentionally made non-persistent). You've asked...

    I could have also mentioned I always use apt full-upgrade as there are cases where apt upgrade will not install all upgrades. From man apt I get the following for my mantic release ie. if removal of packages are required; apt upgrade will not not install the upgrades, so you can elect to...

    Today's article is a repeat... Oops...

    Ubuntu Cinnamon was not an official flavor before 23.04. I'll quote from Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Issue 781 for end March-1st-April 2023 No ISOs of Ubuntu Cinnamon products will exist before the beta of 23.04, as they weren't created by Ubuntu and were respins by the then unofficial Ubuntu...

    Installing Bionic Puppy Linux to hard drive

    I'm adding this comment here only as I noted bionic.. which I believe relates to Ubuntu's bionic release which is more or less end of standard support. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or bionic was released in 2018-April with 5 years of standard support, which could be extended via ESM/Pro for a further five...

    What was your first Linux distribution and version of that distribution?

    I don't remember what version, but it was Debian (1.3 or 2.0) I was back at school (late 90s) & I was using a portable compaq III for taking notes.. It's an old thing with 80286 & 5.25" floppies, and another guy in my classes who worked in IT felt it was so out of place. He introduced me to...

    Anyone else feel weird when they see unknown linux os's. Stuff like Zorin OS

    Not everything is there.. I went there, and it had no information about Suicide Linux... :oops: ( A recent podcast talked about it, thus I looked at it.. It's a generic Debian system with a [modified] shell that deletes the system if you make any error. ) The size of the large SVG file @KGIII...

    Australia - The Land Down Under

    I can't say I like re-living that advert, though I do remember it (radio mostly I think). I fear I heard it too often to fully appreciate it. Putting the vegemite next to the salt & pepper, asking if someone wanted 'tea, coffee or bonox'? etc.. Oh the repitition of advertizing...
