Installing Xubuntu 19.04 on my Thinkpad T430s

I've been using my Thinkpad T430s for game development using the GameMaker Studio engine (GMS). GMS only runs on Windows, though it can produce Linux and Mac OS X files. My desktop computer has 2 drives inside it, a 512GB SSD that I just upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04 and a 1TB drive running Windows 10. I already have both GMS 1.x and 2.x installed on my desktop computer. Additionally my desktop computer has 2 monitors, so it makes more sense that I use it for game development.

I've been uploading some Youtube videos to my @chaslinux account lately, always recording them in Linux. These have all been recorded on my desktop computer - which isn't located in the best place for recording. It makes much more sense for me to record on the laptop, so I'm switching the laptop to Xubuntu 19.04. Actually I should say switched because in the time it took me to start this post to this point the installation finished (actually it finished about 4 minutes before I got to this point).

I mentioned earlier that I already upgraded to Xubuntu 19.04 on my desktop, the only quirk I found, and it's not a bug, is the Xubuntu team have added Blu-ray support to the configuration area. When a Blu-ray is inserted into a computer with a Blu-ray drive it automatically launches whatever media player (parole in this case) is set. This might be cool for most people, but I rip my media using 2 different programs:

Handbrake for DVDs
MakeMKV for Blu-rays

The Xubuntu configuration tool only lets you set 1 program for both types of media, so I've unchecked it from auto-launching parole when media is inserted.

So far I haven't run into any issues with Xubuntu 19.04, it's almost a shame it's a shorter release time. It feels slightly faster than Xubuntu 18.04 or 18.10 but this is probably my imagination and because every machine I run it on at home has an SSD.

Converting an 82 year old to Xubuntu GNU/Linux

A few weeks ago Irvin (not his real name) came into our computer recycling project. Irvin is 82 years old. He walks with a walker and somehow managed to lug a fairly big desktop Lenovo Thinkcentre down to our recycling project. Irvin had been to several computer stores over the past few months trying to get help with his computer. Unfortunately it seems that he wasn't able to get the help he needed despite paying repeatedly for help. Irvin doesn't speak and didn't appear to understand much English, his native language is Russian. Initially one of our volunteers spent a couple of hours over two weeks trying to help Irvin with different issues he was running into. Irvin's computer was old, even by our refurbishing standards - it was running the Lenovo version of Windows XP. Many of the issues Irvin was running into were due to the fact that he was still running Windows XP. Communication was our first issue, but Google Translate seemed to work well enough that we we...

CentOS 4.8 in Virtualbox 5.1.x

Years ago I was part of a project that was developed on and ran on CentOS 4.8. The software we developed was only used in-house so we were able to work around any bugs we found. The development cycle was extremely short, 4 months, considering the end result. While we've backed up the source frequently over the years the software really never got a major facelift. I spent a bit of time over the years making some minor changes (I gave the menu a facelift changing it from rotating gifs to CSS, and made some code changes to deal with a tax shift that happened years ago), but what the project really needs is a major overhaul. One of my goals right from the outset was to open source the project, but this didn't happen because I was simply too swamped with other things to completely audit the code. Also I wanted to simplify the project before exposing it to the world. Initially we based the project on an eCommerce suite (OSCommerce). At the time we were using that suite for an...

If you haven't bought an SSD you really should

I just finished upgrading my home workstation from Xubuntu 18.10 to 19.04 and the upgrade not only went smoothly but finished in less than 30 minutes. This might seem like a long time, fresh installs can literally be minutes when using a flash drive to install to an SSD, but upgrades usually take a long time. Lately when someone asks what they can do to speed up their computer I almost universally recommend they upgrade to an SSD over upgrading RAM/CPU/etc. One of our local computer shops has been carrying a 120GB SSD for $26.99. I bought one of these SSDs about 2 years ago for $69.99 and at the time felt it was a pretty good deal. Although the write speed on this particular SSD is only 350Mb/s it's still much better than the speed of a 'spinning rust' hard drive. During a distribution update more than a thousand files get updated and often more than 2,000 files are downloaded. The process also involves deleting some packages, and unpacking a number of programs befor...
