I have gone back to, the most Beautiful KDE Desktop of BlueStar Linux

 I have gone back to, the most Beautiful KDE Desktop of Blue-Star Linux

After a few mishaps with my "Linux Testing"  for my book, particularly ARCH based Linux I decided to keep Blue Star as it is much better than Netrunner.

I cannot wait till, MX Linux comes out with its next version. I do not think it could better Debian Trixie, anyway.

It took 95% of the 20GB /root partition.

It has all the application.

If I had 40GB, I could have installed Gnome,

Instead, I installed awesome and IceWM. 

Its Wayland session is minimal but the X11 version is the most beautiful.

Guys who want to discontinue X11 be mindful, its base stood the test of  time.  

To enjoy Blue-Star Linux one should have a fairly big Monitor. 

If I need to get out of the clutter, all what I do is to log in with IceWM and open the Firefox and I have one application working for me in the entire monitor screen.

Same with if I want to work with one of my books with AbiWord.

It does not mean, that I cannot open VLC, Kdenlive in IceWm. 

They are safely hidden without icons.

Awesome has limited options and cannot open heavy weight applications. 

Solved the problem by installing cutefish.

By the way, its log out option does not function. 

With this I am going to stop talking about Linux. 

Elephant Myths

Elephant Myths

How the Sri-Lankan Mafia Killed our Wild Elephants?


There is a hive of activity as regard to the elephant trade.

There was a mafia that operated with the connivance of the politicians.

There are thugs hiding behind saffron cloth that made the outer circle of this mafia.

My third book on elephants (elephant myths) was deferred with a valid reason.

I could not bear to reveal the 10 cruel ways of killing elephants since these methods once revealed would be used for further cruelty to even other animals.

Like aiding and abetting in criminal law not revealing the operational methods is also a crime.

Let me list them for investigation by proper officials of the present corrupt Department of Forestry.

1. When elephants venture into huts of Ganja growers (in the name of vegetable farming), they cut the tip of the elephant trunk with a Kattha or a sword.

That is the end of the majesty.


2. They cut 2 by 2 inches square hole in a pumpkin and introduce a poison inside and seal the hole with cut the piece.
Within hours the poor elephant who partake the poison is dead.


3. They used what is called the 'Hakka Pattas', an incendiary device packed with explosives similar to the hand bomb.


4. Shooting or trap guns.


5. Use one and a half feet square wooden plank driven with 5 inch nails. Once a foot / feet stuck in it there is no way to rescue the giant.


6. 'Waga Lin' or the pits made to trap (8x10x8) the elephants.

Once trapped, no escape and they die a slow death of starvation.


7. Wanton Poisoning the vegetation where the gentle giants feed.


8. Baby elephants when separated from mother die of starvation.


9. Infected 'Madhu' - trap wounds and sepsis.


10. Electric currents.


11. Use chilies and other petrochemicals to bring unpleasantness.


12. Fire traps.


The lost of their habitat and traps laid in their migration pathway with the help of the government officials is the biggest crime.

There was an organized crime syndicate and the connivance of the print media moguls (heading this crime syndicate) was evident.

That is why none of the elephants thieves who operate with impunity were not captured under Mahinda Chinthanaya.


They go scot free during the 100 day program.

Magnetic Equator, Kandy and Ravana and the Linux Revival

This piece is written for perusal by Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi and Wimal Weera Wansa.

 

My blessings for both of them especially to Wimal Weerawansa in politics.

I think if, Anura can become President by lies and cheating, it is humanly possible for Wimal to become president of this country by adhering to the Cardinal 4 principles of Dhamma.

1. No killing

2. No stealing 

3. No lying

4. No sexual misconduct

Please remember that the fifth "Majja Pama" was added by monks (may be Jain's) and Buddha was very careful not to tread onto human indulgence except highlighting the evils of alcohol.

In my medical analysis including my book on alcohol and web pieces here even a little bit of alcohol is bad for humans.

Now coming to equators geographical equator is an imaginary line.

It does not correspond with the Magnetic Equator.

How magnetic field is formed and how the so called gravity works, I do not understand fully even though I am very keen in physics of the entire Universe.

Gravity we cannot measure but we can feel and it makd us to become bipedal animal which is abnormal. 

 

Animals are quadriplegic or flat on the face of earth as snakes.

I first felt the effect of gravity after a 7.2 Richter scale earth quake in New Zealand which  shook me to the core and I was thrown out of the bed.

That made me to leave New Zealand.

1. Magnetic Field does not follow straight lines but has curvilinear movements.

2. It makes magnetic elements get magnetized with two corresponding poles.

3. It makes electrons to move in more elegant spin.

4. I can use a magnet to find a lost needle in a haystack.

5. I think we humans produce a subtle magnetic aura around ourselves.

6. Lord Buddha had the most charming magnetism of all human beings.

7. I think our mind can control our own magnetic field.

 

Anger disturbs it.

 

Metta fashions it.

The Central band of Earth's magnetic field crosses right through the belly of Kandy. The  Old Dalada Maligawa Temple of Kandy is in the center of this magnetic field.

 

I do not think the present one is in the center of it.

Central Africa has both geographical and magnetic Equators. 

That is the most important country where humanity originated, may be Ethiopia. 

 

The Magnetic field then from bend to go through South America where earth's biodiversity remains and Amazon is important to humanity, only second to Africa.

USA, China, Russia and Australia is completely outside the geomagnetic field.

It is very strange where White and Yellow races dominate. In the non magnetic area. 

In my genetic analysis both types are greedy and crazy.

India is within the upper magnetic band.

Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi's job is to locate old temple, using the old stone edits or Sel-Lipi he has.

I believe it is in Teldeniya or near about.

 

It may even be under water in Victoria Lake. 

British may have deliberately submerged it to erase our Ravana History.

Real Ravana clan were actually astrophysicists and astronauts.

 

They used this magnetic field to navigate their Vimanas or Spacecrafts.

 

No fuel energy was needed.

They had there own "Yaksha Basha" and it is not Sinhala but predates Sinhala. 

 

Current Vedda are not their descendants.

 

They merged and submerged.

I think Wimal Weerawansa with his guts epitomize "Yaksha Spirit" in us.

Good on him.

Old Indians wrote the mythical Ramayanaya to erase this Real Ravana History and current Indians using Anura is furthering that aim of deceit and deception.

Chinese beware Indians (recent BRICS gathering in China) are there to spy on you and provide information to Americans.

 

They are called black Jews by Africans.

 

In fact, they provided information to Mossad to undermine Iran.

 

Any moment this War might resurface.

Both sides are marking time.

In Sinhala we call them Depath Nayas.

 

In other words snake with two heads on both ends.

 

The end result is disorientation and confusion. 

 

By the way, Armenians are also double dealers.

Be mindful if you meet an Indian or an Armenian.

 

Americans are not that bad but British and French are.

 

I ignore Germans.

I would end up with Linux.

 

I stopped using German Linux images like Netrunner and Neptune.

 

My base is now global Debian Gnome.

Apology for Statement Debian Gnome Live USB/DVD

Apology for Statement Debian Gnome Live USB/DVD

I inadvertently stated that one cannot install application using this this Gnome Image.

I may have done this without configuring the WiFi

Without the Internet one cannot have any link to the repositories.

Only downside is Calamara Installer is very slow and sometimes hangs up.

It just happened now when installing Debian Gnome.

My advice is for one to use the Debian DVD1 and use one or several desktops at install time.

Gnome Live image installer failed. Simply because it did not choose gdm for Plymouth. It assumes it being Gnome and fail to recognize I have other Debian instances.

I decided to use only XFCE and fallback Gnome and it saved about 250 files that are needed for fully fledged Gnome.

DVD1 image is the saviour and install time is saved by about few minutes. In any case 13 series installation is by nature fast.

By the way. Image which is 6.12.38 Debian + is upgraded to 6.22.42 Debian + plus during Installation.

Basic stuff is not much change.

The change is all due to Kernel has to support many architectures from Raspberry pi to Nvidia and AMD stuff.

Linux code is crisp and if I am in the developer set up I would put everything in the basic installation including hardware support for my basic NUC and it I also exclude LibreOffice, I would make Image under 1GB, like what Puppy guys user to do in the past.

By the way, TeenPup derivative Legacy OS is 3.2GB and Antix full is 2GB both of which cannot configure my WiFi.

This is a warning for guys who are going to undermine X11.

Gnome Fallback I think ix X11 on steroids.

Small is beautiful and smart.

GRUB and Networking are the most important criteria for me over years.

Once I get the system up I think of my applications.

Gparted 

AbiWord 

USB formatter 

USB image writer

Audacity 

VLC

GDebi

Transmission 

All the above is about 1000MB.

I am up and running XFCE and the mouse mascot was my yesteryear favorite long before Tux.

I am going to remove LibreOffice and add Pingus and Tux Racer in my 9.5GB partition with 3.5GB remaining.

I do not go below 1GB since I get a warning message that there is no hardware space.

Go and hang with TimeShift utility.

I am even happier with Awesome and IceWM window mangers.

I do not need Kodi and Kdenlive for my desktop.
