Winding Up Political and Educational Outputs

Yes, I am winding up all my blog contributions here including Linux UPDATES. With AI showing a nasty presence in all spheres of interest, I have the gut feeling that I have nothing to contribute in future.

I am not a politician but I make one last political comment about NPP/JVP.

They have come to a dead end and there is no second innings for them.

They have destroyed their own reputation by their own behavior, they have shown that they are unable to put their ideas into viable, plausible and constructive political framework and their political slogans are antithesis to historically and culturally Buddhist country which is CEYLON. 

Their alignment with India and LTTE diaspora is their death knell. 

The history will record them as the most corrupt regime that ever ruled this country. 

That is the Reality and the bottom line.

In simple terms:

Arrogance

Impotence and

Cultural Vulgarity is potently destructive for this small country.

I won't reply to any future comments.

ZERO RESPONSE.

TAILS New Edition is Pretty Good

 TAILS New Edition is lookes pretty good on BOX utility but it does not boot from a USB. I cannot use and it is meant as a DVD image.

Tails does not have a default root or administration password for the live session; it is intentionally disabled for security.

 

To obtain root access (e.g., for installing software), you must set a temporary password during the boot menu under 

"More options" > "Administration Password". 

This password only lasts for the current session. 

Key Details regarding Tails Passwords:

    No Default Password: 

There is no pre-set password for the root user.
    Setting the Password: At the welcome screen, click the "+" button, select "Administration Password," and enter a password of your choice.
    Session Specific: 

This password is not saved and must be re-created every time you boot Tails.
    Persistent Storage: 

If you are asking about the password to unlock encrypted persistent storage, that is a password you created when setting up the persistent volume. 

REBORN OS GRUB is the Best

Yes, Elive messed up with my GRUB but REBORN OS brought eveything back to normal including Pearl Linux and Elive. I just installed Blender and AbiWord on Pearl Linux. It has Lumiri Phone utility.

I think it is based on Debian Trixie. It does not have Synaptic Package Manager but FLATpak.

I am trying to Install Elive-It is a bit of a PAIN

This a Simple Advice to Elive from a Guy who used Linux for over 30 years and one who use Debian GNOME regularly.

This is regarding Installation.

Instead of trying to put everything in one go one should install the basic system and then add Enlightenment Desktop on top of it and any additional stuff you may have originally developed. 

Otherwise, YOU may remain stuck in Bookworm for ever.

I am already into Forky and providing them with feedbacks during and after installation.

Elive is a beautiful dustribution much beautiful than BlueStar Linux KDE which I have in my System.

You have a problem with GRUB.

It is a BootLoader and once installed one does not need to fiddle with it every time one boots except when a new onstallation is made.

YOU ruined my GRUB but I know how to get my system back. This is not true for Newbies. That is why I won't recommend it to Users new to Linux which are numerous due to bungling of the Microsoft.

YOU assume I have Windows in my sysytem and make an entry for Windows. But my NUC never had Windows in it. 

Why are YOU still subservient to Microsoft Windows?

Debian Forky in its EFI Boot Loader does not care for Windows.

You must at least say how much YOU need for the system. I gave 20GB and you ask more without telling me how much.

Long Live Linux.

By the way, I installed Elive in one single partition and it is booting well after UPDATES. Only after UPDATES I could install AbiWord and STACER.

THANK You.

STACER is not available in Forky and instead it has its own GNOME System checking Utility.

I am trying to Install Elive on my NUC with Debian Forky installed.

I am erasing the 5 partitions where Emmabantus Trixie Edition was installed.

I have said Good Bye to Trixie Stable.

It is even pain to install Puppy Linux based on Trixie, simply because none of the configure the WiFi INTERNET configuration.

Elive could not identify my EFI partition and wanted have new EFI.

I declined.

On the plus side it asks a lot of questions before the installation including configuration options which are Automatic with Debian.

Installation run on terminal and on black background and I cannot read them which I used to do, every time I install an ARCH Derivative. I am new to ARCH but with REBORN OS installed, I have a very good understanding.

Installation including formatting is Very, Very SLOW.

It is OK because I have gone through this pain before.

It is Debian Trixie and the desktop is Enlightenment Desktop.

I already have Enlightenment Desktop under Debian GNOME Hood.

I hope it wouldn't ruin my GRUB.

It did and I could not boot REBORN OS.

It it fails I would instal Pearl Linux 13 which also based on Trixie. Yes I am now installing it on the destoyed REBORN partitions. It has its own modified XFCE Desktop caled PDE. It has Synaptic Package Manager a plus point.

Elive has developed its own Desktop Effects which is admirable and I need to make an entry about Elive Linux in my book "Linux Essential".

By the way, WiFi configuration was smooth and I hope it UPDATES all the applications during Installation.

Irritatingly, it configure the User and Password at the end of the Installation.

I am hesitant to recommend it to any soul but one who is interested in Desktop Effects in Linux which are FROZEN in KDE, this is the distribution one SHOULD Try.

Booting is SLOW which is understandable given its Desktop Effects at boot time.

It did not ruin my GRUB.

More work for me.

It is much better than COSMIC Desktop and KDE.

THANK You to all especially, the Developer Guys and Girls at  Elive Linux.

Elive is much better than Emmabantus.

I am going to miss Synaptic Package Manager. If it was available, first thing I do is to install GNOME Desktop.

By the way, it has Blender which Forky has done away with.

Only Flatpak SOFTWARE is available and I did not try any.

It took only 10GB of space and I have 16GB left in the /root partition.

As a punishment for destroying my GRUB and interfering with my favourite REBORN OS, I decided to delegate only 12GB for its /root partition and Reinstall and Get back my REBORN OS after finishing instslling Pearl Linux. 

I have added another partition making 30 in total. 29 partitions was a misstep to begin with.

I will have 6 distributions instead of 5.

In the past single partition was given to MX Linux which has lost my interest.

By the way, Elive did not ask for a SWAP Partition which was unusual for a old Linux Distribution.

Pearl Linux

Pearl Linux reminds me of Pingue Linux now defunct.

Image is 4.2GB which has gone beyond my limit of 4GB for basic installation. Because it has lot of usuful applications including Gparted, no qualms.

It is Trixie based.

Desktop PDE is modified XFCE (I hate XFCE ) which looks AppleMac.

GuvcView does not work.

Browser is Google Chrome which I never use but Firefox is available.

I am a Firefox guy.

Installation is over.

It has Synaptic Package Manager which is a plus point and I had to install only AbiWord and the rest is already installed.

Tried to install GNOME but failed but did not persevere fearing disruption at boot time.
