Debian 12, 13 and Testing on my NUC
Yes, since most of Distributions find it difficult to coexist with Debian Gnome, and I have lot of partitions, I decided to install Debian from Bookworm and Trixie.
The Voayager based on Trixie coming from France failed to boot when Debian Trixie was instslled last.
It is 12.5 Gnome not DVD1 and is taking a long time to partition the 3 partitions I newly made.
Boot EXT4
Root btrfs
Home btrfs
I did not want to make boot partition btrfs.
It has done it.
Installing 298010 files.
No Root and User with Gnome Live Image.
I am going to try DVD1 later since I believe Gnome would not allow me to install KDE on top.
By the way, installer is Calamara 3.2.61, not Debian installer.
No Terminal infirmation in the background.
Installation seem to be brisk.
BootLoader configuration is slow with 38 partitions. No ticking sound on my NUC and very quiet and cool.
Synaptic Package Manager is available but not from Software Bundle.
Transmission is available.
AbiWord was installed in few seconds on Live Session.
I have forgotten all these minor details.
Installation failed.
I would try DVD1.
Also skip using Btrfs file system.
No GRUB file to boot.
Well I have to go for Trixe.
13.6.0 Image has bundled up Synaptic Package Manager with Software. One has to install Synaptic from Software bundle.
Is Debian going to do awy with Synaptic in future?
Big overhead for them?
Gnome number is 48.
Well cellphone utilities, Posh and Lomiri is not available with the DVD1.
Kernel is 6.12.96 13+ Debian
Forky is 7.0.10 but uodated to 7.1.3+ Debian.
Debian 12.5. DVD1.
To begin with fonts are large and I like that very much.
With newer versions fonts have befome so small I type the password 3 times since I fear making a mistake and not being able to boot.
This happened at least twice with my old laptop.
Fonts are also small in cellphone and blogging is bit of a hastle but there is speel correction with Google.
Thank You.
It is taking a long time to detect Partition Table of mine.
All 3 SWAP partitions were automatically selected for me.
Thank You.
Well I can read all the files seated on the little over 3 and a half feet away.
Thank you.
Files are less and less complicated.
Linux image is 6.1.0.50.
Image updated to 6.1.0.51.
Clicked all the desjtops and it amounted to 2900MB. If my memory is correct it would have been little over 2000 with only GNOME.
DO NOT USE Live GNOME or KDE.
Use only DVD1 (not source DVD) and select the desktop one needs.
It is still Python 3.
Still KDE is one packed with lot of unnecessary packages.
My Life Proves Rebirth
My simple talents in physics is enormous.
Modern physics is only 5% was my estimate at a very young age.
At the 'O' Level Examination the chart to plot a particular problem was not avaible as per the phyicis paper.
I quickly made a chart of my own using the crossed paper.
I ended up getting a dintinction in physics.
Only distinction in my class.
At the University Entrance Examination, Sound Practical was the most difficult.
That is getting the correct frequency.
I used paper jumpers and got all positions round. I looked around to see others and waited until few did showed the results to the examiners. Of course I did tune in with my ears, too.
I passed but I do not know about others.
This is under Professor Osmond Jayaratne which I had high regards.
I spoke only in Sinhala but pretended that I did not know English.
I answered Physics and Chemistry in English but Botany and Zoology's were answered in Sinhala interspersed with English where appropriate to get the flow correct.
The rest of the eneegy is enormous.
The dark energy rules the world was my conviction.
I did not pursue physics as a career.
I would not have any friends if I did pursue physics was my conviction.
I would have been like Professor Osmand Jayaratne would become a loner in twilight years.
These ideas would not have not come from a single life, is my bone of contention.
These were contemplated in my previous lives and I would have been bored to death in previous lives of physics.
So I went for a new field in this life.
That is Medicine and my comprehension of medicine is superficial, to say the least.
This is compared to some of my batch mates.
By the way, I could get to quick diagnosis both in logical and not logicsl ways.
Some of them were boringly simple.
None did excite me.
Most my seniors thought I was guessing.
Then, I tell them the stepwise logical testing procedure and say you would still get the same answer. Then they started trusting me. I did not last even 10 years in UK.
Only 2 years in New Zealand.
Having said that my exploration of Linux desktop from one of only 34 candidates globally (early 2000) in the beginning of Linux is simply unexplained.
It is now 5% and my wish is to push it to 10%. It is a goal achievable.
I just fiddled with Enlightenment Desktop and IceWM on Debian GNOME.
I have now settled down to 3 Debian Forky instances.
I have CachyOs and Reborn OS but won't use them as daily drivers.
By the way, BlueStar Linux is the best KDE dedktop and I have two instsnces.
I am going to finish my books.
I did not format my home directories and all of my last editions of unfinished books are there, fresh as new.
Altogether 38 partitions.
I am not going to test any new distributions.
None can beat GNOME.
I can now prove all KDE Desktops including KADER42 and VailLinux are simply bulky and add nothing more to Linux desktops.
Enlightenment Desktop is more intuitive and always ready for customization.
It is MX Linux based and I really like AVL MXe Moksha Linux.
By the way, all the iso images neatly 20 are saved on my hard disk to run if I get bored up with my books.
Ayahuaska aka mushroom has ho place in Buddhism
Ayahuaska aka mushroom has ho place in Buddhism
This piece is an addendum to my theory of one gravity and one brain human beings.
I am writing this as a non medical man and not as a shaman.
There are lot of bogus shamans on the Internet and this piece is a direct antithesis to some of them.
Of course, I am against claims of some Citizen Scientists.
Beginning of this piece has minimum physiological facts and I will end up with psychological output at the end with Ayahuaska aka mushroom as a base (in my book).
Unfortunately, I could not include these physiological facts, in my book on alcohol.
In that book, I have enumerated six levels of alcohol poisoning.
I would end up with the Buddhist attitude to Meditation of Priti and Sukka realms.
This piece is relatively short but the content is very intense.
We are Guys and Girls of 24 Hour Cycle.
This cycle varies from hemisphere to hemisphere and being a guy from the tropics, I feel the difference acutely and it took nearly 3 months for me to get my biorhythm acclimatized to Australia.
Coming to biorhythm, it is basically divided into three phases in my life rhythm.
1. Sleep or hibernation phase.
2. Eight (8) hour biological meal cycle (light breakfast with lot of sugar and tea).
3. The intellectual activity of "New Physics" going beyond one gravity and one brain level (aliens included) and including Rebirth Concept.
Let me come to the physiology base.
We have to keep our blood sugar at very narrow limits and thankfully our pancreas and insulin save us from tragedy.
If one is a diabetic, I pity him or her but this piece will let a normal control one's own physiology within the safe limits and may even avoid adult onset diabetes.
The base line is the Sugar Level and maintaining one's Citric Acid Cycle.
Light Breakfast with Tea is mandatory.
Piece of Banana does the rest.
Banana has lot of different sugars including fructose. There are hexose sugars and banana also has pentose sugars which are necessary for nucleic acid metabolism.
Banana, has lot of amino acids.
My recommendation is at least one banana a day, if one is following one meal a day.
If one takes two main meals two banana a day is my recipe.
What banana does is, it maintains blood sugar within safe limits, in between meals.
There are no insulin swings and no hunger episodes and the satiety cycle is well maintained.
This regime is for the tropics and for colder climates and for winter months, a better protocol is necessary.
If I stay longer in Australia, I would device a mean for myself.
Most animals have brown fat in their system and can hibernate in winter months.
Humans have lost both brown fat and hibernation ability.
My advice is to move to tropics during winter months for those who can afford, it. For the rest without gas from Russia and economic downturn one has to bite the teeth and grin with anguish.
Glucose is a taboo for no valid reason in the West for normal adults and most sugars are metabolized by diastase enzymes in the gut.
The major culprit of long term brain damage is alcohol and its associated hypoglycemia.
Any form of alcohol upsets the sugar metabolism.
One dose of alcohol causes ketosis in the liver (fatty change) and upsets the sugar and fat metabolism for the next 24 hours.
Alcohol also, upsets the melatonin induced biorhythm which is related to daily exposure to sunlight.
Alcohol is no good for sugar metabolism.
My belief is, that alcohol induced hypoglycemia has some relationship to euphoria that it brings to the partaker, at the onset of the binge.
This effect of euphoria wanes off almost immediately that waning brings the urge to drink more.
I have enjoyed wines in my life and I did not realize I was a low grade unconfirmed addict.
I have successfully weaned myself off.
Good cup of tea is my antidote!
Tea has lot of antioxidants, and I have enumerated, the Goodness of Tea an Banana in my book “Vegetarian Saga” which is coming out soon. Yet to be published on final editing stage hindered by my marathon investigation of Linux and AI emergence.
Yes, if I have a problem in Linux I visit AI to clear my doubts.
It is in final editing stage.
The best is virgin chocolates, the fat and sugar in chocolates are not healthy.
Dark chocolate is expensive.
Virgin coconut oil is the best to avoid dementia in old age.
Mental Stages
1. Euphoria
2. Ecstasy
3. Illusion
4. Delusion
Above and the Ayahuaska I will deal later in this book.
I need to replenish my level of tea in my system, before I could enlarge upon those themes.
I am a skeptic of euphoria induced by any drug including alcohol.
Euphoria induced by any form of drug is temporary and leads to addiction.
Any form of addiction including tobacco is harmful to health.
Let me be brief about neurophysiology.
To begin with our understanding of neurophysiology is still at primitive stage, medically speaking.
Pain is in one end.
Happiness is the other.
Neither pain nor happiness is the base of homeostasis.
Balance or homeostasis is necessary for heart, kidney, brain and liver.
This homeostasis is managed by our brain.
Meditation is not a therapeutic option.
My bone of contention is any drug induced euphoria or ecstasy upsets the ability of the brain to bring homeostasis to the entire system, including brain itself.
I am not a psychiatrist and I refuse to delve into esoteric realms and psychiatric problems.
However, I have no objections for psychiatrists using these esoteric drugs for patients, having followed proper clinical studies.
But I have my reservation about the inability to reproduce these benefits in clinical settings.
These experiences are not objective but subjective.
I sympathize with the individual cases but I pity for their addiction.
If one can avoid any extraneous support it is the best one can achieve.
In my case, I have never given these substances (sedatives) to adult patients except preoperative preparation.
Having said that sometime a simple dose of voltaren makes people with renal colic worship me in clinical setting.
I think even voltaren has addictive properties.
Regarding Ayahuaska, I have given a good account in my books on alcohol and mind.
One may refer them for in depth analysis.
My summary goes like this.
1. It is related to its dose.
A little bit brings in calmness.
Large dose brings in ecstasy bypassing state of euphoria.
Ecstasy for me an overboard experience.
One becomes godly.
Overtly loving and feeling of artificial oneness is humanely unnatural.
This is seen especially in Hinduism.
There is no inter-phase of euphoria as seen with alcohol.
Often, it is the hard drug addicts who seem to benefit from Ayahuaska.
Its use for ordinary guys and girls is dangerous.
These citizen scientists have no role in the wider world.
That is my opinion.
Even authentic scientists should be vary and beware of the unintended pitfalls.
They should use astute judgement when giving opinions on substances.
One level of Ayahuaska may be medical.
The other level or the next level is spiritual.
Shamans use this dose level for induction of entry level guys.
With that goes the monetary benefits.
With or without monetary benefits addicts are created.
That is no good.
The perceived higher level of conscious is an illusion that ends up in delusion.
Illusion and delusion are antithetic to Buddhist view of Reality.
I would end up with Buddhist outlook.
Ayahuaska is an antithesis to Buddhist teaching.
Alertness.
Awareness.
Objectiveness, are fundamental to Buddhist meditation.
Priti and Sukka may be addictive to the final goal of Upekka or equanimity.
Seela
Sati
Samadhi
Pragna are the four steps to the final goal.
Ayahuaska has no place in Buddhism.
Buddhism is not based on addiction but on understanding of the human predicament based on "Uncertainty Principle".
Addiction is an impediment to goal seeking nature and behavior of Buddhism.
Metta
Karuna
Muditha
Upekka are fundamental to Buddhism.

KADER42 Installation
KADER42 is a KDE image.
It is new and image is nearly 5GB.
It is meant for Tablets and Convertible Laptops and not for PC.
It comes frim Germany.
It has its own Personality.
Single person distribution.
It has its own software center.
It is ARCH based.
User and Password is old time root and root both simple letter.
I was getting fed up with KDE of ARCH Linux Gamer and erasing it to install KADER42.
For two days I was updating my laptop and this image did not boot from the laptop.
I am installing it on my NUC.
It can be installed in සිංහල.
I hooe it keeps my GRUB infact.
EFI/boot was not available.
Booting failed.
First blog post using Lomiri cellphone Utility
Yes, this is the first cellphone Blog Post using Lomiri utility in spite of figure of 8 boot virus.
It is coming from my old laptop.
Browser is little Morph Browser.
Thank You.
New Zealand Repository of MX Linux is Defunct
Yes, New Zealand repository of MX Linux is defunct.
I cannot get 311MB AbiWord.
This is not new phenomenon.
For the last 3 years they were in slumber.
That is why I do not use MX Linux and no posts coming from me highlighting MXMe Linux.

Well, I started with AVL Me 25.2 Enlightenment Desktop and Ended up with Lomiri Cellphone Utility
Yes, it all started with AVL Me and MX Moksha.
MX Linux is completely different from Debian Gnome.
I started Linux with Mepis (now defunct) Desktop and graduated ultimately to Debian.
Mepis ended up as MX Linux.
Moksha and AVL Me are derivatives of MX Linux.
Most difficult part was the configuring of the WiFi.
Wifi Keyboard was not detected.
Big thump on a key on the keyboard resulted in identifying the WiFi signal.
Rest of the keys were identified without a problem after the thump.
Well Lomiri did not work.
Plasma did not work.
They are of the new kernel.
Having realized that the base was LiqueuriX kernel, I went back to basics.
I used the default Gnome and KDE desktop of the MX Linux.
Another big lession.
Install One Application at a time.
The repository in New Zealand is poorly maintained. I know a bit about New Zealand. I worked there from 1992 to 1994. They are lazy guy and want to retire at 50 and live on the doll and ACC. I chucked up to join University of Peradeniya and worked until 66 with some research and importantly Linux behind me.
Init System is different but new version let one selects the SystemD. It did not boot Reborn OS. I am reinstalling Reborn OS now. I am not going to ditch SystemD in favour if a fancy init of Void.
My moto if something wirks stick with it.
Do not try to fiddle with the configuration file but there is an exception.
It is the the cellphone.
Cellphone is a little computer in your hand.
It gather every available junk.
I went to default setting of my Chinese MI cellphone and currently with my NOKIA of Human Mobile Device (HMD).
It is a finish guy who invented the Mobile not Americans.
Now let me say something about ARCH Linux Gamer and BIG Linux. They are both good if you have lot of RAM and Hard Disk Space. In a 15GH / root partition with ARCH gamer I could install AbiWord and Audacity. I could not install VLC my favorite. Only 700MB remaining. With BIG Linux 1.7GB left with no blender.
I got most of the stuff with AVL MX me including Blender an old version to go with Debian Trixie.
On Reborn OS Blender took huge amount of space and I was left with only 2.5GB.
2GB is my limit. I leave that space for future Updates. If a distribution cannot do that update within 2GB I suppose one should not use it as a daily driver..
I had a majaot catastrophe.
I could not remember the password for my regular Debian instance.
It was a good catastrophe.
My son has lost interest on this laptop. I do not blame him. He has his own priorities. Now, I have to use it as my daily driver wherher I like it or not.
Besides, it keeps me warm in my bed during these winter months.
Then I see this Kader and Shadowfetch Linux Isos. I need to test them and make a note in my book which is coming to finishing touches. The Isos are made on Debian Testing image, and now that I have gone fully Forky, it is natural for me to test them.
Thank You guys for moving forward towards Debian 14.
Coming back to Debian Install;
Debian is taking a long time to install with 4GB RAM. I made sure I have two 8GB SWAP partitions for the init to use at boot time for Swapping Memory.
It is almost finishing and for the first time my life I WROTE DOWN the password in a piece of paper. This I have to do since these Email guys won't let me Reset the cellphone and open my emails.
I have to register again with new passwords. Bit of a hastle in my old age with memory failing.
With LightDM Display Manager Debian did not boot. It went back to BootLoader of Linux Gamer which I begin to hate. That was the very reason I am Reinstalling all.
I deleted the EFI but Debian feel shy of formatting it New.
I may have another failed booting of Debian Linux. I swapped the Laptop hard disk to my good old solid Toshiba hard disk. The password problem was related that reason. I now believe boot passwords are saved in firmware portion of the hard disk.
This is about AVL MX me 5.2 installation.
I am going to have it installed in my laptop. Since my son is not interested I have to say so.
Debian took 2900 odd space for Gnome, KDE and cellphone utilities.
For Gnome and cellphone utilities it vame down to 1900. If I consider 900MB for Lomiri and Posh, Debian needs at least IGB which include Firefox and LibreOffice.
Firefox has shed some fat but not LibreOffice.
Gnome 48 desktop consumed 600MB.
KDE 5.1...took 1100GB, twice as much.
LXDE x- window manager took less than 200MB.
Brave Browser 700MB.
Vivaldi 600MB.
Palenmoon 100MB.
Opera Browser 600MB.
LibreWolf failed.
Falkon failed.
Blender installed with abour 800MB.
I still have 5.8GB remaining in the / root folder.
LibreOffice last and took 600MB.
No problem but it was spotfy that was faulty and U have 5.3GB left.
Thank YOU to AVL Linux MXMe 25.2.
I is superb destribution on my NUC only very small partition.
It took 11.7GB for the Basic Install.
AVL Audio Video Linux which I used during 32 bit Era.
Enlightenment Desktop also come from that Era.
ELive guys try to make completely commercial desktop on Enlightenment just like Elementary OS tried to use Panthen Desktop.
Well I got Pantheon design through BIG Linux.
This adventure can be done only on Linux.
Long Live Linux.
3L instead of 3M ( medical equipment ).

OpenMandrive Gnome Instsllation
Installation started at 14.16PM.
Finishe formatthing disk 14.22PM.
50% installation of files in one (1) minute.
It is on initramfs in another one (1) minute.
It started BootLoader at 1626PM.
It finished on 14.29PM.
Installation finished under 13 mimutes.
It is booting now but my GRUB is gone.
It has X-11 Session and Gnome.
This why I say there can be one GRUB but Debian had come a long way.
Installing BootLoder and I predict it would get it wrong.
It says it is installing bootloader.
Went and activated OpenMandra Software Reposository.
Pocked all available items.
Typed for the Umpteenth Times the password but no action.
Nothing installed.
Looked at all the icons but no insaller.
Went to Terminal
Apt get install abiword
No response
Did not ask for password.
I read the Linux Bible's GRUB section and entry on GNOME desktop of Ferdora before this installation.
Either this distributions Repository is poorly maintained or Empty.
On the other hand having a Repository without a Install Tool, ideally a graphical is pure negligence or not understanding the User Needs or to Whom this distribution caters for.
Collosal waste of resources.
We are gone bankrupt or defunct should be nightlight somewhere.
I needed only abiword which is just over 300MB.
It is the only distribution that delivers its own GNOME just like Debiam delivers its own.
I am going to Support OpenMandrive whole heartedly.
It is bit old but it has KDE drdktop and Rome which is the rolling distribution.
It is produced by highly technical Engineers who do not advertise them.
Well, I should do the advertisrment part of it.
I did not Watch Football at All
I love Australian Football which a combination of Rughby, Football and Australian own innovation on the ground.
They play such a clean game the referee is just an onfield spectator.
No body blows or ugly tackles.
It is the Gentleman Game player by gentlman, whereas Football is the hooligan's game played by hooligans.
Coming to the final sending a player off was a planned ploy for Spain to win.
This refree must have got handsome some money for this act of dishonesty.
He should not refree for another 10 years.
Agentinian camp would have sensed this ploy and should have called him on to the bench. Then send the substitute instead.
They missed the ploy.
Stupid.
Then waiting for 97 minutes to see a Goal was so boring than the Penalty Kicks at the end.
My prediction before the gane was 3/2 either way.
Slight edge on Spain.
But the real reason for Argentine Loss was they played England like the final and depleted the glycogen stores in their leg muscles. The rest period is not enough for replenishment of glycogen stores. The glycogen replenishment is done at a leisurely pace.
I am saying this as a medical man.
Fact that 10 men defended during the 90 minutes was creditable to say the least.
The only goal should go as a "Freak" and not as a World Cup decider.
I am with President Donald Trump giving a call to the official after sending USA "Player Out".
President Donald Trump should give another call and ask that Refree guy to be removed from refeering panel for life.
Argentina should make legal case out of this from their Price Money.
We must not let a stupid and unsporty official ruining the game at 10/11 Ratio.
I did not lose anything by not watching the final.
Zidene Zidane head but is justified in a similar scenario.
සත්යට මුහුණ නොදෙන්නා අසත්යයෙන් මියයයි
මේ ධර්මපදයක් නොව මගේ ලංකාව ගැන දේශපාලන කියවීමක්.
බොරු අම්බානක කියලා බලය ලබා ගෙන, එළබෙන ප්රශ්න වලට මුහුණ දෙන්න බැරිකළ ජනතාව ගොනාට ඇන්ද වීම තමයි මේකට කියන්නේ.

User and Root Passwords
There is a big advantage not using the Root Password, if you are the Only User.
One need not have to give the Password every time You install or delete an application.
But make sure you are logged off or shutdown the computer if you are away for a cup of tea.
If one sits down with a system widely opened he has access to your DATA.
Having a Root Password eleminate that danger. Bit of paranoia is welcome in Linux.
I believe the system and never ever fiddle with basic configuration in Debian GNOME.
I am relatively new to ARCH base and BlueStar Linux is my trustworthy compsnion.
Since, I have two instancrs of BlueStar, I decided not to Use Root password for the Developer option.
BlueStar Linux is studded with applications.
I need add 5 or 6 GNOME applications.
I'll report you with my progress.
It is currently instslling updates
It has a conflict with one file called
bslx- beautyline - 3.0.3-5 and 2:3.0.3-4 are in conflict.
Before that I want to see whether OpenMandriva GNOME would mount.
Well it did mount.
It is updating and it has more components than in Debian GNOME.
1604 uodates.
Thank You, OpenMandriva.
Try and get your KDE Desktop (new 7th version) to install like the GNOME Iso.
KDE version 6 seems to be OK but ruined my GRUB.
In its updates it is trying to configure the GRUB and thankfully it is giving me Terminal output SLOW enough for me to read. These ARCH guys do this in lightening fast and see only the final outcome.
It took 25 minutes to install lot more than GNOME. Terminal is closed now but there another active background running item
Final test.
Try install Blender.
Well it did install it fast.
But My GRUB even though OpenMandriva read it carefully but was not RESTORED.
I have to do it myself and I am ready in another half an hour.
Win Win situation and I am glad I erased Neptune 9.1.
It has Gparted to begin with.
Instead of Synaptic Package Manager it has Open Mandriva Repository picker.
I"ll try it after updates are over.
Thank You OpenMandriva for taking me back to my humble Mandrake beginning.
Well I am using software to install Abiword in snadbag configuration.
It is a bit if a hitchhiking.
I think it is still not customer ready.
I have to do lot of updates to my book including a chapter on Androids.
Mandrake to Mandriva to OpenMandriva KDE Plasma
Both diect and linuxtraker downloads are in snail pace.
I am going to erase Neptune 9.1 since its GRUB Frozen configuration file won't let me install GNOME.
I am going to. Blacklist all KDE desktop distributions that stall Debian GNOME.
OpenMandeiva KDE did not mount even on live mode. GNOME version mounted but ruined my GRUB.
Please do not try this distribution which does not understand the User Needs.
Well, I am going to settle down with Russian ALT Linux which has the fastest download speed. Besides, it has a Isos for Enlightenment and IceWM. But no application. One has to use the Sysiphus to install software.
All at 2GB size.
Russian ALT Developers have come to town and I recommend their ISO Images.
Yes, I started with Mandrake KDE desktop.It came from France.
A lunatic Mandrake Magician sued for the name but MandrakeSoft continued untl it went in to bankruptcy.
The project Globe Trotter, was well advanced for its time, never so the sunlight.
Then the Developers many Engineers who lost their jobs made a consortium to develop a images for every conceivable firmeware for hardware available.
Isos were not released on time and I moved to PCLinuxOS until Texstar Bill Reynolds quit with the entry of 64 bit computers.
By this time, I had discovered Debian Gnome and with 6 to 7 CDs, I compiled a GNOME Desktop.
That was my beginning untli March, 2010 when I decided to compile a review of 100 Linux distribution which ended up past 200. I beat Sachin Thandurkar who was trying for his 200th ODI century.
Then I moved to soccer star Argentinian Dieogo Maradona but lost interest when the soccer tournament was held in Middle East where females and expact workerd were inhumanely treated.
Soccer is all money now.
Even fourth place France gets 27 millions.
Roughly 3 million for each Team.
They use this money to buy players of outstanding performance record.
USA 15 mullions
Australia 12 millions but I love Australian Rugby Football which is fast and entertaining.

බුදු සමිදුන් ලංකාවේ ඉපදුන බව තහවුරු කරගත විට, අපට පහසුවෙන් මිථ්යා මත බොහොමයක් බැහැර කල හැක.
අහසින් නාග දීපයට, කැළණියට සහ මහියංගනයට වැඩම කල බව බැහැර කල හැක්කේ එවිටය.
තරුණයන් තිදෙනෙක් බුදු සමිදුන් රුවල් නැවකින් ඉන්දියාවේ පැටලී පුත්ර සිට ලංකාවට ආ බව කීම විහිළුවක්.
ඒ කාලයේදී අපි අභ්යාකාශය තරණය කල බව බැහැර කිරීමක් නම් නොවේ.

Sri-Lankan Rupee is Depreciating Fast
Currently 335 For US dollar
Currently 445 for UK pounds
Currently 235 for Australian dollar
Well the economy in Ceylon is in tatters under Anura and Tilwin combo.
Rate for Indian Rupee is stable at 3.5.
If you want to worship Niganta Buddhas it costs you more.
So, remain in Ceylon and support Jayarathna Pathiraarach.
It is time to worship our Buddha here in Teldeniya which British put under water under the pretext of Victoria Project.
Gaminie Dissanayake paid with his life for this betrayal.
Playing cricket was more important to him than Buddha and our own history.
While our Cricket ranking is below Pakistan, Bangladeshand West Indies under Anura and Tilwin.
දැන් පොල් පිත්තෙන් ක්රිකට් ගහමු.
The future safety from grave diggers was in the mind of the British.
I am Addicted to Androids
Yes, I am addicted to Androids.
I am a Tech Guy.
I am a Political Guy.
I would summarily dismiss the politics from the very outset.
Live engine of Democracy is the Vibrant Opposition.
සිංහලෙන් කිව්වොත්, ප්රජාතන්ත්රවාදයේ දැතිරෝදය බැබලෙන විරුද්ධ පක්ෂයක පැවතීමය.
දැනට එය පවතින්නේ කැලුම් ජයසුමන නිසා පමණි.
අනිත් අය එම දැති රෝදයේ පෙත්තකට වත් ගත හැකි අය නොවේ.
ලංකාවේ එම ප්රතිරෝදය දැඩි ලෙස මර්දනය වෙමින් පවතී.
I think, I started with Kit Kat.
Before that I had a basic and cheap Singaporean cellphone which I discarded before coming to Australia.
I also had an "අඔ ඇට" cellphone for quick communication. Just to find the place where Anchor කිරිපිටි or පාන්පිටි is available. I send a messenger by a 3Wheeler to collect what is available.
I still have that cellphone with Hutch SIM card. I have a Singaporean SIM, too. I guess it has expired. The plan was to go back in 3 months.
I had a dialog prepaid Dongle.
I bought a brand new SLT-MobiTel Dongle and I have not yet removed its original seal. I di not support Dialog after it was taken over by an Indian subsidiary.
I am antiindian by conviction.
We have two MobiTel lines one prepaid and one postpaid.
My first email is not Google (not in existence) but MobiTel Yahoo Mail which I reactivated.
I have an AOL email too.
Both of them I use to publish my books at Amazon.
Coming to my books, I had to add a chapter on Androids.
Afterall it is Linux based.
I need to make a note on Nokia cellphones bought over by Microsoft and eventually killed.
Original Cellphone was an Finnish company's innovation.
Not an American innovation.
It now exists as HMD Global.
Appropriately name Human Mobile Devices.
I sold (not pawned) my gold ring and bought 10 Nokia cellphones.
After all they do not put the ring into the coffin of the owner to whom it belongs.
This decision I now consider, a smart one.
I had Android 5 to Android 9 which I invested fully.
I had Kit Kat on two cheap Chinese copycats and a game outfit which could not copy my 18 characters passed for gmail and blogposts.
I had Lollypop on one phone and Pie on another. I disposed all of them before leaving Ceylon.
One incident worth reporting.
I gave one of my cellphones with a Hutch Prepaid SIM to a STUPID guy who used to do odd jobs for me including finding Anchor milk food. The understanding was that he uses its DATA until data is over and throw it to a bin. He did not know how to change the SIM.
That stupid.
He gave it to a rouge Muslim Guy to add his SIM to it.
This Muslim guy removed my SIM and put one of his SIMS.
This guy must be running a BOGUS Hospital under my name. I pity all his patients.
This guy did not tell me this incident.
Only, after probing I got to know and I quickly disposed the house whose address was on the SIM to avoid legal implications.
In any case, I refused to pay a yearly Registration Fee to Ceylon Medical Council under which I was registered.
I am M. B. B. S. (Ceylon) which I am proud of.
I went with this guy and reported it to Hutch but Hutch run by a Muslim guy did not rectify the misappropriation of my SIM. That is why I HATE Hutch to this day.
Never trust a Muslim Guy in Ceylon.
Many of them are crooks.
This guy asked for my Laptop knowing that I was about to leave. I blasted him saying that You could not deal with a simple SIM and how can I trust you with a Laptop was my response.
The Laptop is now running 10 Linux distributions smoothly.
I shifted to a restaurant cum a residence in Kandy 3 weeks prior to my departure.
He was also accommodateed in this residence to help me sort out simple things.
Then of course I had a very reliable Driver and earthwhile helper from my cement tanks building to day to day mobility on the final days of my stay in Ceylon.
Of course, Sumane my classmate in preschool was in charge of my travel arrangements up to the Katunayake Air Terminal.
Thanks to all of them.
I have another ring I bought when I was in New Zealand in 1994 a decade after marriage.
Little note about Ceylonese attitude to marriage and rings.
It is not a love-bond but a financial-bond. The moment the relationship cracks the opposing party demands the ring back.
If not they go to Courts and spend 10 times the value of the ring. That is why lawyers are very rich in Ceylon.
The Court of course, try to patch up or settle it amicably which never materialize in Ceylon.
Another TOPIC for Amen Kariyakaravana.
Let me List the positives of Androids and Google Blog Spot.
1. It provides me space to Blog.
2. I have Google Drive to store my photos especially flowers of my liliie plants.
3. I have used many of its androids up to 13 the current one.
4. It does not change me for the basics.
5. It has 24/7 civerage.
6. In an emergency one can locate me in a few minutes.
7. It is child friendly and blocks unwanted sites.
8. Well it lets me opt out of its payment scheme.
9. I used only once a YouTube presentatuon to promote Linux.
10. All my Linux UPDATES are under Google and have a healthy audience.
11. It alerts me the moment I sign in with Gmail.
What more one needs?
Thank you Google for all these Services

අඹ බයන්න ලියන්න පුලුවන් මේ යතැරු පුවරු වෙන්
නමුත් වැරදි නිවරිදි කරන්න Desh keyboard එක යොදන්න සිදු වුනා.
සිංහල අකුරුවල ඉස්පිලි පාපිලි හල් කිරීම් සහ වැල් කිරීම් වැඩේ, නිසා සමහර විට වැඩේ දෙල් සහ කොස් වෙනවා.
වැල වෙන්න දෙන්න බැහැ.
තමන්ට සුදුසු keyboard එකක් තෝරා ගත යුතුයි.
වෛද්ය කොම්බු දෙකේ අකුරු ඛණඩෙයේ ඛ යන්න මෙහි නැහැ.අනිත් keyboard එකට ගිහිල්ලා ඛ යන්න සොයා ගත්තා.
ට ඪ බ භ desh වල නැහැ
අවුල හෙමින් සැරේ ලිහා ගත්තා.
මෟතජ සංජද නිසා වෙඩෙ අවුල්.
වැඩේට ගොඩක් වෙලා යනවා.
නමුත් අපේ අකුරු සහ වහර සෝදා පාලු වෙන්න නොදී බේරගන්න අවශ්යයයි.
මම පොඩි තල්ලුවක් දෙනවා.
කුමාරෝදය සහ මුනිදාස කුමාරතුංඟයන්ගේ පොත හැදැරු මට මගේ සිංහල ගුරුවරයා වික්රමසිංහ මනක් වෙනවා.
නමුත් කරුමය එය නොවේ.
සිංහල National Suit එක ඇඳගෙන පාසලට ආ ඔහූ මාස 3ක English අධ්යයාපනයට පසුව දික් කලිසම ඇඳලා පාසෙලෙන් පිට වීම.
මම භෂා දෙකම හරි හරියට පරිහරණය කරන්න තීරණය කලා.
සිංහලය, ජනතා විමුක්ති පෙරමුණට විනාශ කිරීමට දී බලා සිටිය යුතු නැහැ.
ඔවුන් රටට කරුමයකි.
Neptune is a Superb KDE Desktop BUT
Neptune is a Superb KDE Desktop BUT
Neptune has become one of my favorite distributions.
It is Debian based.
Old kernel 612.
Its Image is 3.6GB and fits a 4GB USB stick.
I am installing it on top of Neon User.
I have no other partition to spare.
Well, it has some problems.
Its KDE takes ages to UPDATE.
It cannot even install AbiWord.
It allows Synaptic Package Manager to be installed but after UPDATES I cannot install GNOME applications.
So I installed all what I want including Blender using Synaptic Package Manager and then clicked the KDE UPDATE.
It seems to have worked BUT I cannot get GNOME under its SDDM Plymouth BootCofiguration.
That Script is Frozen and won't uodate with GNOME.
Well I am missing only the GNOME Desktop but since I installed all the GNOME applications before hand I can use them under Neptune Desktop.
Well BlueStar Linux let me install GNOME on its SDDM. That is why I am highly impressed by BlueStar Linux and I two instancrs installed in my NUC.
I trief installing Neptune to get GNOME but I failed.
I am giving up.
One can have only one GRUB File in EFI partition.
That finishes my Tedting of KDE desktop.
I keep Neptune to remind me that I hate KDE by default.
Well Voyager is a new finding.
It is beautiful and and I got GNOME on top of its desktop.

Voyager Linux has done some Work on Ubuntu Desktop
Voyager Linux has done some Work on Ubuntu Desktop
Voyager Debian Edition was successfully installed in my NUC and GRUB was updated without a hitch.
Added blender, too.
No space left but Blender launched perfectly well. Old Edition (4.3.12).
I have already converted it to a GNOME Desktop.
It looks like Modiccia Cinnamon Desktop .
WiFi is OK.
Bluish Green colour arrangement is soothing to the eye.
As Ubuntu installation is in snail pace compared to ARCH derivatives, I decided to sit and wait.
Have a cup of Ceylon Tea, instead.
Well, i am a patient guy.
If I am not happy, I would install 13.5 Debian version.
It says 2.9GB is enough which I do not believe.
It has copied GNOME desktop arrangement to a large extent which enticed me to install it.
SLOW pace is killing me SOFTLY and World Cup Soccer coming to a close I have nothing else to do except finish my books.
I do 20 to 30 pages a sitting.
Writing books is a very boring pastime.
It has no Gparted but it can be installed in a live setting but one has to get Synaptic Package Manager, first.
It has OS-Uninstaller which I have never tried. May be to remove an OS already in a system.
It is valled Glade2scriptPython3.
It says it has a new version but I declined but with the installer on it cannit mount.
Nearly 15 minutes, it is still retrieving file after file.
As expected it failed.
I am going to try Debian version.
Since, I have only Forky installed having the Debian 13 was a good idea with some changes to the Desktop.
I won't try Blender with only 12.7GB. I did by increasing the /root to 30GB. I had to sacrifice Netrunner one of my Linux old flames.
It is good for Debian to foster one of these children.
By the way, I went for factory setting of my Chinese MI cellphone and saved 50% of storage. With all my needed applications installed It went up to 44%.
I may try Debian on it now.
Debian does not support Cellphone edition unless it is specifically built for Linux.
Neptune has become one of my favorites and is Debian based.
කමන්ඩෝ බලකායක් රටට අහිම් කළ අමන ජනතා විමුක්ති පෙරමුණ
එමන් කාරියකරවන මේවා නොලියන නිසා මටවත් මේ ගැන සටහනක් කිරීමට සිදුවී ඇත.
එය කෙටියෙන් මෙසේය.
ඇතුළු විස්තර මට ලැබුනේ නවලෝක රෝහලේදීය.
මා රෝහලේ පරිපාලන කටයුතුවල යෙදී සිටින විටය.
නවලෝකේට ගියා, පස්සේ පරලොකෙට ගියා යන අනිවර්තයෙන් බැබලුන, රෝහල ඒ නමින් ගලවා ගැනීම මගේ උත්සහාය විය.
ලලිත් ඇතුලත්මුදලි එවිට මිය ගොස්ය.
ඔහුගේ දියණිය රෝගාතුර විය. තස්ත්රයන්ගේ උවදුර නිසා රජයේ රෝහලකට ඇතුලත් කිරීම නුසුදුසු යන්න පිළිගන්නට සිදුවිය.
ඇය රෝහලට ඇතුලත් කලත් පිළියම් කිරීමට සුදුසු වෛද්යවරයෙක් නොවිය.
මහරෝහලෙන් බලකායක් ආදේශ කිරීමට සිදුවිය. නමුත් නම ලැබුනේ නැවලෝක ආයතනයටය. මේවට මමත් සුළු සුළු වශයෙන් අත ගැසීමි.
අවශ්ය වෛද්ය බලකාය Internal සහ External වශයෙන් වර්ග කොට පැය 24ම ආවරණය කිරීමට සැලසුම් කෙලෙමි.
නැවතත් ලලිත් ඇතුලත්මුදලිට.
ඔහු ආරක්ෂාක ඇමතිය.
බෙදුන් වාදීන් විරුද්දව කමාන්ඩෝ බලකාය ගොඩ නැගුවේ ඔහුය.
Rapid Recruitment Initiative ඉදිරියට ආවේ ඒ නිසාය.
400යක බලකායකට Gazette පත්රයක් නිකුත් විය. ජාතික විමුක්ති පෙරමුණේ නරුමයන් ආයුධ පුහුණුව නොමිලේ ලබා ගැනීමට මේ 400ට ඇතුලත් විය.
හරිම ගණන නිගමනය කළ නොහැකි විය.
400යම පලුමු මෙහෙයුමේදීම ආයුධ සමග අතුරුදහන් විය.
එකෙකු හැර 399ක්ම පසුපස එළවා නිමා කිරීමට සිදුවිය.
බෙදුන් වාදින්ට විරුද්ද සටන අවුරුදුදකින් පසු බෑවුමකට ලක්විය.
ඉතුරුවූ පුද්ගලයා හොදම වෙඩික්කාරයය. ඔහු කාලයක් අදික කුලියට ඉලක්ක එකතු කරමින් සහ හිට්ටි පනිමින් සිට අතර පසුව අතුරුදහන් විය.
මගේ නිගමනය ඔහුව CIA ඒක clandestine වෙඩික්කාරයන් පුහුණුවට යොදා ගන්න ඇති බවය.
මෙය වැරදි නම් මම සමාව බජනය කරමි.
මෙයින් හොදක් විය.
ඉන් පසුව කිසිම JVP කාරයකුට ආරක්ෂක හමුදා කිසිවකට බැදීමට බැරිවිය.
දැනට බලයේ සිටින රජයට කඹ්රරුකන් කරන දේශපාලන ගැත්තන් ආරක්ෂක හමුදාවල නැත්තේ ඒ නිසාය.
ඩයි මයිනා හිර වෙලා ඉන්න ගැටළුව එයයි.
බෙදුන් වාදීන්ට අවශ්ය හමුදාව නටබුන් කරන්නටය.
බෞද්ධ ආගම විනාශ කිරීමටය.
විමල් වීරවන්ස, චම්පික රණවක සහ චාපා බණ්ඩාර මෙයට විරුද්දව නැගී සිටිය යුතුය.

Thank YOU to Google AI
I have had another conversation with Google AI.
It was a fruitful discussion.
It cleared all my doubts about
GRUB
SWAP
File Systems
Kernels and
How Linux boots when an additional distribution is installed.
I have 14 distributions Installed and CachyOS and REBORN OS do not mount.
BlueStar Linux is the most versatile of the lot.
My base is Debian.
කතෝලික පල්ලියේ කෘමන්ත්රණය නැවතත් කරලියට
බෙදුන්වාදීන්ට සුදුසු අන්දමට රට දෙකඩ කිරුමේ කෘමන්ත්රනයට දැනටමත් සොදුපත් සකස් කර ඇත.
මෙහෙයුම බාර ගෙන ඇත්තේ කතෝලික පල්ලියයි.
කාඩිනල්තුමා ගජරාමෙට වැඩ.
මෙයට උසාවියේ ම්රල් පුටුවල වැජඹෙන නඩුකාර උන්නාන්සේ කෙනෙක් තෝරා ගෙන ඇත.
ඔහු පල්ලියේ ඔරසන් දෙන අතර, ම්රල් පුටුවෙන් විශ්රාම යන්නේ නැතුව වැජඹෙන්නට, අලුත්. නීතියකුත් නීති පොතට ගේන්න හදනවා දේශපාලකයන්ගේ උදව්වෙන්.
අනුරට ඉදිරිපත් කරන්න සොදුපත් දැනටමත් සකසා තියනවාලු
අනුර (ඔහු) පල්ලියේ අතකොලුවක්.
වැටත් නියරත් ගොයම් කෑවිට, කාට කියනුද ඒ අමාරුව.
