Froggy Sketch

I am photogenic not a sketch!

Friendly Visitor

I think when massive roads are built there should be corridors built under them for these and other creatures to move freely.

The road is the most devastating creature of man.

He is supposed to walk erect but not to race on the earth surface.

Road racing is a madness created for his ego and nothing but.

He could never match an elegance of a cheetahs.

This Tree Frog is an annual visitor.

It is the best indicator of quality of water.

It's eggs cannot survive a few hours of water contaminated by man.

The decline of it's variety and population is directly related to water pollution.

These are simple facts of nature.

Chinese eating them add to their decline and the world pollution is directly related to Chinese population expansion.

So the Coronavirus has come as an answer and who knows China created this menace to curtail it's population without political communist rhetoric.

They are well known for single child per family and infanticide in the past.

He/she is lazy to cover the last 10 feet to my fish tank at the top most level.

Generally a late night visitor but block or lockdown with Coronavirus and no vehicles on thee road it is bold enough of to come out in day time.

This one recognises me and won't move an inch until it is ceremoniously taken to it's final destination.

It has come a long way and probably is dead tired.

Millions of them die crossing the road every day.

Our most ancient relative is threatened by the Chinese guys who eat them as a delicacy.

Please boycott Chines restaurants as a default strategy.

Ubuntu as a Last Resort, Did not Work

I have never used Ubuntu as a distribution and used occasionally as a demonstration but my love was Mandriva, SuSe and Debian.

I could not install both Peppermint 10 and PCLinux side by side with Debian and finally decided to install Ubuntu 20.10 and as a preparation installed it on my PC on the second drive to boot from the second drive leaving my workhorse Debian in the SSD.

SSD does not have a MBR or master boot record.

I could have written the GRUB to boot from a USB with so many USB around I would forget.

Installation went all right it picked up all the distribution already installer including PinGuy.

I am pretty sure it will not pick the ESP boot partition.

As anticipated it crash landed and could not figure out the ESP boot partition.

I booted FATPup installed in the Laptop  and found a home partition in my name in one of the partitioned used and over 5GB written in the other, assuming it's Ubuntu distribution files.

What I am now going to do is to reinstall the second Debian installation having prepared space by deleting few partitions not used

I know Debian will figure out if Ubuntu could be written to the GRUB file.

I have gone through this routines 1000 times and while it is being booted I will sip a cup of tea.

In good old days in BIOS fstab boot record I would write the booting sequence and mount the partition in question.

I have forgotten those details and ESP partition can possibly be edited likewise.

But I let Debian automation to do the job.

Yes Debian did the job and Ubuntu was booted from ESP partition.

Now I can display Ubuntu to a guy new to Linux who has no knowledge of Debian.

I think going after various new distributions is a waste of time and Debian 11 is already out for one to try.

I am dry of Data and Internet access currently.

I will try it when the lockdown is eased.
