U.S.B. Multi Booting
 

Final Update on U.S.B. Multi -Booting

This is the Final Update on preparing a Multi-booting USB.

YUMI
In spite of warning, by Peppermint, I installed YUMI Version One (using Debian Installer) on Ubuntu 14.04.
With lot of fiddling, I managed to Install few distributions on a 8 GB USB.
It installed everything including writing the boot menu.
 

But USB failed to boot.
This was written in Gambas programming language.

I did not investigate the reasons and what were the missing files.

Multi-booting USB (the follow up of YUMI)

Then from source-forge I got version 7 of multi-booting USB and installed it using Debian Installer and both attempts at launching it on Ubuntu 14.04 and Pinguy 14.04 failed due possibly to a  missing dependency.

Sudo and root does not work and program crashes and disappears, never to be activated again.
 

In addition Ubuntu does not have a utility to Uninstall a package installed from Debian Installer.

This is a very dicey situation.

Multi-Sysytem from France works nicely on Peppermint, Pinguy and and Ubuntu.
It does not let you delete a distribution.
This is something available on Debian Multiboot-USB

I did not test it on Debian (I was bit lazy and Debian on 7 version is bit high and advanced for me) and it is probably a result of the distribution variability.

I have a request from both developer teams.

1. Multi-System should add the functionality to delete a distribution/s.

2. Multiboot-USB should work on the dependency and the distribution variation and specially the root and sudo administration.
 

It should release the source code for other distribution workers to tinker the missing files.

3. UnetBootIn should work on both of the above issues and produce the third viable option (multi-booting and deletion of distributions) which is available for KDE desktops unlike Multi-System and Multiboot-USB.

I want both packages to succeed in the long run.

Both are pretty good. 
Mind you we only had UnetBootIn, my favorite for different reasons.
It can be used on KDE desktops.

KDE guys and girls still cannot figure out and produce (Gnome the winner) a good USB Multi-Boot Utility.

Magnetic Equator, Kandy and Ravana and the Linux Revival

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

JVP and NPP are known violate the above four moral logic  in the past and currently, too. Their model has been antidemocratic and violent and killing is a natural tendency. 

Taking credit for rounding up Mafia gangs rounded up by the Interpol is ridiculous and their mode is Marfiosi internally and habitually.

It is their so called "Spiritual Leader" and the "Boss" or "Inner Circle" that determines their sordid logic.

Both as a Peradeniya University student and a don I have witnessed them. 

But unlike the current university guys and girls we had the courage to stand up to them and make them marginal and ineffective. 

Their mode of operation was to mount irrational strikes and disrupt the day to day life. 

It is a pathetic and paranoid ploy.

 

Disgusting.

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 it and it made 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. The magnetic field is supposed to be generated by molten inner plates.

6. This field wobble and the magnetic poles shift gradually and sometimes violently.

7. Palaeomagnetism is the record of magnetic evidence in stones which Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi should invest his interest.

He should use some simple methods to see their current orientation.

A simple but a strong magnets that one can carry in a trouser pocket is good enough. 

 

One can see whether the orientation is natural or due to human intervention.

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

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

10. 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 in Ethiopia. 

 

The Magnetic field then from there onward bends to go through South America where earth's biodiversity remains to this day.

Amazon is important to humanity and it is only only second to Africa.

USA, China, Russia and Australia are 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.

Indians (recent BRICS gathering in China) are there to spy on Chinese 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, Americans are also double dealers.

 

Be mindful if you meet an Indian or an American.

 

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.

Cheet more sharper tools

Jasper, sharper and more durable

Used at the tips of the wooden poles

Geometric flints of triangular, cresentric and quadratic 

Bone tools

Monkey teeth to bore holes on leather.

May have worn a raincoat during rainy season.

Elephant Leg bones used for more durable tools.

Whether they hunted elephants or used remains of elephants is debatable but they were hunters slowly becoming social beings.

They moved 80km down and met seafaring tribes and බෙලි or බෙල්ලන් is the key word.

Primitive communication develeds as a result of Salt Trade.

Surprisingly no cave pinting and ochre use but some human bone were painted.

??? Chief of a clan.

Living in Open places probably less rainy and the shelter would have been simpe huts.

Use of ochre for ornamentaion and body paint. The paint would have the first discovery of antibiotic wet paint not an oinment or liniment that we use.
