Plop OS
Plop OS is a cute distribution which boots on my 64 bit PC But not on my Intel NUC.
Its boots on text mode and wen I type startx it boots onto a graphic mode.
It is long time since I used startx command.
It i similar to 4M Linux but has blender and Gimp.
I hope developers take the trouble to have a FAT partition with a GRUB file so that even Intel's NUC would boot it.
Film on CDC Head and Bill Gates Combo
I managed to find a film on CDC Head and Bil Gates (he owns shares of Pharmacological Companies from his ill gotten money from poorly performing Microsoft windows) which goes into the dark side and shoddy deals of CDC head.
He mislead all including the former president and propped up President Biden for coverup.
He has no shame at all!
By the way, President Putin knows all about biological warfare against Russians. Putin has demolished all the Bio-Labs in Ukraine and he will see to that the American proxy guys are chased out of Ukraine in due course.
Why WHO is numb about all these is my bone of contention.
Million have died and millions including children are going to die and somebody should be accountable to this premature vaccination programme.
WHO head shifting his focus to Climate Change and Darvos fiasco will continue while lot are dying in China.
It is strange why China is not taking these guys to task.
I am a doctor in retirement, I almost kicked the bucket from Myocarditis from the First Dose of the Vaccine.
That made me to write a book on these shoddy deals.
It is Robert Kennedy Junior who narrates the story in the film, in a historical sense.
What little Bill Gates knows about vaccines?
USA and UK doing Bio-Terrorism on Slovak Minority Race in Ukraine.
WHO did nothing to stop this SORDID Experiments in Ukraine.
Besides all the Narcotic Experiments were carried out here and Ukrainian volunteer soldiers were used to test them.
Some holding high position in governments were hard addicts.
All these happened during Borden Administration.
Darvos pledges of Ukraine aid were used for all these illegal activities of the CIA albeit indirectly.
I am not going to write another book on conspiracy, since Russians videos are putting them out almost on daily basis.
All caught with pants down.
NUC's Integrated Graphic card is hopeless!
I bought a basic NUC Box and I tried to play some of my old films.
Horrible experince.
Besides sound does not work.
Well I have an old PC to play them.
No worry.
I am not much interested in films now.
Booting an Old SATA Disk with ONLY LINUX
I made hash of things trying to erase an OLD one terabyte SATA Disk with DATA. To begin with formatting it was difficult took a long time.
Even Ubunbtu could not get the GRUB file configured.
Two of one terabyte disks and one 360 GB SATA disk with seven (7) distributions in them to boot.
First terabyte hard disk was OK with new almost unlimited GPT partitions.
The other had old four primary partitions table, one being a 600 GB NTFS partition.
Ultimately with the help of Debian I got three distributions installed with a relatively big NTFS partition for DATA.
After 48 hours careful planning I got the Seagate disk working for my needs.
One of 120 GB SATA disk was retired having formatted with a FAT partition.
I did not want to retry the other one terabyte SATA disk. It also goes back to its original box for safe keeping.
In two hours I downloaded 3 Linux Distributions and tested all of them on USB sticks.
Nearly 14 GB of Data of Nitrux Linux Archman Linux and Open Mandriva Gnome.
tere is another Russian Distribution called RUNTU and I am going to test it.
Runtu desktop is pleasing but it is only in Russian.
Download is not yet over.
Trying to download Vanilla Linux Iso.
It looks a good distribution
Note of Quora
I just logged off from this site.
Like Facebook and Twitter once one sign with them they do not let you take the registration off.
What I did was to make some nasty comments on a simple question on Linux.
They sent me a warning but still did not take me off the site.
They make money on the sly behind my comments by making advertisements.
Just like Google AdSense.
By the way, I have not made a cent from Google AdSense.
That is not the intention of this site but to promote Linux which is free!
Do not violate ones own principles.
It is not worth wasting a blog piece on Quora.
What they do is to use gullible Web visitors to ask questions and keep the site active while on the background make advertisements and make money on the sly.
Do not get caught?
The neocolonials are on the decline and demise. This will coincide with the fall of Biden, the impotent president of War Mongering.
He put money of the entire American War Chest in Ukraine to oust President Putin.
In reality come next election Joe Biden will be ousted by popular vote.
That is my prediction two years ahead.
The utter wastage in any war will be felt within two years.
We in Ceylon ended 35 years of ethnic war on 2009 but still in debt and our economy is in tatters.
Very same fate will befall Ukraine with coffers empty and nobody dare put money for construction when corruption is prevelant transparency is non existent.
What will happen is the destruction on unitary American lead colonialism and the emergence of Multipolar BRICS with new social dimension.
Then Ruble and Yuan will be the global currencies and dollar and pound would be in a situation of trying to catch up with the lost dominance.
In this scenario Brussels and EU would have to design a new currency called Global Recession Currency for War Mongering or GRC-W.
For this currecy to work there should be anothet war in Thiwan.
Give US WAR anywhere on this planet is the American True Dream.
War, War and more War.
Let me finish with MibiTel.
Ever since Maru Sira and his rice (not a mango friend like TB Illangaratne) brother infiltrated the TeleCom and MobiTel, the decline in quality and service is pretty obvious.
My first Dongle was from MobiTel.
For some reason it stopped booting wireless connection from my old laptop (not the current one with Star Linux installed in it).
I reported it and wanted to buy a new one.
This Dudley guy who has no knowledge of cellphones discontinued it.
I had already gone to Dialog for Broad Band internet connectivity and ditching MobiTel was almost instantaneous.
However I kept the SIM as my secondary Google sign in cellphone with that SIM.
I tried to sign in with Google with this SIM and Google realized the problem and wanted me to change the cellphone.
I obliged with Dialog and immediately signed into Gmail.
After nearly 40 years I ditched MobiTel for good and kept the land phone for PEO TV, having paid Rs.10,0000/= in arrears.
I have one dialog voice mail and others are on two 4G Wingles and on Mobile WiFi Unit.
I had a Huawei Mobile WiFi and stuck another MobiTel SIM in it and for only two days it had fast service and it trikled down to 4 to 8 KB per second.
I put that back to its original box.
By the way, I am going to put all my cellphones to hibernation so that CIA cannot snooze on me.
I use my PC on Linux which if CIA tried to penetrate I will have a log file to prove and login history.
I think with Star Linux Russians are pretty safe.
Star Linux is not my workhorse but it has all the utilities in one place.
What happening in Telecom and MobiTel is SORDID.
Unlike in the banks these teller guys who collect the money don't put the money to the credit of the customer same day.
They collect the money and give loans from that money to the guys in the underworld or Pathalaya.
This was done under the direction of Ma Ra Ya now deposed.
These guys are still in service and the New Lokka is impotent to deal with these guys.
The same thing happens in the Water Board and Electricity Board.
I am aware of one bookshop in Kandy, the manager did the same thing.
This guy died of a cancer and I hope all these guys who cheat get protracted cancers in their retirement, including all the big shots out of power.
Let me finish with "Alien Saga".
It is my new book going through the final touches.
Aliens in other worlds are not capitalists.
They use Free Dark Energy for flights and Free Wireless for communication.
Their civilizations are an antithesis to Capitalistic Worlds.
This applies to Russia which is fast becoming a Capitalistic and making money on oil and gases.
In my life I won't see free energy and I won't be born again in failed state Ceylon.
I may be born in a type 3 civilization and the last two years of my life, I would go on to state 5 Jhana state for that misadventure.
Yes 2 years of solitary meditation and I will beat that Tibetan monk.
Coming back to Steam Deck and OS is a failed enterprise of Valve.
Two reasons.
They took money from gullible waiting list guys and failed to deliver goods in time.
Even if you got the deck one has to pay for Internet Connectivity.
It is far better to get a console with few games not dependent on online Connectivity.
Second is Linux is Free Software and there are enough substitutes already there to play games in Linux.
Sparky Linux Game Over is only one of them.
In a few years Steam Deck is a failure and my interest on using Steam OS had waned already and I would be talking about China and AI in space.
Coming to Ceylon service providers are either expensive or the service is poor.
MobiTel Service is horrible.
They cannot provide even cordless phone and our land phone out of service.
PEO service sucks.
I use Dialog TV and they discontinued service when I did not pay within 2 weeks.
I have six SIMs (one is on a Broad band unit) I spend over Rs.6000/= a month, mainly downloading Linux images not Porn.
As a medical guy I have seen all HOLES in my working life.
I have changed myself to data packages and no voice mails at all.
I sleep 8 hours.
I use 8 hours for Activity of Daily Living (ADL) and
8 hours for creativity -now (all my life I did not have proper sleep).
I sleep well but only handicap is I do not have Dreams.
Today I am going to Dialog to buy another Dongle.
Simply because on a Dongle wireless connection is more robust than on a mobile cellphone.
99% of the guys who use a cellphone does not know that it is a handheld computer.
It was built by CIA to track criminals and CIA is tracking everybody on this planet (except Russian spies)now and criminals have a good time in Ceylon and Russia.
My MobiTel SIM on a Huawei Mobile Unit was active for 48 hours and I used up Rs.500/= of data.
I won't replenish it's data.
Let me start with PoP OS and PCLinux both USB sticks boot up with my Laptop but did not bother to install since both are scarred of Windows hegemony.
Number 1 is Debian.
Number 2 Emmabantus.
Number 3 is old edition of Debian.
Number 4 Sparky Linux especially Game Over edition.
Number 5 Mint Cinnamon desktop followed by Mate desktop.
Number 6 is Star Linux.
Number 7 Arch Linux BlueStar edition.
I did not like the Arch MX Edition.
Star Linux is only One User Linux installation.
It takes over the hard disk and won't let you boot with other Linux distributions.
Good thing about it is it erases all traces of BIOS script of Microsoft Windows.
Hard disk is only 120GB SATA and Linux, for example Ubuntu uses only 60GB and I can have at least 2 Linux distributions.
What I did was removed it stuck it to an external disk and using my new Intel NUC installed Emmabantus.
It booted OK with NUC but windows said no bootable disk since it has no traces of windows.
I am reinstalling AstraLinux.
It uses 20GB for the root and 2GB SWAP and then only I realized I had only 1GB RAM (Adata).
So my laptop is not game ready and one needs 4GB of RAM, ideally 8GB.
It has only one slot
My NUC had 4GB RAM and two slots(type 4 not 5).
Star Linux let you select new kernel but I used generic 15.10..
It's desktop is called Fly and only yesterday I did a little review or look at its configuration.
I am banking on Star Linux to detect my Emmabantus when configuring GRUB.
I want AbiWord and see only Emma supports it.
Besides Emma has the Apple like desktop.
It did not boot and the Windows bootstrap interfere with booting.
Went back removed first few partitions and allowed Astra to do the honours.
Failing which I will use BSD CD to destroy everything and install TANK partition.
I have done this many times before.
Worse I still have disk with Endless OS.
I do not panic now.
Astra Linux has enormous amount of packages and data base but no AbiWord.
Russian Astra Linux Saved me From Endless OS
I would cut the story short.
My Old Laptop BIOS was taken over by Microsoft Script and I could not dual boot with Linux.
Long time ago I used BSD and erased it but BSD did not have lot of software.
After trial error I found Endless OS could do the same.
Once Endless OS takes over it does not let me boot from CD or USB.
I removed the SSD, put a spare one and let Astra Linux do the honours.
Astra Linux let me dual boot with Debian and Emmabantus.
Thank you Russian developers.
I have a new start this year!
Russian Calculate Linux has become active.
Probably after my comment Russians have become active and Calculate Linux based on Debian Unstable Branch has many desktops.
I am downloading cinnamon desktop.
Its download speed is super fast.
It does not boot with my NUC but boots live on my PC.
Beautiful distribution.
Updating Your Linux PC with Daily Power Cuts
It is nearly 5 AM in the morning and I decided to Update 338 packages which I purposely delayed.
I am not a guy who go for daily update.
I use few utilities and if they work OK, why bother.
Most of the updates were for LibreOffice Firefox and X System and System V Init and GRUB boot loader.
It took nearly 45 minutes.
Downloading.
Installing.
Configuring.
Thankfully there were no power outages and it is almost over.
Be careful when updating in Ceylon.
Mind you unlike in Windows not rebooting and I could get to the Internet and blog this while update was on.
Mind You I did use Dialog WiFi with a Ethernet Jack fearing pure wireless may be slow.
Data transfer is fast with Ethernet which Linux is good at.
Wireless work with Linux I am cautious.
By the way, it went into dark mode,which I am not going to change to save current usage.
My NUC is using about 15 Watts.
That is lovely.
Let me start with the BAD News.
The Iso Image of Free BSD was defective and did not match.
So I did not write it on. DVD.
The Ubuntu 21.10 took a long time to write but was not happy ending the session.
Yet it booted but could not drive into install mode.
Endless OS and Debian 15.1.6 writing went OK.
I will boot Debian now.
Pardus Gnome not Impressive
The book Alien Saga is coming out soon
This is a Satire Piece not real!
Joe Biden is a similar Guy who has signed off on Ukraine War!
Military Industrial Complex (MIC) which Rockefeller brothers help to create has taken over America and its world affairs!
American Politics
When the Truman term ended in 1953, General Eisenhower, the golfing President entered office. The General knew exactly how to fight battles and win wars.
Just command someone to do it while he went golfing.
Eisenhower's cabinet contained two of the most evil men in the world since WWII - the Dulles brothers. Kissinger, Dick Cheney, David Eddington, Karl Rove and Elliot Abrams come pretty close in matching them in evil. One brother was the Secretary of State and the other one was Director of the CIA.
And then there was Nelson Rockefeller he was no stranger to secrecy and the intelligence agencies and Eisenhower had already assigned him chairmanship of the President's Advisory Committee on Government Reorganization. In addition Rockefeller was appointed the head of the Operations Coordinating Board responsible for integrating the implementation of national security policies - the OCB included the Under Secretary of State, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Foreign Operations Administration, the Director of Central Intelligence, and the President's Special Assistant for Psychological Warfare. The ET phenomenon had been well analyzed by the military by then. The report that Nelson Rockefeller saw was devastating, it basically predicted the end of world as he knew it. Nelson Rockefeller was reputedly a 'liberal', eastern republican, not like the narrow minded ones from the south. However, Nelson also believed in the 'American Way' and the superiority of 'Western Civilization'. He was proud of his white, Anglo Saxon heritage, American capitalism and his Christian upbringing. He was also an internationalist who believed in spreading these American/European values across the world through evangelizing.
The other earthly races were the white man's burden and he would show them the right way to live.
But these ETs were going to spoil all that.
They appeared to be far more advanced and superior.
They even talked in terms of peace and brotherhood.
If the world at large found out about these superior beings, why would they bother with what he and America had to say?
It would be the end of American and Anglo Saxon domination.
It may even be the end of capitalism.
With cheap, unlimited energy sources like the ETs promised, the third world would advance at a rapid pace.
All poverty and want would be eliminated.
Within a couple of decades, they would catch up with the West.
With free energy and technological progress, the countries with the highest population would be the most powerful.
China and India would be dominant with the US a distant third.
Christian beliefs and dogmas were also at risk.
This would never do.
The ETs had to be outwitted and defeated.
The world was to be united against the ETs under the leadership of America and its allies.
Of course with clean, free energy, there would be no pollution, no climate change, no global warming, no poverty, no starvation but these were not the problems of the 50s and 60s in America nor considerations for the 'free market' republicans who wanted the market to fix all these problems.
Truman and his team had done a good job keeping the ET information from the public but now it was time to take it further underground, not only would the public not know about, it would be hidden from all elected officials as well.
Nobody but those within military/intelligence complex who were already involved with ETs would have that information and any others would get to know only by invitation from those already in it.
This group would be financed completely off the books, by black budgets from the CIA and other agencies or from friends in the know in private industry (banking, defense and energy/oil companies) or even self financed by illegal activities when necessary.
The ultimate cover up had begun.
The private industry partners in this black project were very likely led by Nelson's brother David Rockefeller. Together with other European banking families, US defense contractors and energy interests, the two Rockefeller brothers (or at least Nelson alone) would help the US intelligence communities (CIA/NSA/NRO etc) manage the operation.
The golfing president signed off on it and essentially signed himself out of the loop without quite understanding what he had done.
Newspapers and YouTube
It looks like, all Sri-Lankan papers have gone into a BIG slump.
Equally, YouTube is almost dead in Ceylon.
Either the public have lost interest due to economic hits or they do not believe in news circulating.
I do not want to name them two of the political papers have NOT updated their web papers for over six months.
This is a very bad sign for a working democracy.
Globally speaking,
Both BBC / CNN are outlets for the democratic party and Biden.
Fox news is for the Republicans.
What is really happening in Ukraine is not a mystery but a meat grinder for poor and ill trained recruits.
It is estimated over 150,000 ( probably 30 to 50,000 foreign recruits mainly Polish) Ukrainian backers and 30 to 500,00 gone missing in action).
The numbers are colossal but nobody seems to go for negotiations and there is callous disregard for human life.
It is Christmas and Nobody in the Vatican has the backbone to speak out,
Is it fear?
Is it the connivance to one of the parties?
These are the answers the global citizen like me expects from real people from real politicains.
None left in UK and USA.
Manhood
The man can climb
The highest mountain
On this planet Earth
Yet, he cannot fly
Like a bird
In desperation
He created
A flying object
Called aero-plane
Which runs on fuel
Polluting
The entire planet
He has landed
On the Moon
On the first attempt
Without making
A single mistake
Yet the scientific projection
Is and was
That man cannot penetrate
The Van Allen Belt
Without radiation sickness
Which is lethal
In less than five minutes
Only thing
A man is good at
Is lying even
To mother and his or her
Fellow beings
My only hope
During the Christmas Celebrations
Do not lie
If your pocket is empty
And do not buy on credit
Which you cannot afford
With your own earning
Let the politicians lie
Saying
That they will
Bring rice and gold
From Moon or heaven
When the price of oil
Filling a tank
Going up
And skyrocketing
Day by day
Motherhood
If I do not say,
Anything about
Motherhood
If not Womanhood
My mother would
Be unhappy and
God only knows
Where she is now
I am happy to say
My mother never
Encouraged Falsehood
Yet, she lied to me
When my dog died
On the road by accident
I never saw the dead dog
And the event was pushed
Under the carpet
That was my gut feeling
What I know is
Mothers lie
For their children
Instantly and perennially
In this
Country of Ceylon
I would relate
One story for posterity
An aristocratic mother
And her son
Who lived
In a rented house
To end this piece
There was a sweet
Old gentleman
On the street of Kandy
He had a lovely
Collection of books
Collected patiently
In years of his life
He gave those books
To the son
Of the aristocratic woman
And one by one
He sold them
For petty cash
When this old gentlemen
Wanted the books back
To be donated to
The Temple of the Tooth
He absconded
I confronted the mother
In their own house
In Kandy
And told her
I have
The record of the books
And planning to take
Legal action
They disappeared
To their base
Probably in Matale
I could not and did not
Want to trace them
Back to their hometown
Problem in Ceylon is
Everybody in this blessed land
When requested
Gives a wrong address
And a wrong telephone number
I have one of my friends
Who lost a large sum of money
To a guy who pretended to buy
A plot of land belonging to him
And got a large loan
With a bogus claim
Without any security or surety
He is still trying to trace the Guy
The recent Shaft
And Shafter incident
Is nothing more
But an aberration
Of trying to frame a guy
And the act going awry
NuTyX Linux from France
I downloaded the 2 GB Enlightenment Desktop.
It boots up and did not mess up with my NUC BIOS.
I was annoyed it did not have Ceylon or Sri-Lanka in it's list.
It is a French Development say multi-linugual and Ceylon or Sri-Lanka was not included.
French are supposed to be diplomatic!
If you are a Ceylonese do not USE it.
These Guys thinks Ceylon is part of India.
Font selection of the Desktop was huge which was good for a old guy like me but not for a newbie.
Desktop has no aesthetic value if you compare it to DeepIn or Star Linux from Russia.
It has a long way to go.
This only a brief test report and I won't use at all in my life.
They are trying to come out with large selection of desktops and none can beat Plasma 5 of Debian.
It is far better for them to select only one desktop preferably Plasma and add tits and bits from France.
But Good Luck for future development.
23-12-2022
This was posted in 2015, seven years on we are not better.
This is partly due to Corona Virus Pandemic Effect and bashing Russians for EU's and America's own fault lines.
Ukraine WAR is an antithesis now and people are in the dark in most of Europe.
Linux may not recover at all, Linus Torvalds is in America.
In the Rush to post before Christmas and New year Holidays Developers make lot of mistakes.
It is similar to how Steam OS was STAGE managed.
Nobody has a Steam OS to test drive.
I am talking about the DECK.
Where as lot of other play stations with equal merit have surfaced.
My advice enjoy the holidays and try these new ones in 3 months time when most of the bugs are fixed.
One Night of TROUBLE with Linux
I was trying to upgrade my computer with Linux derivatives and take an early Christmas Break.
I list the Linux Nuances not on any order of merit here.
All these are Human Errors and can be rectified.
I believe all the Linux developers are DOING a great JOB but by rushing to put out the distribution before Christmas leave behind some ugly nuances.
They should be excused for minor lapses.
1. Peppermint FRONT end is DARK and UGLY.
I get a headache after few minutes of work.
2. LibreOffice has no Thesaurus in Linux.
3. Ubuntu 14.04 takes four hours,mind you it is not their fault;
(my Internet speed is down to 5 KB / per second by default action by the service provider; I Pay over Rs.8000 per month and get only 20 GB of downloads which I finish in one day of downloads and the rest of the month GO snail space even to read my email.
This they CALL a Five Star Service.
I hope during the Christmas holiday at least, they allow a leeway.
But at the end of the installation delete them which also takes a bit of time.
Why can't they Install first in English and give the USER to download his or her language afterwards?
4. Knoppix 7.6 is beautiful on a Live Session But has a major glitch.
I downloaded the English version and Installed it to reiserfs partition.
It is not in English but probably in Danish.
I tried to convert it to English at boot time but it boots so fast that touching the Del Key or F2 has no effect.
5. Boot loaders are finicky, especially Knoppix but it gives the option of not installing it and configure manually.
6. None of them detect the UEFI based Window's 8 in my second hard drive.
I deliberately shifted its UEFI partition.
7. DVD booting of Pinguy, and Knoppix were halted abruptly due to sectors not written properly on the boot disk.
They were burned by K3B on Peppermint.
One disk did not finish writing on it.
I am not a novice to Linux and I have gone through these nuances many a times, I can tolerate all this in one night of Linux Dance BUT what I cannot tolerate is our Telecom restricting my access to Internet at 5 KB per second.
It is killing me softly.
I take my hat off for all the developers.
I am making these comments before Microsoft guys trying to bash (not the bash script) your back with critical comments.
If YOU hear these comments from a Microsoft Guy / Girl please ignore them and have a PATCH ready by January.
Mind you Microsoft takes one year to patch their faults by that time they release a new edition for which you have to PAY.
Only foolish guys PAY for their own faults and make Microsoft Rich by many a Miles.
You Guys/Girls need a holiday and you richly deserve a holiday.
In any case I am going into recess any time from now and if you do not hear from me please do not assume I am dead and gone with the wind.
I will be back with all cylinders firing at top level.
Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2023.
