NEWS 200428 about exGENT (Gentoo) 64 bit
I’ve made a new version of exGENT with only a few necessary packages pre-installed. It uses LXQt 0.14.1 as Desktop environment and kernel 5.6.7-gentoo-aufs-exton corresponding Kernel.org’s latest stable kernel 5.6.7. The ISO file is of 2100 MB. Despite this exGENT version 200428 runs surprisingly fast from DVD or USB. Even in VirtualBox and VMware. Faster than most other Linux live systems.

Distrohop updates

I accidentally installed Kubuntu 20.04 over KDE neon. No biggie, same thing, but I was expecting to be replacing my installation of Ubuntu Studio 20.04 Beta. So then I had to find something else to go on that partition. I tried Fedora but could not get confirmation that it would install correctly or would get the EFI in the right place. So I just installed Sabayon. It took less than 2.5 hours, an extremely quick installation for Gentoo, especially considering I was using an old USB2 stick and installing...

I got in a really bad car accident Wednesday morning. From the look of the video, it should have killed me, but it didn't even break anything. I've been in tons of pain and whatnot but that is receding, at a rate which amazes me. As I was driving a company car, and as they have a point system which this accident puts me over, I have been separated from my employment, as they euphemistically put it. I'm hoping I use the time off healing to find a job in computers, which I've been wanting but think...

A Grub problem

Posted 04-13-2020 at 05:03 AM by malghwell

Tags grub, linux

By mistake, I deleted some of the snapshot which I recovered the /etc before I reboot. When I rebooted it comes to Grub screen and stopped there. The /boot directory is deleted but still there is another snapshot which contains the /boot. I could see the other boot directory but I don't know the Grub commands to boot from it. Once I boot I will recover back by copying it to the /boot but now I need to login. Any help?
