APC – First Impressions..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 9, 2012 by RGAugust 9, 2012

Starting to ‘explore’ the system, and it looks very different from the typical Linux system I have been used to since 1997..   The base directory structure is different, with many ‘additions’.. This is probably standard for Android, but not what I am accustomed to! I decided to format a (micro) SD card, and insert it, as this … Continue reading →

Pi – Near-Death Experience…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 15, 2012 by RGMay 15, 2012

My Raspberry Pi had been behaving itself on the ‘hardware’ side since I took possession of it, weeks ago.    After reading about limitations of USB connectivity, I obtained a reasonably-priced powered USB hub, with the intention (not surprisingly!) of connecting more things – including testing the possibility of USB sound..

Based on two excellent pieces of prior research: http://blogofterje.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/optimizing-fs-on-sd-card/     and    http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/projects-and-collaboration-general/optimizing-linux-for-flash-memory – I will be having a stimulating (!) time performing formatting … Continue reading →

SWAP on SD?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 23, 2012 by RGMarch 23, 2012

I have been having continuing problems with yum ‘hanging’ on my Dreamplug – through several different versions of Fedora, and numerous kernel updates (currently FC17 and Kernel 3.3..) The Fedora rootfs image did not include any swap, so – after some digging around – I decided to add a ./SWAP file, and activate it…     The results (so … Continue reading →
