[FiftyOneFifty apologizes to the TrueOS devs.  Lack of Steam support really had nothing to do with the changes to TrueOS.  He sees now he should have waited until he did more research before criticising the distro]

  • From the “You ain’t gonna believe this one department” (rant level 5 warning).  In our last ep, I was trying to triple boot my new system to Windows, Fedora, and TrueOS.  TrueOS (fork of FreeBSD) because they had been claiming Windows versions of Steam games would play as fast or faster on FOSS as they would in Windows thanks to PlayOnBSD.  BSD doesn’t use GRUB and I have UEFI active so even though the install was successful, TrueOS didn’t show up in the bootloader.  netminer actually read the Wiki better than I did and directed me to where it said I’d need a third party bootloader to make BSD play with EFI.  They recommend reFind. http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html  Besides .deb and .rpm files to install reFind easily, there are also thumb drive and CD images so you can “try before you” buy.  BTW, apparently there are more than one “run anything from UEFI” bootloader options, more on that next show.

 

  • OK, so I spend the evening beating on my new Fedora install because my USB stick is not automounting.  Unetbootin gives me a permissions error and a different one after I install RPMFusion https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration  dd’ing the image seems to work, but no luck starting from the thumb drive.  Eventually, I give up and unpack the CD ISO and burn a CD.  I can hit that using the hardware boot menu, but it seems to jump right to Windows (gave me the opportunity to bring Windows up to date after several weeks).  Put CD-ROM before the hard disks in the boot order, then I had the chance to pick my OS, including TrueOS.

 

  • OK, so now I’m into my TrueOS environment for the first time since install, but it’s in the command line.  I’m thinking, OK, there are a number of conservative Linux’s that have you log into CLI, then run startx.  Probably easily solved with a few config file tweeks once I Google how to get the GUI up.  I got on another PC and Googled TrueOS and GUI and found THIS:  https://itsfoss.com/trueos-plan-change/
  • [Note: Apologies to the TrueOS devs, you will learn below the abandonment of suport for Windows Steam games was the fault of PlayOnLinux not updating to Python 3] This was a truly “Why is it getting dark in here and why can’t I feel half my face?” moment.   HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU GO FROM “WE’RE GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD YOU CAN RUN WINDOWS GAMES BETTER IN A FOSS OS”  TO “GRAPHICAL INTERFACE?  WE DON’T DO THAT ANYMORE” IN LESS THAN A YEAR?  Seriously, the way I understand it, graphical desktops are not  even in the “repos” (or whatever the BSD equivalent is, right now I couldn’t give a turkey).  The TRIAL/installer image was quite graphical.   There is a further fork, www.project-trident.org , that is supposed to be TrueOS with the GUI.  From the download page : “TrueOS and FreeBSD recently changed their bootloader to a new tool written in Lua rather than the traditional bootloader written in Forth. If you experience issues with booting the ISO or the installed system, please file a bug ticket with the FreeBSD project.”  Sorry, if I wanted system breaking updates, I’D RUN WINDOWS ONLY.  Four out of Five hackers recommend anything but Trident for their clients who run games.

 

  • I can erase the partitions TrueOS  created easily enough.  I guess I am now in search of a BSD with enthusiasm for PlayOnBSD [FiftyOneFifty won’t, unless he can find a Python 2 diehard BSD].

 

  • From the “TrueOS Community” Telgram chat:

@all / @channel : The TrueOS “desktop” edition has been discontinued and TrueOS is now a distribution platform (with it’s own server-focused release images as well).

 

  • Project Trident – Community Chat
  • Project Trident Community Channel

 

  • Plot thickens, FiftyOneFifty contacted Rodney Myers (author of the above post).  He was able to tell be PlayOnBSD was stuck in Python 2 (likely all BSDs have moved on) and gave me the handles of a couple Trident devs in the chat who could tell me why TrueOS dropped the deskop alltogether.

 

  • JT (q5sys) “TrueOS decided to focus completely on the base OS, as an attempt to help advance FreeBSD by being a testing bed for future changes.  An example of this would be TrueOS’s implementation of OpenRC and AutoFS enabled by default.”

—-And also from FiftyOneFifty

  • From +DoorToDoorGeek.  Finally, “The promise I was kingdomed”  Pine has announced a PineBook Pro, Rockchip based, metal case, 4Gb RAM portable.  At $199, you could argue you could get a faster Intel on the secondary market, but no way it’s this slim.  Also, a Rockchip upgrade for the 14″ PineBook, phone kits, gaming enclosures, a tablet with specs similar to the original Pinebook, a camera, more.  https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7093

I left the solution to this on Reddit.  It was not a Slackware only issue as I first thought, but that there were no inodes left in root.

1. Episode 29.5 of the Urandom Podcast is up.  Recorded from the eighth floor of the impressive Hyatt Regency in the Columbus Convention Center, this exclusive Ohio Linux Fest episode includes +Thaj Sara and +Lyle McKarns from Urandom, +Kevin O’Brien from Hacker Public Radio, +Tony Bemus from the Sunday Morning Linux Review, and yours truly.  Enjoy.
2. With Google Plus going away (OK, we have at least a year), I took the liberty of creating a MeWe page for the podcast https://mewe.com/group/5bc77fc4a5f4e501fd9a2bbd .  I’m going to look at setting up a Discord, a Mattermost, maybe even a Diaspora on my cloud space.  These will all be test instances for now, I don’t want to split the fanbase (meaning, I don’t want to look five places for messages before each show :), but we can spend a few months kicking the tires on these things.

FiftyOneFifty:  Update on the Mi MiniPC.  Apparently the design change made during the funding campaign to go with a faster Intel proc necessitated a slightly larger case and active cooling.  This also includes a larger 6″ touch screen and a delay on shipments to at least November, if the developers are to be believed at all.  As a crowd funder, the changes are not a deal breaker to me, but it means I won’t be bringing it to OLF.  https://liliputing.com/2018/09/mi-mini-pc-delayed-redesigned-crowdfunding.html

Kwisher:
Looking for a battery pack/UPS for Raspberry Pi. Unit needs to supply continuous power when main power is lost. Any suggestions?

TIA

    • Forgot to mention that these units need to be small enough to be fastened behind large LCD displays as the Pi’s are serving digital signage.

Consensus is RavPower since they can output while plugged in.  https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OQ19QYA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  I’ve also used this addon board https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JLEO9UC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but the battery doesn’t have nearly the capacity.

Hi Honkey,

I’m *way* behind with my podcast listening and have just got to episode
106 of LinuxLUGcast. You were asking about xdotool. There have been
several HPR shows about it, so I thought you might find the references
useful.

Lots to discuss:
Could the new Code of Conduct for Linux Kernel development trigger a “kill switch” of developers withdrawing their code?  Eric S. Ramond says “The threat has teeth” https://lulz.com/linux-devs-threaten-killswitch-coc-controversy-1252/
Might mainboard manufacturer SuperMicro have been pressured by the Chinese governent into adding “Spyware” chips to their boards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQIWk1XnVcU&feature=em-uploademail
Will Google be facing the same anti-trust penalties relevent to Android in the U.S. as they did in the EU after all?

A couple friends and I have been talking about a soft-reboot of Oggcast Planet Live.  By soft-reboot, rather than creating a separate event, we would create a concensus on an existing con and try to get as many Linux podcasts in one place at one time as possible.  If that works out, we’ll see going forward if there is interest in an event for just us.  I’d like feedback on my personal e-mail if there is any interest.
