Fwd: Older computer,

NMGLUGers, We have another question for tonight's meeting, what follows is part of an exchange on upgrade and encryption. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ted Pomeroy <ted.pome(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Feb 17, 2022 at 10:35 AM Subject: Re: [nmglug] Older computer, NMGLUGers & Mike, I do not encrypt as that does make it difficult for changes to a partition. You can wait for other replies, but I will venture a solution. In my case I pulled a spare hard drive out of the closet and just did a fresh install after making the swap. No data is lost, but for you getting your files back or transferred will be an issue. A non-encrypted backup to external media and fresh install would work, too. Or, flush the apt cache - look this up on the net or in 'man apt' to get an idea of how to free up space. AND, you might wait till April and get the next LTS from Ubuntu, or look at Debian 11 as an alternate. Do hope to see you tonight, we can talk about upgrade options.

NMGLUGers, I am amusing myself with an Optiplex 790, from about 2012. It's the small size, 4"x12"x14". It was rehabbed with a poor W-10 install, but I have replace that with Debian Bullseye (11). I have had a few problems with the integrated Intel graphics, It is a Core i5 with 2nd generation integrated gpu. Kernel 5.10.0-11-amd64 did not work with my 27" monitor, but reverting to 5.10.0-8-amd64 seemed to fix the problem. Now as a discard, there may be physical damage to the unit - some usb ports seem dead or iffy. I did find it odd that sometimes I get full resolution and sometimes not. I am hope to keep working on this unit as the size is good and it has a slim dvd optical drive that can be useful. We have a meeting tomorrow and I hope to be on time this week. It is noted on my calendar: 17 Feb 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm, at https://meet.jit.si/nmglug. Hope we have some interesting topics. Thank you, Ted P

Networking position at somewhat free software friendly State agency
by Sam Noble 01 Feb '22

I considered digging up SaintJames' 2006 posting that brought me back to NM, and started my tenure with the New Mexico judiciary and framing this as an update, but I've been working for the state way too long to still put in that level of effort ;-) In any event if you'd like to work in networking at an agency with a long history (though currently shrinking footprint) of GNU/Linux use and can put up with at least one curmudgeonly coworker (✋) consider applying: https://www.nmcourts.gov/careers/ https://jobselection.nmcourts.gov/JobsEditor/jobInfo?update&new_id=11746 -- sam
