[ABQLUG] ABQ Meetup tonight at 6 pm (07/30/2019)
by ABQLUG 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Fellow NMGLUGers, I'm going to host the next ABQLUG meetup tonight at 6:00 pm. It will be at Ideas & Coffee again. For more detailed information on how to attend, visit: https://www.abqlug.com/attendee/ Since I will be on vacation during the beginning of August, ABQLUG will not be meeting during all of August. Unless, anyone wants to volunteer to be a host. Which I am totally open to. The succeeding meetup will be on September 3rd. I have no official topic for this meeting. I would like to have fun. So if anyone has any ideas to some games, I'm all ears. I hope to see you there! Jared

[ABQLUG] Next ABQLUG meetup is going to be a week early (one-time)
by ABQLUG 26 Jul '19

26 Jul '19

Hi NMGLUGers, The next ABQLUG meetup was /originally/ scheduled towards the beginning of August. However, that will conflict with an up coming vacation I have planned... So I am going to host the monthly ABQLUG meetup a week early. There will be no ABQLUG meetup in August 2019 as a result. The subsequent meetup will be on September 3rd 2019. New meetup date (one-time): July 30th, 2019 at 6:00 pm, this will be at Ideas & Coffee again. Here is the page for more attendee information. https://www.abqlug.com/attendee/ Topics: None are currently planned. I think for the most part this will be a very unstructured meetup. Maybe consider this one -- a /mixer/. If anyone wants to give a presentation, you're more than welcome to do so! Also, I am more than happy to help anyone fix their Linux /issues/. So if you have any please feel free to take advantage of this. Hope to see ya'll there! ~ Jared

Hi Brian, If you are able to get to a x session (GUI) I would adjust grub with grub-customizer. You can do this from command line, however, it would mean adjusting /etc/grub.d files. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt install grub-customizer ; grub-customizer https://www.fosslinux.com/4300/how-to-edit-grub-bootloader-and-remove-unwan… However, I would probably would just tell grub to not display the menu. As long as you're going to manually enter the GRUB_DEFAULT option in /etc/default/grub I also forgot to tell you to run update-grub after you edit /etc/default/grub So this is what you should do. sudo cp -p -v /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak sudo nano /etc/default/grub (Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-48 generic" ) (Make sure you include the double quotes, "") (Also add this any where in the same file, just make sure it has it's own line to itself, GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true ) (Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X to save and exit) sudo update-grub sudo systemctl reboot That should force that particular kernel to load on it's own, without a grub menu at boot time.

Crash reports
by Ted Pomeroy 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

NMGLugers, meeting tonight. I have a couple crash reports to parse. Probably from oddball usb sticks from an old camera. Note, these sticks have unique physical and perhaps format characteristics. Found out how to delete the reports. That was the key to this episode. See you tonight. Ted P.

[ABQLUG] The August meetup is going to be a week early - July 30th (one-time)
by ABQLUG 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

Hello all NMGLUGers! TL;DR: My mother surprised me with a vacation! She decided to include me on her vacation, but that ended up being the same week as the scheduled LUG meetup here in Albuquerque. Next meetup will be on July 30th. Instead of August 2nd... I will reflect this on the website by next week. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up now. Thanks! Have a blessed weekend! Jared

[ABQLUG] June 2019 (Wine) Meetup - Postmortem Write-up
by ABQLUG 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Hello fellow NMGLUGers, Thanks to everyone that attended the latest ABQLUG meetup. I demonstrated what Wine could do in 2019. I "installed" two Windows applications with Wine, Ancestral Quest 15 and Quicken 2016. Two pieces of software that an ABQLUG member was struggling with. However, Quicken 2016 wasn't working for me, until I used CrossOver... When I demonstrated this during the meetup I went a little /too/ fast. So I am hoping that this /little/ write-up will help guide anyone that is trying to play around with Wine. I tried to describe what each command does, so it got a little lengthy... https://www.abqlug.com/past-meetups/meetup-001_wine-in-2019/ I am very sorry it took a week for me to write this up. I had to play around with a few WordPress plugins to make the code section work. Regards, Jared
