This is a quick post to list the latest events.
1. Mageia 6.1 was released six days ago (Oct 6). I was sick and busy and, because of that, I missed the announcement. I do not need to install it on my computers, but I will download it to install it on my daughter's machine and fix the problem with the MCC.
2. Google+ is being killed (Oct 9). That marks the end of my 3-year experiment with this social network. Wow, excluding Blogger, that was the only social network in which I have been active for more than a year... I tried Tagged, Hi5, Facebook (before it became so popular here), and YouTube. Right now, I have been looking for a replacement and tried MeWe and Pluspora... MeWe is too Facebooky for my taste. Pluspora feels like a merge between Facebook and Twitter with limitations and a really geeky flavor. I guess I will continue my test drive in Pluspora for a while.
3. Microsoft and the patents (Oct 10). Megatotoro shared this article with me. I was confused. Either Microsoft is changing its position or it is a masked move that, in reality, does not help Linux at all. Which one will be, I wonder?
4. My Fedora acted weird (Oct 11). As I was attempting to update Fedora, some WINE-related packages were not found because the repos were absent. I updated without them and the screen locker got broken. I had encountered that before in OpenMandriva, so I switced to a virtual terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2, logged in with my user and password, and then executed loginctl unlock-session 5. Then I switched back to the running session with Ctrl+Alt+F1.
5. The Forest on Steam via WINE ate up my home space (Oct 12).
I was playing this Windows game on Fedora using the Windows Steam client via WINE. It works fine, but then the system told me that I was running low on space. I checked with Dolphin and I had only 340Mb free! After a while, this number went down to 467Kb. When I finished the game, I rebooted and my free space came back.
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx ROME 5.0, Mageia 9, MX 19, Manjaro 23.1, and Elive 3.

Well, this has been quite a week! I'm learning a new trick, by the way. Let's see how it goes.
ResponderEliminarToday was a busy install day... At least things went well for you. I only achieved moderate success.
