En stille hjemmeside

Farvel til Netrunner for denne gang – Hej Xubuntu

For noget tid siden crashede min bruger på min private PC – og i dag skete det så, at den anden bruger på pc’en også gik i stykker.

Mistænker det er Spotify der ikke har kunnet med Netrunner.

Har derfor valgt at slette hele min pc og installerer Xubuntu – Se mere her.

Eneste minus er at jeg ikke fik taget en backup af mine data, så jeg må lægge ind fra sidste backup – håber ikke jeg har mistet noget vigtigt.

 

Opgardering

Har opgraderet mit styresystem fra Netrunner 15 til Netrunner 16 Ozymandias.

Netrunner havde lagt et script ud på deres hjemmeside, som jeg bare kørte.

Havde selvfølgelig taget en backup af de vigtige ting først…

Alt gik godt, og ser ud til at virke. Har dog ikke brugt min laptop så meget siden. Eneste lille ting jeg et stødt på er kørslen af NemId i Firefox – dette virker ikke, men det virker fint i Chrome.

 

Netrunner 15 and Prey

I like to keep secure, and therefore I have Prey on my phone.

Previously I also used it on my PCs with success.

Therefore I wanted it on my Netrunner 15-machine also.

But that did not end well.

From the homepage of Prey, I downloaded and installed.

In the process, something went wrong.

And suddenly I had a new user called Prey, and It had my Root-access.

So I could not install ore change on my PC.

This was especially frustrating, since I did not nave the password to Prey because of the failed installation.

So I had big problems.

In the end, I decided to reinstall my whole system.

Netrunner 15 – Encrypted mail

I read an article about encrypted mail, written by The GNU-foundation. Explaining, how a mail is an open postcard, but if you encrypt it, it is like sending snail mail in an envelope.

They talked about using something called GnuPG – more here.

So I wanted to try it out.

What you do to install it is open your mail – in my case Mozilla Thunderbird-mail program.

You must find your add-ons and search for something called Enigmail.

You install it, and reboot, and then follow the directions.

So in theory, I now got encrypted mail.

Wonder how to check it?

Netrunner 15 – Garmin og Linux

Got a Garmin Forerunner 110 watch I use when running.

After I started to use Linux instead of Windows, I have had a problem with updating the software in the watch. And I could not make the watch to auto-download my training.

The Firefox plug-in is no longer working, and I have found no other way to update software and auto-download my training.

But now, due to my dealings with VM Virtual Box and running Windows inside my Linux system, I had made it happen.

I can now use the Garmin Forerunner with Linux.

How to do it – First follow my tutorial of how to run Windows on a Linux PC. More here.

The follow my tutorial of how to enable USB connection in VM Virtual Box. More here.

And that is pretty much that. From here you just do what you would do on a normal Windows PC, and log in to Garmin Connect and then download some software.

Netrunner 15 – How to use USB in VM VirtualBox

Having installed Windows7 on a virtual machine in the program VM VirtualBox, I ended up with some files on my Windows7 machine that I wanted to put on a USB drive.

But my Virtual machine did not have connection to the USB drive I plugged into my host-machine.

I did a lot of searching on the web and found out that I was missing an extension pack to VirtualBox.

I was running VirtualBox 4.3.18. and found Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack 4.3.26. here.

I followed the guide on Virtualbox.org, but still could not make the USB connect to Windows.

I posted my problem on forums.virtualbox.org, and found out that I was to run the following in the terminal in Netrunner15;

sudo usermod -aG vboxusers <your username>

I did that, and made a reboot of my PC. And then it worked. Very nice. I now have my files on my USB-drive.

Netrunner 15 – How to install Tor Browser

Had some problems with installing the Tor Browser for anonymous browsing.

So my advice is in this case not to use the Muon installer, but do the following.

Open the program menu in the left bottom side of the screen. Choose System and open the Terminal called Konsole.

Here you first copy the following text and right click on the white square and select Paste.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser

Then you pres enter. You are ask for your password and ad one time you must  press Enter.

When the Terminal is done running, you Copy/Paste

sudo apt-get update

And presses Enter and wait a little.

The Copy/Paste

sudo apt-get install tor-browser

and press Enter.

And that is that – you now has the Tor Browser in the program menu.

See under Internet.

If you want to remove just Copy/Paste

sudo apt-get remove tor-browser

Netrunner 15 – How to watch Netflix

Open your browser and search for Google Chrome. Chose the official homepage.

Choose Download for Personal Computers.

You will here see a blue button called Download Chrome (For Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/OpenSUSE).

Click on the button.

Then choose either 32 or 64 bit depending of the type of your PC. Most never PC’s are running 64 bit.

The Netrunner 15 is build on a base of Ubuntu, so I choose;

64 bit.deb for Debian/Ubuntu

The press on the button Accept and install and just follow the instructions.

Now the Browser is in the Program Menu under Internet.

Open the browser and go to Netlix, and you are up and running.

Netrunner 15 – How to install Spotify

And right click on the little white square and choose Paste.

Press Enter, and give your password.

The Copy/Paste

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client

and press Enter.

Now Spotify should be in your Programm Menu under Multimedia.
