Computer work -as I find the time

Nov 29, 2011 00:36

I managed to get my main system upgraded to Baselayout-2. It was painless. I got the xorg.conf file to display 1920 x 1200. The prior resolution was 1600 x 1200, fair distortion.

Still to do, figure out why my root partition is invalid when booting 3.0.6 kernel (xfs root partition). Now that I am using upower, what disc burning software will let me burn a *.iso? I have two IDE burners that both read well, but the won't blast. I also want to watch movies on this system. Movies used to work, in the way back years. Not working now.

Next, I need to repair a failed Baselayout-2 conversion. Very unhappy. That system it would be lovely to be running a Windoze app alongside some linux applications. It has multiple cores...

Need to do a reinstall on a system with a failed partition. It won't boot from a thumb drive, and I don't have a system that will blast an ISO right now. Frustrating.

Lots of things to do, findinf energy to do it is rare. The honey-do list does not include computers. That list is longer, and pays better.
