So I upgraded my Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04. That mostly went without problem but there are still a few gremlins to iron out. One change was some of the desktop widgets I was using in the previous version seem to have been replaced. I found the replacements easily enough. I particularly like the new CPU activity widget, it’s a much more sensible way to visualise 24 CPU cores than the previous widget which just gave one reading instead of 24.
A little nostalgia: The UNIX Time-Sharing System.
Well I’m happy to learn that Firefox 105.0.1 restores focus behavior on startup. That’s been driving me mad!
I’m upgrading my Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04 and having a problem because the python-subversion package has been removed. I have asked a question about this over here, so hopefully I can get a resolution.
There’s some good info about common config options over here: Where Is php.ini, the PHP Configuration File?
The phpinfo() function will tell you which php.ini file applies.
Install instructions are here: Salt Stack on Ubuntu.
So I read this and this and solved my problem. Basically I bind /temp/download to /media/$USER/download and then I can set the download directory in Chromium and Firefox snaps to /media/$USER/download and my downloads go where I want them. This was actually harder to figure out than it should have been.
Note to self: I had a problem with the GUI on my Kubuntu VM not working under VirtualBox on a Kubutnu host. I fixed the problem by changing the Graphics Controller on the VM from VBoxSVGA to VMSVGA. I have no idea what the difference is, except that the latter works and the former doesn’t!
I’m gonna follow these instructions to replace a disk in one of my ZFS arrays on my workstation ‘trick’. Have ordered myself a new 6TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive for $179. I hope nobody minds if I make a few notes for myself here…
