Today is the final release of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon the version
designated as 7.10, the most stable release of Ubuntu for
October 2007.

I started the upgrade process by opening my upgrade manager and
looks like it is going to be an all night session of download.

Everybody who had the chance to preview the beta and alpha versions
are excited and praised the new features which should solidify the
improvements already included in Feisty Fawn. Ubuntu has another
winner with Gutsy Gibbon.

If this works on my computer after the install, you'll hear all about
it in the morning. Or not. The estimated download time is from
10 to 14 hours. See you tomorrow. I leave the computer on to
download the upgrade because this is important.

It did not go as planned. Somewhere down the fetching process
my upgrade stopped. I reset the download and finished it when
I got home at 7 in the evening. When I reboot, the fresh install
did not recognize my graphics card and it shows me the log in
page in the wrong resolution. Houston, we have a problem!

I decided to download an iso of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and finish
that first. Then backup all my data. Do a clean install. I should
have done it this way anyway but I was too lazy.

I have the Gutsy Gibbon in my personal computer and it looks
snazzy. It's fast. I have to put in most of my old stuff and that's
the real job here. Putting it all back. I wish there was an easier
way to go about it. I also lost some email and documents. That
was my fault. I knew I had to tinker with the hard drive so I
should have performed a backup at the latest time.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
