2009 has established open source software and Linux as alternatives to MS Windows. This will continue this year. I think this year is the year of the multi-boot computer. I predict that kids who are just learning how to use the computer are going to grow up operating system agnostics. They just wont care and just use the computer to accomplish their goal. Cool.
I first encountered the problem after a routine update / upgrade of the
system. Well there was a kernel upgrade and I have not checked how many
old kernels are still left for backups in /boot. Apparently, there was
a few and the partition is 85% full. Every software update included a
warning because of the restriction in disk space. Also, zfs could not
create snapshots. It is also full. This is not very clear to me.
Snapshots were suppose to be diff copies so why would it take up a
large space. Most of the snapshots are less than 2MB. Or 0MB.
Another problem that popped up is the constant freezing of Rhythmbox. I
don't know if the config files are corrupted. The CPU cycles from one
to the next. Peaks for 5-6 seconds then on to the next CPU. This forced
me to download Clementine and Audacious. But both applications do not
find the zfs pool or don't show the zfs structure. Why not? My final
solution is to reinstall Rhythmbox via snaps. I re-scanned the music
