There were several updates this month. I thought it is important to say something about these updates before more of them come in this August 2019. Well first the linux kernel is now 5.2.5 Archlinux. LIbreoffice is now 6.2.5-1. Calibre is now 3.46 and counting. Calibre actually updated 4 times this month. That's hectic activity for the developers and maintainers.
Gnome-shell is now 3.32.2.
A large swat of the journal is "missing". I was on vacation. Give me a break. Oh I was on a break.
This post is really a compilation, a summary of this month's activities. So bear with me.
I finally did something about this recurrent red message in the journal.
I activated the swap directory with mkswap and swapon. It turned out I already have a swap directory when I installed Arch.
I also experienced openvpn not connecting to privatevpn. It turned out that when my lvm partitions were lost all the data were lost including the folder containing the ca certificate for the vpn service. So I sent them an email asking if I can download the server list and the ca certtificate. They replied within 24 hours with the link. I can now connect with privatevpn. Easy peasy!
I check the cable first and last. I have 6 hard drives so I have to know which one to check. I can do that with the logs too.
