Dash-to-Dock Gnome Extension

Every time Gnome upgrades, it leaves its extensions out of date. Sometimes extensions work and some extensions needs to be updated too. Dash to dock extension for Gnome puts the left side dock on the bottom and gives me more flexibility on how to use Gnome. You can find the download page here. Then make sure that you unpack it in "~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/".

Or you can use this command:


to download the package. Make sure you have it unpacked in the directory above. Use the command:

$ make install

Then restart Gnome with alt+F2 type R. If you are using Wayland like me, just reboot.

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...

Pacman Has to Get Better

I finally got my printers working. I got cups (and cupsd in the /etc/rc.conf) I installed hpoj and a group of printer drivers. So to get my Arch linux to recognize there's a usb printer connected to my system I have to run a daemon (ptal-init setup) and include it in /etc/rc.conf. That finally enabled (after a reboot) my GNOME control center to acknowledge that there is indeed an HP-3900 at the end of my usb port. The real personal story behind my saga with a printer is pacman. It is now throwing 'network not reachable' everytime I start it. Every download and sync. I ran --debug and ping ip addresses and so far I will conclude that it's a really really slow ftp server. The server is so slow pacman is timing out connections. It's unusable guys. My first rolling release distro and I've decided that Arch rises and falls with the performance of their package manager. Great distro for the DIY community. But sorry I can't recommend Arch linux to my mother who jus...

Cumulative Profit North of Baseline

The comment square on the right says it all. What does it mean? It means that  the business is paying for itself. It means being able to pay its obligations.
