Upgraded linux kernel [history] up to 5.6

I have not provided a complete history of my upgrades of the linux kernel so far. The last time I mentioned an upgrade of the linux kernel was last August 2019.


[2019-07-12 22:14] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.1.15.arch1-1 -> 5.2.arch2-1)
[2019-07-17 08:05] [ALPM] upgraded linux-firmware (20190628.70e4394-1 -> 20190712.d52556e-1)
[2019-07-17 08:06] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.2.arch2-1 -> 5.2.1.arch1-1)


In this post I mentioned the upgrade from linux 5.1 to linux 5.2. This happened in July 2019 when I was on vacation.

Then on September 2019 I upgraded linux from 5.2 to 5.3 but never mentioned it in any of my post. There's a gap in my reporting here in my blog. Sorry about that.

[2019-09-20 07:14] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.2.14.arch2-1 -> 5.3.arch1-1)
[2019-09-23 08:59] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.3.arch1-1 -> 5.3.1.arch1-1)
[2019-10-02 06:58] [ALPM] upgraded linux-firmware (20190815.07b925b-1 -> 20190923.417a9c6-1)

Later, I upgraded my system to the linux kernel 5.4.

[2019-12-03T14:07:35+0800] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.3.13.1-1 -> 5.4.1.arch1-1)
[2019-12-07T20:46:08+0800] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.4.1.arch1-1 -> 5.4.2.arch1-1)
[2019-12-07T20:46:14+0800] [ALPM] upgraded linux-firmware (20191022.2b016af-3 -> 20191118.e8a0f4c-2)

In February 2020, due to a loss of a family member, I neglected to make a blog post regarding my upgrade to linux 5.5.

[2020-02-06T07:12:22+0800] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.4.15.arch1-1 -> 5.5.2.arch1-1)
[2020-02-06T07:12:23+0800] [ALPM] upgraded linux-firmware (20191220.6871bff-1 -> 20200122.1eb2408-1)

These are the gaps in my reporting of this important component of my system. I made an April 2020 post as I upgrade to linux 5.6 here.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e     It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x  on and off to finally connect.  Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
