This is the first time I'll be using a new app for posting to blogger. The UI is nice enough to merit my efforts at learning to use it. I could use something like this. posted from Bloggeroid

First of all, the error message did not accurately tell the problem. I am sure that whenever I try to update my local machine is unable to download  information from the repository. Is it a bad internet connection? Is it a bad server? I tried to switch to a better or as the applications says best server. I opened the Software & Updates application and switched to "the best server". Reload the cache from the new server. I try to update and it worked well. -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1604 mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog . Consider using my PGP keys for privacy.

I am getting some weird bugs. I use Ubuntu 16.04 and this is suppose to be as stable as they come because it carries an "long term support" designation. Traditionally, they don't introduce new features for lts releases. I can't update packages and I can't upgrade packages. So normally I would just open a terminal and use the command line. Guess what, apt-get is also giving me errors.  I hope this is temporary and the fix is well on its way because a bug in the  package manager is not something most linux users can get away from.  -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1604 mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook .

Hi Reese From : It took me 6-8 hours to finish the upgrade. It's a very slow connection today, of all  days. Xenial is looking sharp and beautiful. I did not encounter any problems with the upgrade. I'm downloading the image through the torrents. I figure I should help out with the others who are downloading a fresh ubuntu. -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1604 mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog .

Hi Reese I followed some tutorials for creating RAID and filesystem then mounting the RAID disks to an existing installation of linux. I checked the configuration files for mdadm and fstab. I found nothing or so I thought. I printed out results for fdisk and raid scan. It turns out I had copied the wrong UUID for the RAID in my fstab file. Didn't know that you can create a RAID level 5 with just two disks though. Of course for practical purposes it's not RAID 5 but a RAID 1, two disks mirroring each other because the parity are on two disks. I'm adding another disk further on - maybe a spare disk later after that. -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1404lts mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog .

Hi Reese My project took me from using Fedora 23 to being unable to boot  my PC to reinstalling the operating system to finally using  Ubuntu 14.04 like a lifeboat.  I was working on converting an old RAID 0 set up to a more  robust RAID 5. RAID 5 will give me a chance to swap a replacement hard drive for a failing one without, I had hoped, losing uptime and data. After booting on a live cd to prepare the devices and create the RAID, I tried to boot Fedora. No go. It kept shoving me to "rescue mode". Uh-oh. I checked the RAID and it's clean and  active. There's nothing wrong with the RAID or the conversion . I checked the configuration files for mdadm and fstab. I don't see anything odd. This is when I spent a lot of time googling. None of the fixes I read worked.   -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1404lts mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog . Consider using my PGP keys ...

 Hi Reese The renovations of the bathroom and the kitchen continues through the holy week. M Roger is making sure the wall plaster is smooth. He finished putting the black marble tiles on the tabletop. He's going to put the doors to the bathroom tomorrow. It's Easter, no work. Oh by the way, it's my  birthday too, I think.  I woke up with the Salubong passing the house. I could hear the band  playing a march. The siren is wailing. When I got downstairs mom is washing clothes and Imee is preparing pasta for the spaghetti.  I've been tinkering with my phone's lock screen security. There was a point when I couldn't open the screen anymore. I had to ask for help with a 'forgotten password' issue. They asked for my google authentication credentials then google sends me a code through sms. My sms app is locked too. I can't get to the code.  The smartphone is a remarkable technology. What if a machine can handle millions  of calculations per second and stor...
