How to auto start x11vnc on LXQt or LXDE (including Raspbian)
LXQt is the desktop environment of the current edition of Lubuntu. Previous editions of Lubuntu used LXDE as the desktop environment. My personal preference is to use LXQt on Debian instead of XFCE on Debian, due to XFCE development being too slow (the same reason I switched most of my more powerful computers to KDE).…

Scanning with Linux [2]: Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner on Debian
Last time I wrote about scanning I had done the installation on mainpc. So having a new post is because of reinstalling on mediapc and a few hiccups. The main thing I am writing about is Epson now gives you the wrong download package for the Perfection V200 Photo scanner for Linux. If you search…

Life with KDE [6]: Clean install serverpc/mediapc
As I was writing in my last post, I am working hard to reinstall both mediapc and serverpc from scratch. In both cases I was hoping to resolve hibernation problems. Both computers now have new Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H boards in them so the outcomes should be identical. However on resuming serverpc which has just been reinstalled…

Computing resources optimisation [2G]: Reinstall serverpc and mediapc
As we know when I upgraded everything last month I just put the disks back in with the new boards and just booted everything up and they just ran. I didn’t reinstall either of the two new ones that I currently have running, serverpc and mediapc. However as neither of these computers is able to…

Firefox Multi Account Containers and Equivalents
Since these days I now use Firefox as my main browser (partly to give the finger to Google for the data thieving Chrome browser), I need to have a look at how to access all my Gmail accounts in the same browser without having to log in and out of whichever account I am using…

Computing resources optimisation [2D]
I am going ahead with this so I have been busy over the last few days installing and removing things around the place. To date I have installed the old mediapc chassis with a new board, CPU and RAM, GA-B250M-D3H with Kaby Lake Pentium G4560, and moving all three disks across from serverpc. It was…

Linux video driver issues
One of the challenges with Linux is that bug fixes can be slow to be developed and there can be issues when libraries are updated in a component of a distro in a different time cycle from other parts and therefore break software. For example, in Qgis there is a version of it that depends…

Computing Resources Optimisation [2C]
Still looking at this, really just fine tuning expectations / specs. Last time I talked about task separation. Running stuff on mediapc is still a test case really. What has turned out to be important however is limitations on mediapc caused by it having an old CPU that is slow to decode some video formats.…

Scanning with Linux
As we all know, I have gradually moved lots of things I do from Windows to Linux over time, but still have a computer running the Home edition of Windows 10. One of the few things that still runs on Windows 10 is my Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner. Well it did work well on…

Computing resources optimisation [2B]
Last time I wrote a post in this series it was looking at upgrading some of the hardware that I have. This time it is looking at task separation, or in another way, using mediapc to do some stuff like I have looked at previously. This keeps coming up because I have four computers and…
