So I'm retiring my old server, a HP DL380 G4 with Windows Server 2012, at my home.

I bought a used dell poweredge R330 w/ xeon 1270 v5 and 16GB of ECC ram for dirt cheap since the casing was damaged on the back but does not impact the server at all.  It only has 4x 3.5 sas hotswap bays on the front.  No big deal.  Very quiet 1u server, a rarity.

I updated all bios and firmware for ALL hardware, including the power supplies firmware.

It does have one internal usb port though and instead of wasting the 4x 6TB SAS3 drives I have, why not throw the OS onto a 64GB USB stick I have laying around.

Any advice on installing the OS onto the USB stick?  Things I should do or not do?

Hello All

I use Orage calendar and Thunderbird Add on lightning and I got it work well together using one ICs calendar file

If somebody need help for that let me know

Greetings

I have had the below message after updates failed. It suggests I post here.


I am currently on 3.6 but considering moving to 5 but not sure if I have to move through the different versions one by one. I am concerned that I may lose all my opera bookmark settings in the order they are displayed if I change?


Many thanks in advance for any help given

No fix from MS yet, error message is:

With recent updates and upgrades, firefox has become a bloatware altogether and is perhaps loading very slowly taking much more time to load webpages, showing "performing tls handshake..." message. I got rid of this trouble by changing the TLS version max value from 4 to 3 in "about:config" page of firefox and restarting it. Now, the cumbersome tls handshake message disappeared and firefox is much faster than before! Hope this would help any!!

Hi everyone! hope you're all having a nice life and a wondeful-healthy 2020!

I was wondering, when does support for LL 3.8 end? Xenial EOL is on April 2021, however, according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases extended support is up to 2024, so ... 2021 or 2024?

hopefully i have this in the right spot,

i am on mewe (facebook alternative)  right now,  read this post in one of the forums i'm in , a computer type group, and thinking this link might be of some interest,
it does not say much, but makes me wonder, currently i have not used any antivirus protection.

what are your thoughts ?, anyone ?.
i know this subject comes up from time to time.

I did a stupid move. I downloaded CPUFREQ and open it up. My Quad core was set to 1.6 Ghz but is rated at 3.4 Ghz and shows this as a select-able option. I changed to the faster freq and now the computer will not boot to the OS. Grub screen is there but there is no RESTORE option to go to the backup HDD.
I can mount the primary OS HDD in an external reader. Is there any commands with steps on how to do it, to remove this CPUFREQ software from my HDD on the external dive?
Please help if you can.
Thank you.

I'm running LL 3.8 (I need to use an older version due to display issues). I love the xfce4 weather app, but when I go the Details tab, I get this:


Met.no LocationforecastLTS API states that this version
of the webservice is deprecated, and the plugin needs to be
adapted to use a newer version, or it will stop working within
a few months.
Please file a bug on https://bugzilla.xfce.org if no one
else has done so yet.

I have tried downloading and installing newer versions, but can't get them up and running. I'm not very good with tarballs. I installed UXterm in the hopes that it would be able to open the extracted file and install it, but nothing happens.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
I have Linux Lite 4.8 on an HP Compaq Pro 6000. I tried to put Windows 8.1 on USB via means of WOEUSB. Everything worked properly, however upon booting up the usb, all I saw was a flashing l like icon. What does that mean and how can I fix it?
