An opensuse user's perspective. Last update Apr 07, 2013]. This page provides links to my various posts that discuss the use of crypto, mainly with linux. Using Luks encrypted partitions in linux.

Milestones will soon be here | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/milestones-will-soon-be-here
An opensuse user's perspective. Milestones will soon be here. In an earlier post. I mentioned a change of direction for opensuse. The rolling releases (Tumbleweed) will continue. And the stable releases will be more closely tied to suse enterprise releases. The name “Leap” has been chosen for the stable series, to suggest that it will advance by leaps rather than incrementally (as with Tumbleweed). And the first Leap version will be numbered 42.1. That the milestone will be available real soon now. Notif...

Tumbleweed — what’s the holdup | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/06/24/tumbleweed-whats-the-holdup
An opensuse user's perspective. Tumbleweed — what’s the holdup. It has been around 10 days since the last update to opensuse Tumbleweed. That would have been snapshot 20150612. This is a brief note to explain the delays. The Tumbleweed team are in the process of switching over to using gcc 5 as their compiler. This is an update from the earlier gcc 4.x. So now they want to recompile the complete opensuse distribution using gcc 5. Mathematician and computer scientist who dabbles in cognitive science.

Tools – Just Write Click. Reflecting and making: Inspiration in Ann Arbor this summer. July 30, 2016 – 1:20 pm. I’ve written up my experiences at a leadership training class for OpenStack in Ann Arbor this summer. You can read more on the OpenStack blog. We also had the opportunity to tour a maker space close to the training center, Ann Arbor’s Maker Space. For my own living room. Here are some photos from our tour of the 11,000 square foot Ann Arbor Maker Space. December 17, 2015 – 9:19 am. A fork is bo...

Linux rescues | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/linux-rescues
An opensuse user's perspective. It’s been several years since I last described a linux rescue in my earlier post “ Rescuing Susie. 8220; And, by now, that’s a little outdated. In today’s post, I’ll go over the basic principles of rescuing a linux system. I’ll be describing what works with opensuse. But I have also used this method with Ubuntu and with Debian. What is most important about the system you use for rescue, is that it use the same architecture. If you are repairing a 64-bit system, then yo...

Opensuse Leap 42.1 Milestone 1 is available | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/opensuse-leap-42-1-milestone-1-is-available
An opensuse user's perspective. Opensuse Leap 42.1 Milestone 1 is available. I saw the announcement this morning. OpenSUSE releases first milestone for Leap. So naturally, I began my download of the iso. Currently there are only a DVD installer and a NET installer available. This might change for later milestones. Note, also, that this is 64-bit only. There is no 32-bit version, and that probably won’t change. Next to software selection. Again, this looked familiar. However, it was a bit lean....I did...

Leap 42.1 after one week | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/leap-42-1-after-one-week
An opensuse user's perspective. Leap 42.1 after one week. In my previous post. I described my experience in downloading and installing opensuse Leap 42.1 Milestone 1. That was a week ago. I’ve booted Leap every day since then. So it’s time to add to my previous report. Overall, Leap 42.1 appears to run well. I have seen relatively few bug reports, and not too many problems mentioned on the forum. I take that as a good sign. My next attempt was to switch to “gdm”, as that is the recommended lo...Gnome, it...

Rescuing Susie | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/rescuing-susie
An opensuse user's perspective. The title is a play on words. I had to go into rescue mode after a bad install of opensuse 12.1 rc1 (the first release candidate). This post reports how I got the system going. I’ll start by describing what happened. And, incidentally, I was not at all surprised that I ran into problems – I was expecting them. Unfortunately, the desktop kernel would not load. The system would hang during kernel loading. I had to boot from the default kernel if I wanted it to work. As expec...

Tumbleweed install for July | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/tumbleweed-install-for-july
An opensuse user's perspective. Tumbleweed install for July. After a hiatus due to updating to gcc5, a Tumbleweed snapshot (20150630) was released yesterday. And it was nicely timed for my monthly test install. This may be my shortest install post. Mathematician and computer scientist who dabbles in cognitive science. View all posts by Neil Rickert ».

Directions for opensuse | Thoughts on computing
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/directions-for-opensuse
An opensuse user's perspective. Today hinted at the future direction of opensuse. There’s a tentative release date of around November 2. The planned release is code-named “42”, though that is unlikely to be the final name. One suggestion has been “opensuse Oak” to suggest something more stable than “opensuse Tumbleweed”. There has been extensive discussion on mailing lists. I have not attempted to read all of the related mails, and I don’t automatically receive any of them. Laquo; Previous post. You are ...
