Since I'm always the first to get upset at crappy customer service, I'd like to send a shoutout to #logitech for working with me to enable my MX Keys keyboard so that it works in my dual boot situation. I love the keyboard but basically gave up on it since I couldn't use it to dual boot. It wouldn't detect bluetooth until boot, so I had to use 2 keyboards to navigate the situation. All working now! So thanks to logitech support for sticking with me until the issue was solved.
Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. #linuxmint, #firefox, #emacs, all working like a charm. Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with #orgmode and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with #syncthing. Just about perfect!
@holgerschurig Thanks for that. A PET2001? We're not talking Commodore PET, are we? Wow. I'm a Commodore Basic guy from the 64 days. And yes, very small steps do add up!
@jake4480 Got an error saying it couldn't connect. Evidently a known issue, so maybe related to google's authentication lately. Not worth the effort, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else had found a solution. All of my historical documents are on my Windows partition and then backed up to GDrive. So I downloaded the file I needed to my Linux Mint Downloads directory. Works for today!
I'm finding some really interesting blogs out there, and am reminded of the early days of the internet, when it wasn't all monetized and people just wrote about stuff they were interested in for fun. And I had an RSS feeder and got updates when people posted stuff. Plus blogrolls.
So I'm sure there's a way to do this now in #emacs, right? Can someone point me in the right direction? I've heard about elfeed but don't know anything about it.
Looking forward to setting up my used #thinkpad with #linuxmint next week. Looking for recos for easy syncing, mainly for my #emacs and #orgmode stuff. What have you used that you could recommend? I do have GDrive working well on my Windows machines, so could go that route,, though not familiar with how to do that on linux. Thanks!
@TheSecondVariation@publicvoit If you're asking me, I'm trying to figure out how to sync my stuff across multiple devices: Windows, LinuxMint, iPhone, iPad..... so that I can do #emacs and #orgmode on all of them.
@publicvoit@tivasyk I'm getting my used Thinkpad tomorrow. First I'll put linux and emacs on it. Then I'll start to work on putting SyncThing on that and my desktop. Hoping for the best! Thanks for the discussion and suggestions.
Looking for some solid recos for how to use #gparted on #linuxmint on a dual boot machine (Win and LM). I want to expand the linux space but really don't want to screw up the drive(s). Can anyone steer me towards some clear instructions -- video or whatever. I've googled but don't want to just try anything. TIA.
@mforester I have 2 drives. Windows is on C:, and I put Linux on S: (second). There's lots of space left on S, so I want to expand the space allotted to Linux. Does that make sense? But have no idea how. Thanks.
@mforester Hey, thanks! I can boot into Windows, but I saw some video where they said that expanding hard drive space for another OS can't be done with Windows tooks and requiresl gparted. Do you know anything about that?
