Makulu
Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2015 1:15 am
Kris (Cleve) sent me another care package.
Enclosed was a Makulu Cinnamon Debian 2.0. DVD
I loaded it live to RAM several hours ago and am somewhat impressed.
So far I have run some small windows exe files. Everything worked out of box except Gpsview. Ran WinFast Navigator, GPSinfo and a couple more.
Then I went to the old xinput-calibrate site freedesktop.org, clicked the .deb link then installed with a single click (I think) from the download directory using gdebi. Used xinput_calibrator > /usr/share/X11/xorgconf.d/99-calibration.conf. The other one (xinput_calibrator --output-type xorg.conf.d --output-filename /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf) gave me an error code of output-filename command not recognized.
Am I using an older copy of xinput-calibrator? the "man" file does not mention output-filename.
BTW this is on a CF-53 with 8 GB of ram. Half of the ram is tied up with cache and os.
720MB ram used. (idling along)
buffers 305MB
cached 2707 MB (the program in ram)
free 4248 MB +-
372 processes at the moment.
The point: their are other boot options if you don't have the ram.
It looks like I can save this session as is with "snapshot-live-cd" Looking forward to that. (Does USB too)
So I like the shark, cinnamon, wine out of the box, chrome out of the box and the way it runs with no updates. That's for when I install on a hdd. They have a "loaded" DVD. Can't wait.
Closing the lid and going to bed. We'll see if it is still live in the a.m.
Thanks Kris,
J
