Raspberry Pi4 USB SSD adapters
I have a Raspberry Pi4 and I've had trouble with some adapters for some sata ssds I've tried using with it. I have several usb3 adapters that don't support uasp. When I try using one, the speeds are slow and I get lots of errors. I looked this up online and everything I saw about it said that some usb3 ssd adapters don't support uasp and a system trying to use it will get slow speeds and lots of errors. Some of the stuff I read says how to get the manufacturer and model id numbers and put them in /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt so the system will not try using uasp with those devices. In the cmdline.txt file on my Pi4, I have the following at the front of cmdline.txt: usb-storage-quirks-152d:0578:u (152d:0578 is the manufacturer and device numbers for the device in question.) This is supposed to tell the system not to use uasp on the specified device. I tried that, and rebooted the pi, but still have the problem. The only way I got it working was to plug the second drive into a usb2 port. It's a bit slower, but works. Here it told how to identify the device and how to modify cmdline.txt to tell the system not to use uasp with the device https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=245931 The cmdline.txt file starts with usb-storage-quirks-152d:0578:u Typing lsusb identifies the device. $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 14b0:0206 StarTech.com Ltd. Vi550 S3 This one works. The drive the pi boots from is connected to it. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 152d:0578 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JMS578 SATA 6Gb/s This is the one I'm having trouble with. It does not work without lots of errors. I only got it working by putting it in a usb2 port. Is there any way to test whether or not a device supports uasp? Thanks for any help you can send my way. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: chromebook and libreoffice
ChromeOS Flex is very solid, I have it running on an old Macbook Air and I have set up Linux support so it also has access to LibreOffice and Vivaldi browser. It is now easier than ever to turn an old laptop into a Chromebook and it can be surprising how peppy they can be.

I know nothing on the subject matter so I do not know if this is accurate: --- As of my last update in January 2022, Chrome OS doesn't have a built-in Linux mode like some other operating systems such as Ubuntu or Fedora. However, Chrome OS does support Linux applications through a feature called "Linux (Beta)". To enable Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook, you can follow these steps: Click on the system tray in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Click on the gear icon to open Settings. Scroll down and click on "Advanced" to expand the menu. Look for "Developers" and click on "Developers tools" or "Linux (Beta)". Follow the prompts to enable Linux (Beta) on your device. Once enabled, you can access Linux applications through the Terminal or by installing them from the Linux app store. Keep in mind that enabling Linux (Beta) will require some system resources and may change how your device operates, so be sure to review the implications before proceeding. Additionally, the steps might vary slightly depending on the version of Chrome OS you're using, but they should be similar. --- I used the same search phrase on Google and it returned this phrase: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en Keith On 2024-05-29 22:44, Michael via PLUG-discuss wrote: yeah? but how do you enable the linux mode?

You should still be able to file a claim against their insurance. > Sue the guy and take his house. I second this; if you have a strong case you should be able to find a lawyer that's willing to work on a "no win no pay" basis, though they'll take a relatively large amount from the settlement; I employed a personal injury attorney once and the agreement was something like they took 22% if no actual lawsuit needed to be filed but if they ended up needing to file they would take 33%. You might think that's a large percentage, but 66% of something is better than 100% of nothing, and they're worth their weight in gold; all you generally have to do is send them everything you have and they turn that into money. You generally don't even need to talk to anyone else, you just direct them to your lawyer at that point. The only problem I'd imagine you might run into is first proving that you owned said equipment, and then trying to show how much it's worth. You're likely not going to get "full replacement cost" from the other person's insurance, you're going to get the current value of the equipment when it was destroyed, as if you were to have sold it on eBay for instance. I would still talk to a lawyer though. Find a couple and make an appointment; they usually have free consultations.
