Re: [PLUG] Knoppix live cd
Have done that. The issue is not of batteries but when electricity goes down, the system should still be running. I even added couple of lead-acid batteries just in case the system was not able to cope or something but still the issue remains :( On 29/08/2023, Arun Khan via plug-mail wrote: > On Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 5:13 AM shirish शिरीष via plug-mail < > plug-mail@plug.org.in> wrote: > >> Sorry took me time but was finally able to blog about it. >> >> https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2023/08/28/fscking-home/ >> >> Feedback, brickbats all welcome :) >> > > UPS batteries have a life after which you need to replace them; typically > after about 3 years. > You are expecting a 6-7 year-old UPS (assuming you did not replace the > battery) to give backup power? > > -- > Arun Khan > -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail

Re: [PLUG] Knoppix live cd
Well, What you needed is some bootable system that can do fsck on your uncountable file system. I offered Ubuntu that can do that job. If you want to compare various bootable distros, that's a different discussion. Please decide your priority... Whether to make your system workable or compare distros Regards Sudhanwa On Sat, Aug 12, 2023, 10:43 PM shirish शिरीष wrote: > Am on mobile so will be brief.

Re: [PLUG] Knoppix live cd
Am on mobile so will be brief. Not trying to incite a religious war or anything. Knoppix was launched & took the web by storm in 2002. Klaus Knopper was the first guy to think & launch a live cd. He used a combo of hwsetup (from Redhat), a whole bunch of stuff from Debian. There's actually an interview of him in May 2002. Ubuntu meanwhile for all their resources launched in/around mid 2005. I remember both as both also came in lfy couple months later. IIRC lfy had also shared distrowatch interview. So Klaus Knopper took stuff from rh, Debian & later even bsd (security tools). The above mentioned hwsetup is still used while installing Debian. That alone should tell you. Btw one way or another Debian did get influenced & started carrying the same tools. Ubuntu on the other hand, has deviated a lot. How good or bad I leave to other's judgments. Till later. Fwiw, wayback archive machine could be used to authenticate the data, I might be wrong by few months but definitely Ubuntu came much much later.
