I have never learned to play drums but just sometimes tried. Now after many years tried again in my workplace. I wanted to share the recording to my friend, but could not get editing it with a music editor. Got it though to a videoeditor and of we go.

I would describe this to be like mixing together 60s finnish art hippies naturalistic naivist experimental music which was affected by fusion jazz of the time and then you put that sound on a video they show in art exhibitions and show them in some corner behind big black curtains.

Not in anyway a nice experience and requires either good loudspeakers or headphones. This is like a vomit. Have felt something is wrong inside of me and now I got it out.

Maemish, I just noticed one of your sig lines: "For me it is possible to get lost in any case"

There is an easy way to avoid getting lost: don't care where you are going.

I took one week off work without salary to recover from my summer car project 10 weeks/7-23/7d per week over 500h alltogether. Well haven't rested. Took personal data out from 58 N900s, took them apart, took one iMac apart and back and have been installing systems and today took 7 laptops to recycle after removing rams and hds from them. Still 11 left plus 3 desktops. So I thought that before going back work tomorrow I go to The Bar, Siltanen, and just put some stuff taken from the 58 N900s to my own: music and movies and podcasts. But my laptop did not recognize my N900 as mass storage as before!!! Went through the forum and rwebooted device without success and unmounted the MyDocs from terminal with a script and then was frightened not finding my N900 filesystem with filemanager bwefore remembered I had unmounted mydocs without knowing how to remount so rewbooted and searched for answers and removed easydebbie and some other stuff as pc-connectivity-manager and reinstalled and and and...

Nothing worked. Been so frustrated here in the bar where I waas supposed to relax. Then changed the cable to another usb port in my laptop and "do you want to use as a mass storage or...".

Well done again Maemish!!!

Here is again a Maemish style of doing things. I have build up a laptop with 7" monitor. I have had a skywave linux installed on it but after that some other OSes. Now I want to install the new Skywave Linux on it. But there are some problems.

1. Skywave now has i3 desktop environment.
2. I have 7" screen with 840x600 resolution as the only option I get
3. My monitor is installed to laptop upsidedown

So what problems do I get from this combo? First when I start Skywave from usb my display shows everything upside down. Well that I can change easily from display settings. But because of the screen size and resolution I do not see everything of the windows on the screen. With LXDE or XFCE or whatever I have managed to use the floating mode for windows but not with i3 now with success.

What does this mean? First I can't change the keyboard layout from the settings, because I can not get to accept the layout I choose. For this problem I decided I need to change the desktop environment. But for that I need to have a networkconnection. I do not see the network icon because of the screen size so I need to go to settings. Took also a while to learn to use i3. When I then get to create a new wifi I need to write my password with a different layout than what I have and I'm used to. Always forget where are the special characters on a different layout,

But ok, then I get the network and I learned after some searching how to get a different environment and how to change to it. So I install lubuntu-desktop and add to keyboard shortcuts the logout option which has been disabled by default in skywave (another thing I had to search for answers how to do it), log out and then get lubuntu desktop. Which is again upsidedown and I have to find out how to turn it (not with screen or display, but with monitor settings, which was hard to find).

But now I want to install this skywave on a harddrive but the .iso does not include installer. The skywave homepage tells that use calamares or ubiquity. So I apt-get install calamares but it won't work. The config file is empty says terminal. Never had an installer without config file.

You have to understand that to get this far I have had to start from the scratch many times because I have live usb without persistence partition so all my settings and such vanish when I mess up something (which I have done a lot today while trying this).

Calamaraes wont start so lets install ubiquity. That starts with sudo ubiquity and I start installing, but it starts to load files before it takes me to where I need to put name and password and after about fifteen minutes installing it says something about can't do and just stoppes.

So calamares. Where to get the conf file. First I download debian conf file. Then I find Lubuntu conf file. Then I search and find that I can just apt-get install calamares-settings-lubuntu and finally it starts installing.

But - the installation window does not move as well as other program windows and I can't get to press the next button. After a while I understand: it does not want to show the bottom of the screen beause it does not have in its conf that ti should understand that someone wants to use the program on a too little screen which is turned upside down. So my only option is to do the installing with upside layout of the program.

Ok. I can do it but it hurts the neck and still I have to drag the window and move the cursor in a mirror way but yes, it starts to partition!!! No, it stopped, because the ssd drive which I have on this has some unrecognized file forms! Whaat? I need to wipe it with gparted. But the installation media hangs on trying to partition. No way to close. I manage to open gparted but it wont mount the ssd cause it is busy. Why? Searching with google how to recognize active programs and how to kill them, At last after many kill commands I got with sudo pkill to terminate the calamares installer and mate-terminal. I try to install again. The calamares gives an error. I try to start from scratch but now I have messed up the skywave usb also.

Now I installed the skywave to another usb, booted up, did all the previous steps with getting wifi and passwords, installing lubuntu desktop, installing calamares and lubuntu settings, and now I first wiped the ssd clean and now, now it seems that it is installing it!!!

But I know that after installation I have to do all the settings again but this time they will stick! I hope. And I need to try to find out how could I make the desktop a bit smaller so I could get everything fitted on the screen. My screen does not show the left side fully and still the windows are too big and the arandr (xrandr with GUI) does not give any other resolution options than one but I think there is a way to get this work in a better way.

I would really like to get the i3 desktop working cause it seems nice and would fit with its style to my laptop. 49% and still installing. There is hope. I want to install Skywave on this because my main purpose will be to use this laptop for radio amateur stuff which I hope I will learn. I have rtl-sdr usb dongles and an old antenna which I have connected to the usb dongle. I would just need someone to guide me through some things. Would like to listen the airplanes which are flying above my house before they land.

After about 90% installation aborted with errors and terminal filled with errors can't do this or that. Decided I will install Lubuntu and install there separately the needed software and drivers and stuff. Shutted down the usb, took it of and tried to boot. Black screen. No system installed. Didn't shutdown cause was frustrated and suddenly skywave linux booted up!!!

Wifi connects but can't access internet. Checked for instructions and got that should edit resolv.conf and put 8.8.8.8 google stuff in there. Well I can't do it cause terminal does not show me anything in this i3 environment and I can't download Lubuntu desktop on it without the internet connection.
