Updating Eee PC 701SD with newer bios firmware.

Update Eee PC 701SD BIOS - Linux

(I recently decided to install Q4OS on this laptop but forgot about the BIOS - should have updated the BIOS before overwriting XP.)

The instructions on https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/UpgradeBIOS did not work, specifically the option to use Alt + F2 as well as the fallback method.

By adjusting the fallback method to Rufus, this fixed the problem

Specifically, UNetBootin did not work at all and could not see or access the files at all and was showing drive A:. and was not able to change to drive C:\ Using Rufus worked perfectly

Run anyconnect VPN in WSL in Ubuntu 22.04 (So only ssh traffic, sftp flows through VPN)

I'm doing a Uni course where I have to use a server which requires a VPN to access it. VPN is annoying as it slows doing your internet searches which don't require Uni network (unless using Library suff)

There was also the option of logging into a ssh server which doesn't require a VPN...

Anyway, I needed to copy a jupyter notebook and it needed two copy operations to copy any file. This file didn't copy properly using filezilla then scp... One hop is easier to troubleshoot

So it seemed hard doing the route option because I wasn't sure what arguments were and there were no images with circles around the various outputs of commands

So I read use a VM... then it occurred to me I could use WSL and it has a virtual adapter.

How to create a video intro for a play in the theatre against a coloured curtain

Components of a video intro for the theatre against a coloured curtain require a greyscale palette as the colours will not look true otherwise.

Also, one should have some music or voice over.

To find appropriate images, one can use the search terms etching, engraving, grayscale, clipart...

One can convert raster images to greyscale using GIMP (free and open source software) or vector image manipulation using Inkscape or manually editing .svg files using an editor

For text, it is best to have an outline around the text be it a white outline for black text or a black outline for white text.

Install semantik on Ubuntu 24.04

Install semantik on Ubuntu 24.04 in WSL

Use git to download sourcecode eg git clone %filename%.git

sudo apt install libkf5kdelibs4support-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtwebengine5-dev qtpositioning5-dev python3-dev libkf5doctools-dev python3-pygments qttools5-dev-tools

If new installation of ubuntu, need to install compilation tools and if your python installed on machine is called python3, install this python-is-python3 for convenience.
