This are a collection of fixes and tweaks I used to get Xubuntu 18.04 LTS working on a lenovo thinkpad X380 yoga laptop.

• Bios:

  • First UPDATE IT, since some old bioses may cause bricking when settings are changed. I used 1.22 and it was fine, but it's no garuntee for others.
    • you can use linux or the preinstalled windows to update the bios http://positon.org/lenovo-thinkpad-bios-update-with-linux-and-usb
  • put into legacy mode (not UEFI) before install, to allow undervolting (to save power and heat)
    • 'Security -> Secure Boot - Set to "Disabled"'
  • (optional) turn off hyperthreading if you want to save more power

• (optional) find the settings for cpu power management and switch to power saving or balanced mode on battery (if not already)

This document _tries_ to outline important items that need to be covered in order to get riak running with docker.

Per service playbooks

Playbooks are written per service : a playbook is a collection of tasks, and eventually associated handers, templates, and files, that are required to properly install and setup a service.

Each playbook has a setup.yml entry point, which is responsible of including various necessary tasks to get the service up and running. Typically, this

Installing and configuring dwm on OS X

1. Install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) which is the development version of the X11.app that ships with OS X, which means it is way more up to date. I have had some weird issues with X11.app v. 2.3-something. XQuartz 2.5.0 fixed that.

3. Add the following script to $PATH, name it dwm-launch and chmod 755:

   cd ~
