Prøver Ollama på Ubuntu

 

Ollama på Ubuntu 24.04.

Prøver Llama3, der rigeligt udfordrer mit system med 15 CPU'er. Llama3 kan vistnok køre på 12 CPU'er. 

[SOLUTION] WooCommerce - no button for CSV-import in "Products"

• Add a test product.
• Wait a moment or so.
• By magick and patience it will appear

[SOLVED ] Stop Apple Music automatic and unwanted launch

Problem: every time I put on my Bluetooth headphones "Apple Music" starts - and sometimes it will even play music. This is most annoying.

Follow the instructions from noTunes, here.

Install NoTunes via brew:

# brew install --cask notunes

Open: Settings / General

Under "Open at login" click the + below and add "noTunes".

Samsung Galaxy: Block phone number

Do this:

1. Copy the phone number
2. Go to "Call settings" (da: Opkaldsindstillinger)
3. Select "Block number"
4. Paste the number
5. Now the number is added to the block list.

However, the scammers will probably try again from another scamnumber. They are just annoying trolls after all.

[SOLVED] Ubuntu: No sound in Bluetooth headphones / speakers

More advanced sound options after the Pulseaudio install

Try to install pulseaudio Bluetooth:

# sudo apt install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Ubuntu's standard settings do not work out of the box. I ran the command and now everything seems to work - with lots of sound options.

[PROBLEM] MacBook Air: Freeze when Outlook is running

The MacBook Air will often freeze when I use an external screen along side with Outlook. On Microsoft's page I've seen that it's a socalled "known problem". They give this advice:

• Update your software
• Try to downgrade Office
• Update Office (!!)
• Use another screen resolution on the external screen

By now I try the last option.

When I teach there is a similar problem with (not so)-Clevershare. Perhaps the solution is the same: use a somewhat smaller screen resolution.

[Solution] Visual Studio Code: very small letters in the OS windows

On my newly installed Ubuntu VSC's letters were too small. The settings in Ubuntu were tweaked and now they work all right. But VSC had it's own way of dispaying the windows.

After some duckduckgoing I found the solution: set the window zoom level to 2.

Perhaps this setting is usefull in other programs too?

Bang & Olufsen: Mozart API

How can I get a response from my device via the Mozart API? 
Use curl along these lines:

curl --request GET \
  --url http://192.168.*.*:80/api/v1/setup/remotes \
  --header 'Accept: application/json'

Let the asterisks be the IP-address on your LAN. 

How can I get the IP of my device?

In the B&O app go to "Settings" > "About" > "IP-address"

Where is the API?

Here is the API: https://bang-olufsen.github.io/operations/get-presets

The BeoNetRemote API
You could also try the BeoNetRemote platform, that works with devices such as "Contour" and "Beosound 2": https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1053298/T1LTe4Lt#0ea7e41f-9b15-4be7-8560-5fdae05754ee

Github Desktop on Ubuntu

 Some recipees are overcomplicated. This one works just fine:

Bang & Olufsen: Multiroom

What works:

• Run Tidal / Music / Radio etc. on your TV - on the remote choose one of the options under "Music" (not "Watch TV")
• Hold down the "start" key till you hear a beep on other multiroom devices.
• Now you'll hear the music on these devices.

TV does not work - a workaround

• You cannot hear the sounds from the TV
• However there is a workaround: Watch TV on the internet on a PC or similar. Share the sound via the PC to the TV (or one of the other multiroom devices)
• Hold down the "start" key till you hear a beep on other multiroom devices.
• Now you'll hear the music on these devices.

Minisforum A1 X1

Bye Windows. Hello dear Ubuntu!
Installed Ubuntu and ditched Windows completely. 

The installation was easy, however on one of the first boots Bluetooth was not detected. The day after it worked, somehow ... The rest is moving data from my nine year old Ubuntu Server to Minisforum.

Minisforum came with Windows preinstalled. I opened Windows just to have a sneak peak, but I'm not a Windows fan. The installations is a nightmare. Spyware and payed solutions all over the place. During installation I dropped the Windows option, and installed Ubuntu on the system. Nope, Windows is not for me at all. 

Boot Disk
I bought a usb-stick and formatted it on my work-Mac.

 Recipe: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#1-overview 

The usb-sticl was FAT32 formatted, so the only thing to do was to burn the Ubuntu-iso. Here I followed the recipe above, downloaded Etcher and booted from the stick.

How to boot from the install disk
Press F7 several times during boot. Now you'll get the option to try or install Ubuntu. I tried and ran the install.

Ubuntu - htop

Now what's system-wise. Everything seems to be up and running. No swap used here and now, however the only thing running is music via Tidal in a chrome-browser and a terminal. 

Ubuntu: todo

• Update backup on old system
• cp backup to Minisforum "Valhalla"
• Tidal - run it from app rather than browser ... how?
• Install stuff like "Oh my zsh"
• Buy new keyboard and mouse
• Mount on the back of a monitor or movable system?

I'll probably just use the system as is - and install whatever is missing along the way. After a month or so I'll probably have a system with whatever I use. 

Verdict so far
Ubuntu more or less ran out of the box.
