My oldest daughter delivered a 9 lb. 6 oz. boy last night.
We're on our way to meet him.
I wonder if he's ready to walk.

Huh? Okay, where in the world has Scott NOT been? That might be an easier question to answer.

Better to ask Carmen Sandiego

Multnomah Falls Oregon off the Columbia River Gorge
The view from that bridge is really cool

My youngest is 28 today. Happy Valent Birthday

So by now, @WrCombs can not only manipulate 4 dozen compressed files, he can also play mp3 files 6 ways.

Please let there be politicians.

I have one here.
I made the log file read only.
Let's have a little fun.

I had to tag this. It's called AD Nauseum. I wonder if it'll take off. LOL

Anyone else grow up watching this?

Youtube Video

I saw the 1st episode. I think I was maybe 12ish. And yes, we watched more after that.

Could easily be.
I'm not sure (maybe Windstream -- ugh) is the next hop up from one of our sites in NE Ohio and they were down all day Monday.
Some odd behavior with our cell service lately too. We have dead spots where we have never had issues before. Verizon, in this case.

Armstrong Cable - their product is called Zoom Internet.

Which has come back up.

Armstrong down in Mercer and Crawford counties. Started about 15 minutes ago.

@scottalanmiller said in Remote Screen Blank in Ubuntu 22.04 | Switch Wayland to Xorg:

If you update to a recent version of Ubuntu, especially Ubuntu 22.04 you will likely have remote access tools like MeshCentral, RDP, Remote Desktop, ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, LogMeIn, and others stop working.

This is generally because Ubuntu has switched from using Xorg by default to using Wayland and changes which is used during the upgrade process. Normally all we have to do is change it back.

vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Edit this file and Ubuntu has handily included a commented out line for us:

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false

Just remove the comment mark, the pound sign (hashtag for the youngsters), save and reboot. Voila.

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the previous version allow you to switch window managers at the login? I seem to remember that from a year or two ago.

UPS here too. I go to the site and it takes 12-18's. I have 12-12's. I tried the 12-12's and no go. The unit doesn't like it when you try to fake it out. Or I did something wrong. Batteries are due in here on Wednesday.

We're relaxing and trying to recover after a day spent a Cedar Point. Back in the hotel and looked at my step counter, 18093. A normal day is ~5600.

Did you get hit by any of the storms yesterday?

Around 3:45 PM. We got into the park at 9:00 AM, so we still had a long day riding rides and roller coasters. Very few lines this time of year as it's the first week Cedar Point is actually open during the week.

Wow,

I haven't been there since I was in high school. I would like to get there again.

You definitely should. Halloweekends is a great time to go if it is still warm with no rain.

Halloweekends when we went was so busy as to make it not worth the trip (paying for the expensive fastpass would've helped, but we didn't know ahead of time).

We're fastpass fans. My oldest daughter just responded, nope. I'm working her over with my son-in-law's help. This is going to be fun.

The kids are in their 30's, grandkids are getting bigger. I'm pushing this out for review. They better say yes.
