Opensuse Leap 15.4 review

Hello! Welcome Back to another Opensuse review. Sometime back i installed Opensuse Leap 15.3 and it provided an amazing experience. i always prefer a stable OS so that i dont get any surprise boot error or sudden malfunction by an app. if you want a rolling OS you can opt to Opensuse Tumbleweed but you should be ready to download ~GB of update very frequently similar to arch. Arch Linux - it was an amazing experience using Arch i had finished setting up a Gnome Desktop but no matter what ever fix i followed the Bluetooth fails to detect any devices. i reinstalled Arch with LTS Kernel instead the issue was resolved but not too long it was same issue after reboot. next time i installed with KDE and it worked ike a charm, may be issue with Gnome Package in Arch linux. things went smooth untill last week i was greeted with Boot error, something went wrong with an update and i was unable to go to terminal to reinstall Grub. i thought to boot from arch Net install ISO but started thinking if...

VLC Media Player Blocked in INDIA! Boost Windows Video Player.

  Hi Everyone, This blog is after a long time, recently i tried downloading VLC Setup file for Windows OS to play a certain Media format which Windows Movies&TV /Media player does not support but the site was not accessible. This was long back ago and as an alternative i was able to get setup file from FileHippo Web site. But i recently came across the news that its banned in INDIA, how ever you can download the setup file from various 3rd Party sites. So thought of writing a blog on how i installed codecs for Windows Media player to play almost 99% of video formats. Although VLC is still available and downloadable on Linux Distros as they are delivered via Packages/Snap/Flatpak.  I am using Windows OS on one of my System as few reporting SW as not available in Linux. back to installing Codecs, its very simple go to the below Site and the instructions are very clear and crisp. https://codecguide.com/windows_media_codecs.htm   as i have Windows 10, i choose to download...

Ubuntu Software not loading apps/not working - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

 Hello! Recently i installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and came across an issue with software center when trying to install some apps. i searched google,askubuntu and all answers were to uninstall,clear apt cache and re install software center app. none of them worked, few of the suggestions were to try opening from terminal and i was getting error that app/cmd was not found. One more unusual notification was apt-update showed no updates but Ubuntu software app showed there were updates to be installed and it included firefox,snap-store snap pkgs updates. then it flashed to my mind that Ubuntu uses Snap for software like Gnome software uses flatpak. so i tried updating snap-store app form terminal and it worked. First i updated all snap apps and tried opening Ubuntu software but still it was not working. Then i tried updating snap-store app itself. i got an error to end running snap apps which i did and updated snap-store. Then the issue was resolved and i was able to update/install/remove ...

Arch Linux Easy Install

  Hi Everyone,  Last few months I was occupied with learning SQL and Power BI so was unable to post. I will be posting this blog in sections as i am updating when ever i have spare time. so by the time it will be published some app features may change/differ.  earlier i was reluctant to install Arch/Gentoo as i was not ready to spend a day entering commands, installing and post install tasks. Gentoo would take a week to compile , install and reach the Desktop setup. There are many Linux distros forked or based on Arch, their whole point of existence was they offered users a Graphical installer to install Arch so that users could experience the Arch Linux. But they do not provide Pure Arch experience as we are fully not in control of apps which are getting installed and often you get a customized Arch Linux. Now With ARCHINSTALL shell script it is very ...
