Finally, I got Arch installed on my ThinkPad X220. This also means that I will need to learn how to install and update software from scratch again. But that’s the fun part, isn’t it? :) Like many other distros, before we can update the installed packages, we need to update the software database (i.e. updated list from the repositories): [root@tora ~]# pacman -Syy Note the above command is similar to apt-get update in Debian/Ubuntu....
Here’s a quick tip to remove an OpenShift pod with “Unknown” status. Suppose this is the output when I run oc get pods: ~ ❯❯❯ oc get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE dothe-4-bjq8v 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 5h dothe-4-ghttj 1/1 Unknown 0 15h ~ ❯❯❯ oc delete pod dothe-4-ghttj pod "dothe-4-ghttj" deleted ~ ❯❯❯ oc get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE dothe-4-bjq8v 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 5h dothe-4-ghttj 1/1 Unknown 0 15h Let’s try deleting the bad pod again with --force option:...
Up until today, I have been running Fedora 29 with the kernel 4.9. The current version of the kernel on Fedora 29 is 5.0.

At then, I had a choice to either keep running older version of the kernel or trying out the new version of ZFS (testing)....
Lmod is not available in Gentoo’s portage. This blog post will document how I got Lmod installed on my Gentoo machine. First requirement is to install lua. I picked lua 5.2 as I had problem when experimenting with Lua 5.1. To install lua-5.2.3 from portage, run: # emerge -av =dev-lang/lua-5.2.3 If you have multiple versions of Lua installed, make sure to select this lua 5.2.3 as the default version using eselect:...
Again this is a quick note to explain myself how to set a kvm (domain/vm) autostart when the server boots up. To list autostart domains: virsh list --autostart To set a domian, e.g. dhcp1, to autostart: virsh autostart dhcp1 To disable autostart for a domain (e.g. named dhcp1): virsh autostart dhcp1 --disable Ref: KVM: Start a Virtual Machine / Guest At Boot Time
