Just a note to remind myself to install packages required to have Fedora based system to recognize SD cards or other drives formatted using exFAT. # dnf install fuse-exfat exfat-utils -y After the above 2 packages installed, just reinsert the SD cards, no reboot is required.

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. ...
On most Linux distribution, Ansible can be installed either using python3-pip or ansible package. I’m going to show how to get Ansible installed using the second method on CentOS 8. First add the EPEL repository to the CentOS 8 server. # yum localinstall https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm Next, install ansible package: # yum install ansible Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:49 ago on Sun 10 Nov 2019 09:33:22 PM AEDT.

I’ve been relying on Gnome Software Center to let me know when new ThinkPad P1 firmware is available. Up until today, there is no new firmware available since the last update back in August 2019. However, I stumbled on a post on reddit r/thinkpad, someone mentioned the BIOS 1.26 had been released for X1 Extreme/P1 Gen 2. This made me wonder if there was also new version of BIOS for the P1 Gen 1 that I have. Of course, there is a new BIOS firmware available: 1.24. ...
