 FYI, the new command is multipass auth. Note you must first issue multipass set local.passphrase as admin to set passphrase (and then enter this same passphrase when issuing the auth command).

Why Linux will take over the world!

Linux reaches 4%

   will take over in 2040!

 No. 

Linux distributions can be usable even by regular folk depending on how they use them.  For web browsing, working on documents, spreadsheets and drawing its usable its fine.

 But once you go off a very narrow path of those basic tasks you may wind up fiddling with apt, peering into the terminal, trying to install package mostly succeeding but sometimes failing in mysterious ways.

healthcare.gov on Ubuntu / VirtualBox

What:  healthcare.gov website

On: Ubuntu / VirtualBox

Why: Why not?

 The Doing:  A few easy steps 

Get the source

https://github.com/Conservatory/healthcare.gov-2013-10-01
Follow the build instructions in the README.md file.

Setup the environment

VirtualBox

VirtualBox 4.1.23
VirtualBox 4.2.18

VirtualBox 4.3.0
Don't forget to install the guest additions.

Ubuntu

* Ubuntu 10.10 (EOL)
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
 ? Ubuntu 13.10

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
This version was just right.  All the Gems and Ruby on Rails installed without a peep.  This was left out of the readme instructions

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

Now wait a little while after

jekyll serve

Then in the web browser go to this URL:
http://localhost:4000

I wasn't getting the web site but then I noticed that I had typed 4400 instead of 4000.

Enjoy!

 gem install bundler

 will keep complaining about zlib being incompatible or whatnot.  Just move on to a more recent or at least an LTS version of Ubuntu.  No need to suffer inst. hell.

Handbrake on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

Handbrake on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

Handbrake is great video processing software, use it to convert DVDs into more usable mp4, mkv, movie files.

Type these commands at the terminal:

Add handbrake to your list of repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases

update the list:
sudo apt-get update

more info.

Then you can use Ubuntu Software Center to install handbrake-gtk (GUI version).
Typing ghb will launch the handbrake application.

Enjoy!

Visiting NixOS land

Hello Nixers!

I visit NixOS annually to see the progress (like a comet?). This is my 2.5 year visit.

NixOS Visit Report
============
Visit 1:
VirtualBox install under OS X fails
VirtualBox install under Ubuntu Intrepid success!
Competitive landscape: Haiku r1 works great right out of the box.
+s Great helpful community
-s tedious to set up
time invested: 5 days?? No it can't be.

Visit 2:
VirtualBox install under Ubuntu Intrepid fails!
Tedious configuration.nix editing incantations; reading mail archives, NixOS docs (nice logo)
Competitive landscape: Haiku R2 update slower than R1 but only requires 128MB of memory!
time invested: 12 hours?? No it can't be.

Visit 2.5
NixOS pre22737 VirtualBox install under OS X success! Intel E2200 disable VB VT-X enable PAE
+Very nice liveCD the desktop looks very slick (slim)!
+ Installs yay!
+ Community remains small but incredibly helpful
- Installed NixOS lacks window manager
- Installed NixOS should come up looking like LiveCD
- Still highly tedious setup
- VirtualBox additions where?
- way too much reading of manual, and mainly mail archives
Competitive landscape: OpenSolaris 2010.03 crawls on budget hardware. don't bother. Pretty nice on even 10 year old server hardware though.
time invested: 8 hours? Still spendy willing to visit again though.

Keep up the good work; looking forward to Visit 3
