Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux
Well I am sitting in front of one of those Lenovo Thinkbooks right now. Its a few months old and I recall that I had to perform some incantations before it would shut up and install linux from a USB. Seriously IIRC. You have to both disable secure boot, enable USB boot and format the total, entire ...

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux
Are we there yet ? ;) Nope we are not. Let me first say what I have done, even before posting this question : In BIOS: 1. Enabled booting from USB 2. Disabled secure boot This in theory should allow me to boot from USB, but the boot menu only shows the harddrive with Windows, no USB. No boot from U...

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux
It seems to be a Windows application.
I'm not running any Windows, just Linux.
Except of course for the Lenovo, that runs Windows.
I'll give it a try, see what happens.
I guess it is a matter of pointing the linux iso to the proper usb and make sure UEFI boot is possible.
Thanks.

Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux
Hi All, A friend of mine recently bought a Linovo Thinkbook and asked me if I could install it with linux. Once in the BIOS I noticed there was only UEFI boot, no legacy boot. I enabled the option to boot from USB, but the USB doesn't show in the boot menu as an option to boot from. After some onlin...

Re: Linux Mint Users - Upgrade to 21.1 Vera - FYI
Have you tried using the IDE the old way? (using QT instead of gtk3) , it might fix the problem. i have no problems with procedure collapsing the way i do it, but maybe you do it differently as there are probably different ways. I have expierienced trouble with the IDe as well in more recent versio...

Re: Renting a VPS
Thanks for the info Cogier. The cost for me is about $6.00 a month for a "droplet" (£5.00), this depends on usage As I understand a 'droplet' is a VPS. They advertise with fixed amounts, so how does usage influence your cost? Do you have full root access to your VPS 'droplet' so you can in...

Renting a VPS
Hi all, I'm looking to rent a VPS. I want to revamp my 'How to Gambas' and 'Gambas Learning' projects as they kind of ended when Sholzy quit hosting the Whiteislands forum. I have a lot of spare time atm. since I recently lost my job. Sidenote: I actually worked for a company where I setup a Debian ...

Re: barcode scanner component
Hi, I run into this same problem a while ago. First of all, forget SerialPort, it is way more simple (as Cogier already stated). The USB barcode scanner acts as keyboard input. Make a form with a TextBox (let's call it tbxBarCode) and a Label (let's call it lblScannedBarCode) Next apply following co...
