Bodhi Linux ARMHF RootFS
You will always be able to find the latest copy of this file system on Bodhi source forge page here. The default user name is armhf and the default password is bodhilinux. The default user has sudo access by default.
Essentially on any device we have a functioning Linux kernel for - it should simply be as easy as extracting that file system to a bootable location. Copying over /lib/firmware and /lib/modules and then telling your ARM system to boot from this new file system.
As an aside - this is the first blog post I am writing from the Samsung ARM Chromebook with the Bodhi desktop! Hopefully have install instructions for this device online soon.

Hey Jeff,ReplyDelete
I installed the arm image onto the Raspberry PI and I really like the new theme.
However I am struggling with the fact that there is no network applet icon in the systray. I am having to connect the old fashioned way using iwconfig.
Any hints as to what I am doing wrong?
The Raspberry Pi has only a wired connection by default. The Bodhi image auto connects to wired networks at startup. If you have added a wireless adapter I would recommend using wicd-gtk as a GUI manager for wireless connections.ReplyDelete
Man, Jeff, this is just plain awesome! I've been thinking about purchasing a Samsung ARM Chromebook and this just makes me want one even more.ReplyDelete
Hi ! Thanks for your GREAAAT work ! that's awsome. I'm currently tring to revive my zenithink epad v1, which have an arm CPU. (a v6 one) just one question: do you think it could run ? thansk again.ReplyDelete

Hi! Is it possible to install bodhi on adam tablet of notion ink?ReplyDelete
I am interested to try on Transformer TF-101ReplyDelete
I ran Ubuntu once, from OLife Prime installer, but it was an old release, boot only through recovery partition, and Ubuntu developers claim that supporting TF-101 is impossible.
Given that experience, I have a doubt that what they say is entirely true. It may be true that driver blobs are compiled for a specific release of xorg and cannot be freely ported. The release was obviously not perfect, but wifi, touchpad, xorg all worked (until I tried to upgrade to the latest release.)
I found a lot of sites that say you can put Bodhi Linux on TF101 but so far did not find the link. Can you tell me where to find it?
I will post back if I can figure out how to do it. Going to give it a shot some time using OLife. I suspect it will work, but the tools are not friendly.ReplyDelete

Any plans to make an image for the Hackberry A10?ReplyDelete
My quick qestion ... I just received an A8 based 512meg Android tablet running ICS (DOPO m975). I would love to try bodhi on it, but without getting rid of android (still learning it, and not sure if IT want to replace it, yet.) Is there a way to do a live session?

hi there,ReplyDelete
i just got a tegra3 t30s x4/1gb lp-ddr2/10.1" @1280x800 tablet with ics 4.0.3 and after some stressing it it left me keyboardless and i discovered a nasty iptables/socket bug in the kernel, within a week from getting it, so i'm actually searching for alternatives.
e17 is most certainly one of the sleekest linux desktops for me, so if you have any feedback for tegra soc i'm willing to test it and stress it a bit. android was a disappointment and over-hyped, i would rank ics a 4/10 and there are definitely some paranoid permissions in there, and it's greedy on the resources as well.. i'd love to hear some feedback, thanks.

Any word on rk3066 devices. I have a PiPO tablet I'd like to run Linux on. The guys working on the PicUntu project are dealing with this platform but to be honest i find bodhi to be a much more pleasurable user experience than any other Linux distro I've tried and would like to stick with it. Also, are you planning a dalvik layer for arm devices. This is the one thing that keeps me from switching entirely. I've been on android as my main computer so long and compatibility with android apps under a true Linux environment would be killer. Thanks and great work!ReplyDeleteReplies
Dalvik doesn't work on true Linux distros as far as I'm aware. Porting something of that nature is outside the scope of what I do at the Bodhi project - someone else took up that torch it is for sure something we would package/provide for easy install though.Delete
The MK808/rk3066 chipset REQUIRES Windows to flash Android images to the nand - and you need a custom android image to boot Linux on the device. So basically you HAVE to have Windows to boot Linux on the rk3066 hardware - that is something I refuse to support at Bodhi. It sends a very wrong message to hardware makers that it is OK to provide only Windows tools.
We have MK802 images and I plan to provide images for the GK802 (imx6 powered device) at some point as well since both of these devices are far more Linux friendly than anything rk3066 based.
This has changed. rkflashkit allows flashing from linux now. I use this to flash my rk3066 based tabled from Ubuntu. Realize your post is over a year old but thought this info might help anyone looking to flash rk3066 from linux only.Delete
Since you have the mk802 image what about Allwinner a10 tablets - like the Pengpod? They seem perfect for Bodhi.ReplyDelete
What about the UG007 support?ReplyDeleteReplies
Aside from the GK802 I recently picked up I do not expect to be supporting any other new ARM devices with ready made images any time soon.Delete
Remember - the point of me providing this rootfs is to make it easier for people to get Bodhir unning THEMSELVES on other devices.

I would like to try it on my tf300t tablet there is already ubuntu port for it but i prefer to try Bodhi :) The Xubuntu port use an external sd card and can select Android or Xubuntu. forum.xda-developers.comReplyDelete
is this good for go on samsung galaxy s3?ReplyDelete
So, what exactly does one have to do to make a Bodhi image. I just got a pcDuino. It has an Allwinner A10 chip and a gigabyte of RAM, practically the same hardware as an MK802. I can build a bootable SD card and there are directions available to build a Debian system that can boot off it.ReplyDelete
What would you have to do to make a bootable Bodhi system?
Is it possible that one of the current versions of Bodhi ArmHF would run on the Asus Transformer TF101?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 30, 2013 at 8:07 AM
Hello JeffReplyDelete
I have a tablet using the Allwinner A10 chip ... similar to the mk802 ...
I have downloaded your image for the MK802 ...
What are the next steps? Please can you writhe the install instructions?
Hi Jeff,ReplyDelete
First off, let me say I'm extremely impressed so far with the latest release on my HP pavilion, and that's saying a lot coming from a die hard Ubuntu fan! question for you though, I see a lot of tablets mentioned for the ARMHF line, would this work on a Cell phone though? Just curious?
Is it possible to install Bodhi to one Ainol Aurora 2? and well I have an old superpad (the first one I guess), what about that one?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 8, 2013 at 7:13 AM
Umm... what would really be sweet is a port of Bodhi for the HP TouchPad! Oh yeah! :DReplyDelete
There are tons of TouchPads out there and in addition to WebOS, they can run Android and any ARM OS compiled for it's processor. In fact, I've seen several videos on youtube showing Ubuntu running on the TouchPad; however, for some serious productivity Bohdi would rock.
I'm running a CRAIG Netbook CLP281x and trying to find out if I can install Bodhi on it. I've been running Bodhi on my IBM ThinkPad R40 and am quite pleased with it.ReplyDelete
Hey there.ReplyDelete
I was wondering if there could ever be a possibility of having an image for the Coby Kyros tablets - more specifically the MID8048 if possible. It would be incredible if it could happen.

Get Your Scissors Sharpened! (Seriously, Do It!)
So you know how sewing guides always tell you to get your scissors sharpened regularly? So . . . does anyone actually do that? I know I don't. I bought my pair of Ginghers when Jeff and I were first dating, i.e. seven years ago. And haven't had them sharpened since. Of course, they were in terrible shape - they didn't really cut fabric so much as shred it. But sharpening them was one of those things I never seemed to get around to. Until now, my friends!
I finally got so fed up with their condition that I bit the bullet and did it. I came across Henry Westpfal through some creative Googling, and they were awesome. They turned the scissors around in a day and when I came to pick them up they brought out some scrap fabric for me to test them out on. Oh my goodness, they cut that fabric like buttah! The fee was around $8.00 with tax. And having sharp scissors has totally changed my attitude about cutting patterns out! It's actually fun now.
So, do you have your scissors regularly sharpened? I highly recommend that you do it! Even if you don't have a special sharpening place like Henry Westpfal, you can take your scissors to anyplace that does knife sharpening. Ask around at cooking shops like Williams Sonoma if you're not sure where to start. Also, Gingher services their scissors for a charge of $7.50, which includes return shipping (see here for more details).
Sharp scissors for everyone! Woo hoo!

They can be sharpened if there is a lap line on the teeth. There should be two colors shiny on the bottom and darker on the top. See on youtube sharpening pinking scissors with a twice as sharp machine. You would have to send them in to a sharpener or maybe someone locally can do it for you.Delete
I have the same question about pinking shears. I bought some in the thriftstore and cuts paper really good. But it just rips fabric.ReplyDeleteReplies

I hadn't sharpened my Ginghers in 10 years, but recently got them sharpened at Sew Right in Queens while I was there taking a serger class. Harvey charges just $4 and he had them back to me in an hour. They are SO sharp now!ReplyDelete

I have 3 pairs of Gingher scissors (tailor points and 2 left handed dressmaker shears) and I get them sharpened once a year. I have to send mine off to to the company itself, and I need to do it to the tailor points, but they get them annually. I use one pair of dressmakers for 6 months, then the other one. The tailors I use for fine cutting and general sewing work (thread snipping, at the machine, etc.) I probably need a second pair of those, but I can't find them anymore.ReplyDelete
When they no longer cut like butter, off they go. I did cheap scissors for years, and never will do so again.

I too have wondered about sharpening pinking shears. I'd like to use them more often but it just seems like too much of a chore.ReplyDeleteReplies

They can be sharpened. Talked to your hair stylist to see if they know of a sharpener. A good sharpener will be able to tell you if your pinking shears can be sharpened or not. Get out of the habit of throwing things away when they can be refurbished with very little cost. Plus you will help your local sharpener keep his or her business running. Good luck!Delete
I've been meaning to get mine done for a while - thanks for reminding me! We have sharpeners for our sheep-shearing shears, and my boyfriend has offered to do them, but I'm not sure I'd trust him with them lol!ReplyDelete
- seamstresskimMarch 1, 2010 at 9:09 AM
My Ginghers always need sharpening before my Mundials, and I use them less often! Love those Mundials! Pinking shears can only be sharpened so much, and then they're only good for paper (umm... scrapbooking?), unless you like that chewed-fabric look. I love Newman's in W.Springfield MA.ReplyDelete
I'm a costume shop manager for a university in Pennsylvania as well as for a summer theatre festival and we go though a LOT of scissors. I always use Ginghers (except with the beginner sewers who use cheap scissors which get replaced every year). Twice a year I send half a dozen pairs to the company to have them sharpened and rebalanced for only about $7.50/pair. I would suggest to any sewer to have two pairs of scissors--you can have a pair at home while the others are being sharpened. Gingher will sharpen and balance any of the scissors they sell--even the pinking shears.ReplyDelete
I have a knife sharpener by wustoff that has a scissors sharpener built into it, and I regularly sharpen my scissors (I also sharpen my knives frequently too - dull blades of any kind are dangerous!)ReplyDelete
I use a rotary cutter for cutting out fabric move of the time though - when the blade gets dull, I change it out
(seriously, I cannot abide dull blades...I even sharpen the cheap desk scissors from staples!)
wow, thanks for the post. I'll definitely be sending my Ginger's off. For some reason, I just don't trust JoAnn's to sharpen my scissors. :)ReplyDelete
Ah Gertie, you always have such timely posts! I have been meaning to have my scissors sharpened (along with our kitchen knives!), and keep forgetting every time JoAnns has the visiting sharpener there. I need to figure out the next time he'll be sharpening things, as I can tell my Ginghers are a bit dull (it's been a good 3 years since the last sharpening!). ;)ReplyDelete
I really like the two pair idea that some commenter's mentioned; I might have to start thinking about keeping a back up pair handy!

Oh, you have reminded me--I haven't sharpened my Ginghers in years. I keep meaning to do it, but I have to take them to a place I've never been to before--well, now I've looked up their address and I have no more excuse. My fabric thanks you.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the link to Gingher's - I had no idea they offered that service. I have a pair of thread snips that chew thread more than anything else, and I was reluctant to have it sharpened at Joanns. Now I have a more confidence-inspiring alternative!ReplyDelete
PS Same for kitchen knives - DO sharpen them regularly! It is safer, too.
I have a pair of KAI sheers. After years of heavy use they are not dull at all and they cut all the way to the very tip. I believe they are plated with tungsten or palladium. Getting your scissors sharpened is a pretty good deal, but I'm super happy with my KAIs. They cost $16.00 about 8 years ago.ReplyDelete
i don't think i've sharpened mine since i got them in college which was- gasp!- over 20 years ago. they still seem pretty sharp but i'm sure if i got them sharpened i would see how un-sharp they are! could this be why i hate cutting?ReplyDelete
You DO have everything in New York, and don't you forget that! :)ReplyDelete
I use my Wusthof sharpener I use for my knives for my scissors too. It works pretty well, but my pinking shears are another matter entirely. I've had them since I was a kid and hence they've been through many icky craft projects and they chew through fabric in a rather unlovely way. I always procrastinate on matters that I find annoying, so I bought a pinking blade for my Olfa to avoid having my pinking shears sharpened.ReplyDelete
I do actually get my scissors sharpened regularly. Well I do now. I was like you, and hadn't had them sharpened since I first bought them. They wouldn't cut anything. The problem is, it takes a week to get them done! I hate that. So I have a back up pair. Can't live without a good pair of shears. Just can't. I think they are one of THE most important dressmaking tools out there.ReplyDelete
For any readers in London, I know MacCulloch & Wallis (on Dering Street, just off Oxford Street) sharpen shears, too. I view pinking shears as largely disposable (and I don't use them that often anyway), but the gorgeous, weighty tailor's shears my sister-in-law gave me that were her grandmother's? oh my. I just love using those and you'd better believe I'll get them sharpened when they eventually fade.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 1, 2010 at 1:15 PM
Wow, thanks for that link! My local Joann's offers occasional sharpening, but the guy only comes during business hours so I can't make it. I actually bought a cheapie pair of scissors to use b/c my Ginghers are so dull. I'm mailing mine off tomorrow!ReplyDelete
I have to mail mine off because there is no place near me so I always put it off, but I have about 10 pairs so I switch them out. I guess I should mail a couple pairs off when I get the money :)ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever gotten mine sharpened and it is WAY past time. Haven't found a convenient place in Atlanta yet, and don't trust Joanns, besides never being around there on the Saturday the guy shows up.ReplyDelete
And my pinking shears, hahahahahaha. I don't think they would even cut paper.
I haven't ever sharpened mine, but I don't use them that often (I'm a rotary cutter fan.) But my pinking shears? Before I got a serger I used them on nearly every seam, and they are awful! I didn't know Gingher would take the pinking shears, I may have to send them in!ReplyDelete
i sharpen my shears, snips and scissors myself. It's easy, it's fast, and it doesn't cost eight bucks a pair. And there's no temptation to keep using a pair because "they're sharp enough for X".ReplyDelete
Hmm that's an interesting idea! Thankfully my scissors generally work well, but if they start shredding my fabric I'll try to find a store like that!ReplyDelete
I use the fiskars black and grey handled Easy Action Bent scissors and I LOVE them! I got this sharpener for them:ReplyDelete
Clip-Sharp scissor sharpener
It works great!
Now I need to figure out how to sharpen my thread snips...
Very timely post! I just noticed yesterday how very dull certain parts of the blades on my Fiskars are. Time to get out my Wustoff!ReplyDelete
I have also found the cheap little sharpener for rotary blades handy for getting a little more life out of my rotary blades. It looks like a funny puzzle to put together, but it works ok for "touch-up" sharpening.
oh man! i LOVE getting my ginghers sharpened... they are so smooth and make fabric cutting fun :D we don't have a scissor sharpening store here where i live, but there is a booth at the local flea market that offers scissor sharpening for $5. love it!ReplyDelete
Shannie thankyou for posting about your Easy Action Fiskars and the sharpener you got- I am a Fiskars girl too. I love the vintagey look of Ginghers and Mundial scissors but I find them so heavy to use!! The Fiskars are great, and when I was at fashion school EVERYONE wanted to use them instead of theirs (which was kinda annoying!). I have never sharpened them in six years because they haven't seemed to need it but I am curious to get the sharpener and see!ReplyDelete
I'm another blog reader who is wondering about the pinking shears and can they be sharpened...I also have an old pair in my sewing kit..ReplyDelete
Rose in SV
Excellent!! Good to know that Gingher will do it b/c i know there is no one else near me that does - i have tried before. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hey guys, Henry Westpfal DOES sharpen pinking shears so it's certainly possible. Whether every sharpener offers this service or not, I don't know. Please share your experience if you've had pinking shears sharpened!ReplyDelete
Gertie you really DO have everything in New York! We've got nothing like that here and all my scissors need to be sharpened badly - especially my pinkers.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I should get my scissors sharpened, too. They still work quite well, so I am too lazy to actually part with them to get them sharpened.ReplyDelete
Although I sharpen my knifes myself, I would not recommend sharpening your scissors yourself because the cut is not straight like with knifes, but kind of curved. (Don't know how to explain it better, but if you close your scissors and look at them from above you will see a gap in the middle where they won't touch each other). So it would be better to let pro's do the work.
We cut A LOT of fabric here at the studio, and as a little christmas present to ourselves, we got all our shears sharpened!ReplyDelete
Now we get a little shiver of delight when we easily slice through even the heaviest canvas! *joy!*

several people commented on how to sharpen pinking shears in the comments above, so i thought id speak up for once and share my insight lol! from what i was told at britex fabrics in san fran is that its difficult to sharpen pinking shears. hence why it is cheaper to buy a new pair than get them sharpened.ReplyDelete
I have had sharpening my scissors on my To Do list for a little while now. I have had them done and the difference is amazing! It really is a must to have both your knives and scissors sharpened every 6-12 months by a professional. Now I just have to get off my bum and do it!ReplyDelete
I have scissors sharpening machine, but I still do use like I should. I tend to buy a new pair when Joann's has a 50% sale. My Gingers I don't use as much as I should. I use to be go about having my scissors sharpened when I lived in NYC, because yes,,, Everything is there. But you known I should not complain because there is a man at the farmers market that sharpens knives and scissors. NO EXCUSE!ReplyDelete
Sewing's hard. Better leave that to the pros, too.ReplyDelete
Sharpening things, on the other hand, is easy. For reasons that I've never understood, many Americans have a horrible fear of sharpening things. It's not rocket science. Little demons don't appear and steal your first born child if your technique isn't perfect.
Straight edged shears (most sorts of sewing scissors, besides pinking shears) are very easy. It takes almost no equipment, and is quite forgiving of less than perfect technique.
As for getting pinking shears sharpened, you need to find someone who either sharpens them by hand (expensive to pay a professional to do), find someone who has a machine that will do them, or send them to the manufacturer (which is a variant of option two.). Many of sharpeners that make appearances at sewing stores simply have bought a machine, watched the video that came with it, and hang out their shingle to ruin shears. If it doesn't fit their machine, they can't do it. Someone like the people Gertie went to, who have an actual place of business, are a much better bet.

I recently had my scissors sharpened by a mobile guy who sharpens the local hairdressers and dog groomers scissors $10 and lovely sharp scissors in 15 mins!!ReplyDelete
When I first got my Ginghers I was told only to take them to a cutlery shop to have them sharpened. So I did...about once over 10 years! Two years ago I just broke down and took them to JoAnn's and last year brought them to the farmer's market. Don't know that I trust either of them for quality, but I had sharp shears the same day I dropped them off!ReplyDelete
I have my scissors sharpened regularly. I live in the country where there are no fabric stores, no sewing stores, nothing. Recently, in the middle of nowhere, a quilting shop opened and it operates 7 days! They have a wonderful man who repairs machines and another who sharpens scissors. I have two pairs of identical scissors and a cheaper back up pair that I cycle regularly. About yearly they go in for a 'service' and it makes the world of difference. I have about ten pairs of thread snips that get moved from active duty at the machine to less active duty by the ironing board and then into semi retirement for making triangles when cutting out before being relegated to the bin.ReplyDelete
My scissors are what I can afford.... and it's Fiskers, not Ginghers. I'm not even sure if you can get Fiskers sharpened at all! Did you know that cutting through layers of tin foil can actually sharpen your scissors? I read it somewhere and tried it with an old pair and it actually works...ReplyDelete
I did it, I dropped my Ginghers off at the saw/knife/sharp things store. I miss them, and I can't get them back until Wednesday. But I'm looking forward to seeing them all lovely and invigorated!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the tip about Ginghers! I have had mine for about 15 years and never had them sharpened- they still cut well- but I am sure they could use a good sharpening!ReplyDelete
What is regularly?ReplyDelete

I keep seeing comments about JoAnn's/fabric stores...the folks that do those are not usually with the company and they have days the people show up to pick them up, it's usually some old guy who's been doing it for umpteen years, and to be honest, I'd rather give them to that guy then Gingher's.ReplyDelete
My old guy died which is why I have to send them off. I really would rather give my 8 bucks to some old guy who sharpened knives and scissors long before I was born.
Laura, I hear you on what you can afford. For the better part of 6 months, I put non-quarters in a jar, took them to coinstar and got amazon gift certificates there EVERY WEEK, and saved for my first pair (and no one knew about it). After, I divorced the deadbeat so I was able to budget in my $25 a little better (and it STILL took me 6 months to get 2 more pairs, on sale). Scissors are one of those things that do make a world of difference in sewing, and you should get the best you can afford. If it happens to be $7 scissors, then take care of them. I knew about the tin foil trick, but be careful since it can mess up fabric.
As I child I remember my mother having a pair of scissors which I was never allowed to touch as they were her fabric scissors, once I accidentally used them to cut paper and she ran screaming across the room trying to save them from getting blunted. Caring for my fabric scissors has been drummed into me!ReplyDelete
I never thought of getting scissors professionally sharpened though.
As a good temporary and immediate measure I use a wine bottle to sharpen my scissors. You just 'cut' at the neck of the bottle with the scissors and somehow it really works. I've even done it with pinking shears and it improved them for a while.
Thanks for the info. Though I live in Jersey I do alot of things in NYC. This can be one of them!ReplyDelete
wellll...... I just got my shears back form Westphal, and I'm sad to say they do NOT cut like buttah. :( I don't know if they are even any better than they were before, although the sad bits of rust on the blades are gone and they did oil the join. We'll see how my pinking shears fare when I get them back this weds.... they were dull since I stole them form my mom 8 years ago so any improvement will be a plus.ReplyDelete

I've been in the textiles business for over thirty years and am also a professional sharpener in Massachusetts with a KAI and Premax Scissor online store. If your scissors or pinking shears need immediate attention, you can always try the old sandpaper or aluminum tin foil temporary fix. Using either 200 -80 grit sandpaper cut through the paper with your sicssors a couple of times. The same is true for the aluminum foil except you must fold it twice. There's nothing like having your scissors professionally sharpened, but this is a temporary fix and will not harm your scissors.ReplyDelete

HOUSTON, TX – Amazed scientists have discovered two new planets 1,300 light-years away, and one of them is the exact twin of Earth in every detail.
What's more, experts believe it may be inhabited – by precise duplicates of every human being now living here on our own planet!
The discovery is thanks to the recent service mission to fix the Hubble space telescope. Noted astronomer Alexander Wolszczan of Pennsylvania State University stunned the world earlier this year with news that he had found two planets about 6 trillion miles from here – the first planets ever known to exist outside our solar system.
At that time, he thought they were both much larger than Earth.
Since then, shocking new photos taken by the Hubble have been leaked to the press by an unnamed NASA source.
The top-secret pictures reveal that the smaller of the two newfound planets is so amazingly like ours that, when it's shown side by side with pictures of Earth, even the most knowledgeable astronomer can't tell them apart.
"It's chilling," says Dr. Raymond Tufts, renowned astronomer and foremost authority on the solar system. "The green-blue coloration of the new planet indicated an atmosphere composed of the same mixture of gasses that surround our own.
"It's the same distance from its sun. Even the shorelines of its continents are formed in the exact shape of ours.
"It's as if God were holding a great mirror up to Earth from across the universe."
The Hubble Telescope's magnification isn't powerful enough to show any inhabitants on the new world, but experts agree that the planet is capable of supporting human life.
And some respected authorities go even further, claiming that each of us has a perfect duplicate of himself – working, playing and interacting with others on the mysterious planet.
"For thousands of years, great philosophical and religious writings have referred to a 'parallel universe'," says Dr. Yale Holtzer, a renowned author and philosopher who has lectured in leading universities throughout the U.S.
"But there's never been any concrete evidence until now. Since ancient times, many sages and mystics have believed that you and I have a carbon copy of ourselves, existing in the same time frame but in another world.
"But maybe your 'twin' has made different decisions in his life than you've made in yours, causing him or her to learn different lessons. If we could somehow meet these people there's no end to what we could learn about ourselves."

Lastly, the other things we went over have been addressed, and the latest build and snapshot, as of today, should work much better and differently.Thanks again.
Using LMCE-1004-20120429132625935.iso. Hybrid install works. Have 2 MDs up and running I had to run Diskless_CreateTBZ, otherwise no MDs would boot. The other MD is stuck at 640x480 cant get AV wizard to run on it. Its an intel graphics. Tried to delete the xorg.conf, but still cant get the AV wizard to start. Anytime I start an MD up, Both of my internal hard drives go off line. Need to log in to webadmin and tick back online and quick reload of router.
Couldnt get the MD to finish. On first boot failed to set up x. Rebooted it and the AV wizard came up. That's as far as I got. Just sits there with black screen with the white cursor. Its a Acer revo 1600.
I'm downloading LMCE-1004-20120506204225945.iso atm.Will only finish by tomorrow. but will test then and provide feedback.Karel

In her June 28 piece Mad, Bad, Sad: What's Really Happened to America's Soldiers at Tom Dispatch, Nan Levinson writes about "moral injury."
It's a concept in progress, defined as the result of taking part in or witnessing something of consequence that you find wrong, something which violates your deeply held beliefs about yourself and your role in the world. For a moment, at least, you become what you never wanted to be. While the symptoms and causes may overlap with PTSD, moral injury arises from what you did or failed to do, rather than from what was done to you.
Agreed: I've long thought that when veterans of World War II and subsequent wars that the United States has prosecuted or participated in refrain from speaking about their experiences, it's not because of what was inflicted on them. It's because of what they they did and wished they didn't, or didn't and wish they did. The second category covers everything from acts of physical cowardice to failure to object to or report atrocities committed by their fellow soldiers.
In fact, as Levinson so astutely writes:
In trying to heal from a moral injury, people struggle to restore a sense of themselves as decent human beings, but the stumbling block for many veterans of recent US wars is that their judgment about the immorality of their actions may well be correct.

Hue discrimination color test
Online Color Challenge
Thanks, Paolo
54 comments:
Easy enough to sort at first, but I had to really resist tilting my monitor to find the subtler differences toward the end.
Apparently I am bad at green, but an overall score of 32 which is... good?

- Neurolinked said...
Buahahaha :'( , i'm really intresting in art and i try to study a lot, i'm a little colorblind but my result is 95 ....... in what way i can continue if my eyes can't perceipt in right way the color ???
I continue in this way, but nature hasn't certainly helped in my street
- June 29, 2012 at 8:51 AM
- ideeeyut said...
So if you score poorly at this test, how would you go about improving? I've always had trouble discerning these kinds of things and would really like to get better at it.
- June 29, 2012 at 8:57 AM
- Jeremy Rice said...
Please note that this test has a lot to do with the quality of your monitor (and if you take the test on another machine, you will get quite a different score).
- June 29, 2012 at 9:08 AM
- Jimmy Simpson said...
I got a 16 for my score.
@Neurolinked - I would look at Alan Gutierrez and his work. He is diagnosed Red-Green color blind, but he studied color theory to perfect his technique.
Here is a post by him about that.

I scored a 16 on my wee net book. Will try again on my bigger computer. Fun, but challenging!
- June 29, 2012 at 9:34 AM
- James Gurney said...
Jeanette and I together got a 16, too. Don't know think my old laptop screen has ever been calibrated. Is that a good excuse for not doing better? I wish they told us how we fared on the bell curve. I assume someone is gathering data for an experiment.

Got a 4. Mistakes were made in the warm green zone.

- Robert Ellefson said...
I got a 4, but I'm on a mac, so I think I technically cheated hahahah.
I was a printing pressman for years and had to do a ton of color mixing by hand to exacting standards while trying to to use the smallest amount of ink possible. For anyone who wants to get better at mixing color, I would suggest the best way to gain better color acuity is to mix color! Instead of always mixing a color that looks "right enough" for what you're trying to do, don't stop until you determine the actual perfect color, and match that as precisely as you can. I once spent almost 10 hours trying to get a color right (I'll never forget that %$#*$ color! It was a slightly warm grey at about a value of 8 on the munsell scale) It's a lot easier to hold yourself to a standard like this if there's an uptight boss looking over your shoulder. hahahah. I definitely don't go to these extremes when I'm painting at home but the time I spent doing it on the job has definitely helped me figure out how to get to the color I want.

I scored 11 and had a slight discrepancy in the cyan region. As an artist im surprised ive never tested myself for this before. Interesting stuff, thanks for the link.

- Unknown said...
I got a 7, with low discrimination in red-oranges and greens. I agree with Jeremy, though; I think a lot of it has to do with the screen you use.
- June 29, 2012 at 10:27 AM
- Brenno said...
I got a 4 as well, with mistakes located in the blue area of the spectrum. By the end of the test I noticed that slightly squinting the eyes and avoiding staring improves (just like in painting)the ability to distinguish between the subtlest hue variations.
- June 29, 2012 at 10:32 AM
- Mamath said...
I did the test twice - I scored 15 on my large main monitor that is not currently colour calibrated and then 0 (perfect score) on my cintiq screen that HAS been colour calibrated. So this test and the data it collects is a little bit useless since there's no accounting for monitor differences... Still fun, though! And I'm a little relieved that on a properly calibrated screen, my accuracy is quite good! But to those getting worried about their colour perception abilities...don't sweat it, really. Probably just the screen you are using!
- June 29, 2012 at 10:58 AM
- radiodaedalus said...
I tried this a couple times and the areas where I had errors seemed to magically align with the temperature of the room light (eg. under florescent greens were off etc.) So I suspect that at least for non- colour blind individuals, a poor score on this has more to do with the monitor and the room than one's skill at discriminating between hues.
- June 29, 2012 at 11:32 AM
I used to work at a paint factory. I remember the color mixers were not allowed to drink alcohol during the week because it would affect their color perception. Oh yeah, and I scored a zero the first time! yeah, and I though I would flunk!
- June 29, 2012 at 11:34 AM
- Craig Daniels said...
I've tried this before, and it looked like the image on Jims screen, but when I do it now 1 square is placed underneath the row by itself. Is anyone else getting this or have any ideas?

- Poet Whale Studio said...
Interesting test. Thank you for the link
I tried two tests on a 19" Acer monitor.
1st test 47 arranging dark side first. Big mistake on dark brick (3rd line)
2nd test 16, bright side first.
On the aqua-lavender line, both tries have a few mistakes in same area. I feel it's easier working the bright side first.
- June 29, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Thank you for posting this, very interesting. I too was worried about my monitor screwing up my results, I know it hasn't been calibrated but it is of a good standard. To my relief I did get 0, helped brighten up my day after I received a statement for my student loan!

I got a score of zero, but I am on a H-IPS calibrated monitor.

Woo! perfect color vision, 0 score. Cintiq monitor.
- June 29, 2012 at 12:59 PM
My score was 182, due to being somewhat colorblind. (Which I'm told is rare for a female; my dad's completely colorblind and my mom's apparently a carrier of the gene.) Coincidentally when I was out painting yesterday it was pointed out to me by some onlookers that Viridian isn't the calm, gray-green that I tend to think it is. Anyone know of a good green to use when toning or underdrawing for, say, a subject with a lot of reds? I'm guessing Terre Verte (PG23+PG18
+PB28) or Chromium Oxide (PG17) might work, or else cut the Viridian with some Transparent Red Oxide?

7! on a best buy store brand LCD (60hrz) 40" non-calibrated TV-as-Monitor! I suppose i'll actually give Dynex, (at your local best buy) a plug for this, i was seriously under the impression this was a worse set than that.
Which isn't to say that the colors it displays are true, but that they're hue gradient depiction is pretty good.

I got a 0, but I turned the brightness all the way up on my mac monitor so maybe that's cheating. :P
I wonder how this figures into helping me get better at painting?
- June 29, 2012 at 2:49 PM

I got a 4! I found the squares just to the right of the center the hardest to sort.

- kevinwparker said...
It would be nice if there were more interpretation of the scores. I got a 58, but it's hard to tell if that's good are bad when all you're told are the best and worst scores for your age group. My impression is that my monitor isn't all that good, though, in any case.
- June 29, 2012 at 3:03 PM
- PatternGhost said...
Perfect score on a budget Dell 17inch.
I found that by moving the tiles into big groups and then testing individual tiles to the left and right one position, it was easy to tell when a tile 'fit' or not. They seemed too 'dark' when too far to the right from their group and too 'light' when too far to the left from their group. Not sure if that makes sense.
- June 29, 2012 at 3:41 PM
- Keith Parker said...
I got a seven. All my problems were in the blue green range. perhaps the monitor was a problem, or maybe I'm not good with those hues. I was also surprised that according to the site women have much better color perception than men in general.
- June 29, 2012 at 4:29 PM
- Rod said...
I did the exact same thing, PatternGhost. Get them in roughly correct order, then start grabbing difficult tiles and wiggling them back and forth to make the hue change pop more clearly. Got a zero this way.
- June 29, 2012 at 4:32 PM
- Alex_Munguia said...
Same as Rob and Pattern Ghost. 0 on my score. Good stuff.
- June 29, 2012 at 4:43 PM
- Janet Oliver said...
Took it again on my larger monitor and got a 7. This time my only errors were in the blue/green range, whereas before on the smaller monitor, they were spread across the spectrum.

26, on a nice plasma 24" uncalibrated monitor. (I didn't think to turn up the brightness -- good idea.)

I have 4 in my score, in the green zone
- June 29, 2012 at 6:17 PM
- Susan Sorger said...
I spent a long time on it. Once I completed looking up close, I moved back away from the screen and made adjustements.
I was using my laptop which doesn't give the best results.
But using that method: drum-roll please: I got a perfect score.
Very pleased with myself. Too bad I can't draw.
- June 29, 2012 at 7:06 PM
- Dan Kent said...
I got a 19 - seems pretty darned good for my age group. I'll take that. Hmmmm, at least I was happy till I saw these other results!
- June 29, 2012 at 9:53 PM
- David Teter said...
I got a score of 12, did not calibrate the monitor.
I was surprised my 'problems' were with the blue greens, which I thought were easier.
I did an overall sort first then fine tuned like PatternGhost and Rod.
I should say I gave myself a limited time of about 2 minutes per line just to see how good my quick decisions are. I'm usually better without second guessing.
@Laura... see this post, it may help. It is a little backwards to your question but good advice.

But that's no surprise. I'm a bit colorblind. A challenge for a visual artist, but no showstopper.

Thanks so much for the link; chromium oxide it is. :)
- June 30, 2012 at 9:52 AM
I had a score of 20-something previously, but now after taking it again i had a 0!
I remember having quite a lot of problems with the third green-purple section. But it might be cause i have a crappy monitor then.
Still, it's good to know my eye-brain coordination and monitor are both working fine.
- June 30, 2012 at 4:32 PM
I did pretty well, 28.
- June 30, 2012 at 5:17 PM
- Erik Bongers said...
@Laura: I had (or still have) the same problem with too bright or unnatural greens.
I used to mix my greens with Emerald Green as a base, mixed with reds and yellows, but appartently it's too difficult to mix Emerald Green to a natural warm green.
So I started using Sap Green (Daler-Rowney Cryla 375).
It's a mixture of phthalo green pg7 with arylamide yellow py73 and iron oxide red pr101.

I've done it once with little pieces of paper about 20 years ago when they did all sorts of test at grammar school (part of some study). All they said back then that I had exceptionally good colour vision and a zero score now (with an old Dell monitor) reassured me that they were right :)
- July 1, 2012 at 8:55 AM
Not sure if you've ever mentioned it, Mr. Gurney, but what type of computer/monitor do you have, and do you ever paint digitally?
- July 1, 2012 at 9:06 AM
- erlson said...
i got a perfect score of 0 on a macbook pro.
I really don't see how the monitor affects people's scores because the brightness or darkness of the monitor should relatively affect each hue at the same level, making difference between each hue unchanged.

When working for an ad agency in Chicago, the manager of the photo retouching department had this in a peg form, where you put the pegs in order. I got 100% correct. He asked if I wanted to be a photo retoucher? I turned him down because I wanted to be an art director.
I found this online a few months ago and took it again. Same result. Maybe I should have been that retoucher? But I enjoy being an artist better.

I got a 0 (perfect) and did it on a mac laptop, which generally have pretty good calibration. I also am an illustrator, and have spent many years mixing paints and spent a lot of time painting all of those swatches and arranging them in fade order that were pretty much like this test back when I was in Art School.

I got a 0 on this. (Screenshot to prove it!) I'd like to point out, however, that I took the test about 6 months to a year ago on the same uncalibrated screen and got in the mid-60's, blue greens being my worst area.
I picked up Color and Light after that. I used to work in charcoal primarily, now I work in oil. It's all about studying and practicing.

I scored a 0.... strange bc I've been told I was color blind by my ex (an architect who is incredible with color).
Also, I only see out of one eye and my vision is compromised.
My current computer is a loaner from my geek brother and it is ancient! A Panasonic CF-53... so the monitor is nothing special.
I guess being used to compensating for visual impairments maybe I'm able to compare the subtle differences in the cubes? Idk
Seriously- what does this mean anyway??

BEIRUT – In the midst of a conflict rife with sectarianism, a giant bronze statue of Jesus has gone up on a Syrian mountain, apparently under cover of a truce among three factions in the country's civil war.
Jesus stands, arms outstretched, on the Cherubim mountain, overlooking a route pilgrims took from Constantinople to Jerusalem in ancient times. The statue is 40 feet tall and stands on a base that brings its height to 105 feet, organizers of the project estimate.
That the statue made it to Syria and went up without incident on Oct. 14 is remarkable. The project took eight years and was set back by the civil war that followed the March 2011 uprising against President Bashar Assad.
Christians and other minorities are all targets in the conflict, and the statue's safety is by no means guaranteed. It stands among villages where some fighters, linked to Al Qaeda, have little sympathy for Christians.
So why put up a giant statue of Christ in the midst of such setbacks and so much danger?
Because "Jesus would have done it," organizer Samir al-Ghadban quoted a Christian church leader as telling him.
The backers' success in overcoming the obstacles shows the complexity of civil war, where sometimes despite the atrocities the warring parties can reach short-term truces.
Al-Ghadban said that the main armed groups in the area -- Syrian government forces, rebels and the local militias of Sednaya, the Christian town near the statue site -- halted fire while organizers set up the statue, without providing further details.
Rebels and government forces occasionally agree to cease-fires to allow the movement of goods. They typically do not admit to having truces because that would tacitly acknowledge their enemies.
It took three days to raise the statue. Photos provided by organizers show it being hauled in two pieces by farm tractors, then lifted into place by a crane. Smaller statues of Adam and Eve stand nearby.
The project, called "I Have Come to Save the World," is run by the London-based St. Paul and St. George Foundation, which Al-Ghadban directs. It was previously named the Gavrilov Foundation, after a Russian businessman, Yuri Gavrilov.
Documents filed with Britain's Charity Commission describe it as supporting "deserving projects in the field of science and animal welfare" in England and Russia, but the commission's accounts show it spent less than $400 in the last four years.
Al-Ghadban said most of the financing came from private donors, but did not supply further details.
Russians have been a driving force behind the project -- not surprising given that the Kremlin is embattled Assad's chief ally, and the Orthodox churches in Russia and Syria have close ties. Al-Ghadban, who spoke to The Associated Press from Moscow, is Syrian-Russian and lives in both countries.
Al-Ghadban said he began the project in 2005, hoping the statue would be an inspiration for Syria's Christians. He said he was inspired by Rio de Janeiro's towering Christ the Redeemer statue.
He commissioned an Armenian sculptor, but progress was slow. A series of his backers died, including Valentin Varennikov, a general who participated in the 1991 coup attempt against then President Mikhail Gorbachev. He later sought President Vladimir Putin's backing for the statue project.
Varennikov died in 2009.
Another backer, Patriarch Ignatius IV, the Lebanon-based head of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch and All the East, died in 2012. He had donated the land for the statue, according to church official Bishop Ghattas Hazim.
By 2012, the statue was ready, but Syria was aflame, causing the project's biggest delay, al-Ghadban said.
Majority Sunni Muslims dominate the revolt, and jihadists make up some of the strongest fighting groups. Other Muslim groups along with the 10-percent Christian minority have stood largely with Assad's government, or remained neutral, sometimes arming themselves to keep hard-line rebels out of their communities.
Churches have been vandalized, priests abducted. Last month the extremists overran Maaloula, a Christian-majority town so old that some of its people still speak a language from Jesus' time.
On Tuesday a militant Muslim cleric, Sheik Omar al-Gharba, posted a YouTube video of himself smashing a blue-and-white statue of the Virgin Mary.
Al-Ghadban and the project's most important backer, Gavrilov, weighed canceling it.
They consulted Syria's Greek Orthodox Patriarch John Yaziji. It was he who told them "Jesus would have done it."
They began shipping the statue from Armenia to Lebanon. In August, while it was en route, Gavrilov, 49, suffered a fatal heart attack, al-Ghadban said.
Eventually the statue reached Syria.
"It was a miracle," al-Ghadban said. "Nobody who participated in this expected this to succeed."

Welcome to Astro-Wiki by Astrodienst.
Selected Categories
New and Revised Pages
AstroWiki by Astrodienst is a free encyclopedia of astrology. It collects the knowledge of the astrological community and makes it available to everybody. Everyone can read Astrowiki without the need to register.
To seed the wiki instead of starting with an empty one, Astrodienst has acquired the right to re-publish the content of two astrological printed encyclopedias published in Germany. They were translated into English by Astrodienst. This is the reason why currently a lot of the content refers to astrological schools and techniques popular in the German speaking countries. We are sure that this will change with the future development of AstroWiki.
While everybody can register (create an account), this has little additional advantage. The only additional feature for registered users is access to the 'special pages' and the possibility to take part in the discussion pages. There you can make comments or propose additional wiki content, though only the user group with 'editor' status can make changes to the wiki articles or add new articles.
How do you become an Editor? By having an administrator give you Editor status. We welcome new editors capable to contribute to the encyclopedia.
In this tutorial you learn more about it.
Attention: The various wikis by Astrodienst are independent of each other. Registrations for one wiki are not vaild for another. The registrations are also completely independent from the registrations at the website www.astro.com or in the Forum of Astrodienst.
Currently we have three wikis:
- astrowiki/en: Astrology Wiki English (this wiki)
- astrowiki/de: Astrology Wiki German
- astro-databank: Astro Databank (mainly with celebrity birth data)

Patriots fall short as Ravens win AFC championship
A year after the New England Patriots took advantage of Baltimore's late mistakes to advance to their fifth Super Bowl in 11 seasons, the rematch went to the Ravens.
''It seems like every year, it's us and them always fighting at the end,'' Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said Sunday night after Baltimore beat New England 28-13 in the AFC championship game.
''You're looking at two good organizations, two good football teams, so I'm not going to downplay them one bit. They're a great football team. You know, the best team won tonight.''
Joe Flacco threw for three second-half touchdowns and Tom Brady was intercepted twice to stall New England's comeback tries.
The Ravens and Patriots also met in the 2010 wild-card round - a 33-14 Baltimore victory. Last year, the Patriots reached the NFL title game when Lee Evans dropped a potential winning touchdown in the end zone with 27 seconds left before Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have forced overtime.
''With how the game last year ended, and who (No.) 12 is, and who their head coach is, and who their owner is ... you won't get another battle like this between two AFC opponents,'' Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. ''We have the utmost respect for them.''
The Patriots took a 13-7 lead on a 25-yard field goal right before halftime, but Baltimore took advantage of injuries that depleted New England's pass defense to outscore the Patriots 21-0 in the second half.
Flacco, who had just 81 yards passing at halftime, led Baltimore on a 10-play, 87-yard drive in the third quarter to take the lead. He then added a pair of touchdown passes to Anquan Boldin on back-to-back possessions to start the fourth.
Brady led New England down the field, completing six of seven passes in one stretch, before three straight incompletions turned the ball over on downs. After forcing a three-and-out, Brady connected with Wes Welker for a 36-yard catch-and-run but his next pass was tipped into the air by lineman Pernell McGee.
Dannell Ellerbe waited for it to come down and then cradled it in his arms as he went voluntarily to the turf, surrounded by a pair of celebrating teammates.
''You have the opportunity to win the game and we came up short,'' Brady said. ''There's frustration in that we wish we could have done better. But they're not going to give it to you. We didn't earn it; they earned it. They played a good game.''
Baltimore ran 4 1/2 minutes off the clock - while gaining just 27 yards - before punting the ball back to the Patriots with 2:05 left to play. Brady brought New England to the Baltimore 22 before his pass into the end zone was intercepted by Cary Williams with 66 seconds left.
''Everybody just stuck together and stayed positive and continued to play the way we normally do,'' Williams said. ''Eventually, Tom Brady made a couple of mistakes and we were able to capitalize on them.''
Brady completed 29 of 54 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown, surpassing Brett Favre and moving into first place on the NFL's career postseason list with 5,949 yards passing. He is 4-1 against the Ravens in the regular season and 1-2 in the playoffs.
The Ravens are the only team he's thrown more interceptions against (10) than touchdowns (eight).
The Patriots, who had the highest-scoring offense in the NFL this season, were held to a season-low point total in their finale - more than 20 below their average.
Welker had eight catches for 117 yards, and Stevan Ridley ran for 70 yards on 18 carries before leaving the game following a fourth quarter carry in which Bernard Pollard hit him in the head so hard that he fumbled away the ball.
''That was the turning point of the football game there on the 40-yard line,'' Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. ''It was a tremendous hit. It was football at its finest. It was Bernard Pollard making a great physical tackle, just as good a tackle as you're ever going to see in football right there. That probably turned the game around right there.''
Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib hurt his thigh and defensive tackle Kyle Love injured his knee. Backup safety Patrick Chung was helped off the field after one play.
Record-setting tight end Rob Gronkowski, who broke his arm twice during the season, watched the game in owner Bob Kraft's suite. After the game, Kraft patted Brady on the helmet as he walked off the field.
''It always comes to a screeching halt,'' Brady said. ''There's only two teams that advance. Those two teams deserve it. We've lost before. It takes a while to get over.''

The sweet and lovely Emiline is hosting her first food event: St. Paddy's Day Pub Crawl!!
I'm not Irish like her, but I do have my share of Italian/German/Portuguese blood and I like some alcohol sometimes. :)
It took me a while to decide what to prepare for the event (today is the deadline to take part in it) because I wanted something with a Brazilian feel. Finally, I went for these caipirinha truffles (the ones I had previously in mind when I made these).
I think the truffles are OK, but not as good as I expected. The cachaça flavor was strong and I think some lime juice would have worked well to replace part of the liquor.
Emiline, I hope you like my Brazilian booze recipe!
Caipirinha truffles
loosely adapted from here
400g white chocolate, finely chopped
grated zest of 1 lime
¼ heaping cup (70ml) cream*
3 tablespoons cachaça
cocoa powder, enough to cover the truffles
Combine chocolate, zest and cream in a heatproof bowl; place it over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
Stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat, add the cachaça and mix vigorously until mixture is silky and smooth. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to form balls.
Scoop out rounded teaspoons of the mixture (while it's still cold and firm) and form balls – you don't want your truffles to be perfectly rounded. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder and place in small fluted paper cases or on a plate. Keep refrigerated.
* Once again, I used a type of cream we have here that is packaged in small Tetra Pak boxes; it contains 25% fat. I did it to avoid wasting an almost full jar of heavy cream.
Makes 35 truffles
