Linux: Digikam Editor not showing images
I ran into a really weird problem with Digikam that took me a couple of days to figure out. Since it took me so long to figure it out, I figured I should note this problem here for anyone else who runs into it. What was happening is that I would open Digikam and when…

Linux: Auto Mount EXT4 partition
Several years ago I read a post in a Linux forum talking about splitting up one’s hard drive into multiple partitions so that when the inevitable reformat came along, there was no need to transfer one’s files during the process. Instead, if your files are on one partition while the operating system is on another…

Linux: remove all directories with same name
I ran into an issue with a piece of software that created hundreds of directories amidst my music and video collections. However, all of the directories had the exact same name. Rather than delete all of them individually, I figured there had to be a way to delete them all with a single command. Turns…

Connecting Linux Laptop and Android Phone to UoT_Secure
My university, The University of Tampa, is great in a lot of ways. But one thing the university fails at quite miserably is in its support of anything other than Windows.

Linux: Getting “Find” working in Dolphin on KDE (Linux Mint and Kubuntu)
One of the reasons I switched to KDE from Gnome was Dolphin, the file manager that ships with KDE. When I made the switch a couple of years ago, the Find feature in KDE worked really well. But some time in the last couple of years, the two distributions I’ve been using – Kubuntu and…

Kolob Canyon and Taylor Creek Trail
After spending the night at America’s Most Wanted Bed and Breakfast in Colorado City, we were headed home. But we wanted to do a little more sightseeing on the way. I have done a lot of hiking in Zion National Park, but primarily in the main entrance (southern side of the park), and didn’t realize…

Alaska Cruise – back to Seattle
And then we were back in Seattle. We had everything arranged ahead of time, so we got to enjoy one last meal in the nice dining room on the cruise ship before disembarking. Debi’s mother had arranged with the same mini-bus company to pick us up and take us to the airport. However, we had a…
