Come join our online Linux/Computer/Tech meeting this Saturday

[Wayne]

Time: This Saturday at 11:00 AM to ~1:00 PM Pacific Time

Location: https://meet.jit.si/FeltonLUG#config.disableTileEnlargement=true


Possible topics to discuss:

1) USB stick running Linux that has persistence. Wayne uses this for MX. Many distros can be run from a flashdrive and here is one such option (though at a price):

Member Dick Zscheile gets credit for finding this.

2) Mint 21 upgrade is now available.

3) For unsuspecting people, macOS and Linux may seem similar. This article throws some light on the similarities and differencse between the two UNIX-like operating systems.

As always, bring any questions you have, or join us to help others find solutions to their tech-related problems.

Do we have any volunteers with a topic they would be willing to present?

Hope to see you there...

Need to connect?

If you have problems connecting to "Jitsi Meet" through your browser, try the AppImage (for Linux only). It's a single stand-alone file that contains everything needed and doesn't install or make changes to your computer other than the usual config settings. Simply make the AppImage file executable and run it. Quick and easy, plus it will be automatically replaced with new versions as they become available, so you'll always be using the latest.

"Jitsi Meet" applications are available here:
Linux (.deb), Linux (.AppImage), Windows (.exe) and MAC (.dmg)...

Links to the Mobile apps for Apple and Android are here...

Helpful hints:
press ? to list all quick shortcuts
press M (mute) to toggle the microphone
press V (video) to toggle the camera
press C (chat) to open the chat window
press Space for 'Push-to-Talk' mode so mic only works when the Space is held down; press M to reset to normal mode

Best Practices:
- Remember to enter a user name at the prompt when launching Jitsi Meet
- Please Mute your microphone (M on the keyboard) when you're not speaking, or hit the Spacebar to enter Push-to-Talk mode. Then, hold it down to talk, release to mute.
