Before you read this. Big disclaimer. This post is written in super crappy style and is nothing more than my personal notes as I tried to figure out MTP. The only reason I’m even putting this post online is because a few of the things I learned below seem like they will be relevant for future ubuntu touch / android…

Installing Prestashop on Digital Ocean Ubuntu Server
Setting up Prestashop on an ubuntu server is doable and Digital Ocean makes it pretty painless. The background to this post is that I had a sudden need to ‘figure out shopping carts’. I understood from times past it probably isn’t wise to have a shopping cart that intends to scale on a shared cpanel host, even though it’s pretty…

How to use this Bmap Tool Thing…
So someone said ‘use bmap tools instead of dd because it’s faster and better’.It sounded good but as usual when I went searching for documentaion on how to simply use this tool I was left in another command line dizziness. You can check their read me file on the git repository here for yourself if you’d like. This blog here…
Flashing Ubuntu Touch onto SD Card for Pinephone Braveheart Installation
EDIT 20/06/19I have done a fairly extensive post about how to use BMAP properly so here is a link to my post. You should probably read this to know that the true benefits of speed from Bmap tools comes from following the instructions in my other blog. Otherwise, you might as well just use ‘dd’ or other flashing techniques. Bmap…

How to install Korean Hangul Keyboard Ubuntu Gnome 18 Edit 2020.11.10 – The title of this blog wasn’t great because actually the instructions are different for 20.04 suddenly. If you’re trying to install Korean on Ubuntu 20.04, check out this link instead. In Ubuntu there are two things that need to happen to be able to type a non-native language…
GETTING A QUASAR BUILD RUNNING AS APP ON UBUNTU TOUCH
Here is my journey to see if I can make a basic Quasar app work on Ubuntu Touch. I should preface that I have never built an Ubuntu Touch app and I’m not even done my Quasar course but there are enough people interested in this so I want to stop everything and try… Quick Overview of Ubuntu Touch Apps…
Getting Started With Quasar and VueJS on Ubuntu
After watching this recommended tutorial I decided to try out this Quasar thing. My true hope is that we can eventually add Ubuntu Touch as one of the buildable outputs at the end of app creation as it apparently might not be that hard with Cordova… but I digress… I’m not an experienced developer yet so getting started with all…
Overcoming Painful Setup for Selenium with Python on Ubuntu
EDIT 191118I realized that I need to execute the script below every time my computer reboots so my current workflow is to leave the command commented out in script and then run it before I begin. You can probably run it with the script too? This one: export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/path/to/browser_drivers_for_automation I had the following continual painfull errors: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: ‘my_folder_name’ executable…
HOW TO MAKE A NEXTCLOUD PI BOX WORK AS REVERSE PROXY TO YUNOHOST
Background The situation was that I wanted to test out the very cool project Yunohost but I already had Nextcloudpi (another awesome project!) running on my local network. I already had a DDNS service (No-ip) running which was pointing to my Nextcloudpi (“NCP” moving forward) box, and a second DNS service that I set up which pointed to my router…
