I bought a new PC in June. And I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on 14 Oct.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 to that. Its case is ANTEC NINE HUNDRED TWO v3. The power unit is on the bottom. It has three air filters inside on the front side and on the left side of the case. The clean-up of the dust on the sides is hard for ejecting those filters.

I could use REX-SATA3

To be advised on IRC@2ch, I put RATOC’s REX-SATA3 removable case on the bottom since the removable case is too long for putting on the top of the PC case. I can use the removable case on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 now.

I cleanly installed Ubuntu 11.10 on the PC

Now Ubuntu 11.10 is released on 14. Its default desktop is Unity. But I dislike it. So when I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 on the PC, I tried installing XFCE, Xubuntu desktop, and Gnome shell. But I don’t know how to delete “XFCE” on the lightdm and I feel it complicated for some others… So I cleanly installed Ubuntu 11.10.

I updated my links page for the end of the free hosting service of Rakuten’s Cool Online and of the free web board service of livedoor’s OTD.

Since I had a website named Underground University on Cool Online of Rakuten, I got their mail for quiting the service. (I decided to let my website on it extinguish.) So I could care soon. But I didn’t know that OTD’s service would end since they didn’t send me such a mail. I got to know OTD’s end by seeing that “Genious Fool Web Board” extinguished.

So I updated my links pages: Des Liens de Emmanuel Chanel and Kita-no-Ookami Fan Club Links the Revived.

Yesterday or so, I added “Sincere Lee’s Blog” and “Taiwan is Japan’s Lifeline!” to “Des Liens de Emmanuel Chanel”.

I had added those two to Emmanuel Chanel’s Favorite RSS@Iza! a while before but not done to Des Liens de Emmanuel Chanel, my links page. So I’ve done this time.
Sincere Lee’s Blog is a Korean dentist’s Japanese blog that I got to know on Korea Watching. He shows the Korean situation.
Taiwan is Japan’s Lifeline!, I got to know on the News Flash + Forum or the East Asia News + Forum of 2ch, the biggest Japanese anonymous forum.(I forgot which forum.) The explanation of the website is like what the blog says.

Kita-no-Ookami Fan Club Links the Revived

I deleted all the contents of Kita-no-Ookami Fan Club, a website with essays of Mr. Kita-no-Ookami, by his cancel of my publishment. But the links page is my own content and out of his cancel. In addition, I’m impressed that one on Funny Puncu School estimated the links page convenient. So I felt it good for people there to use the links page in convenience but I hesitated to upload it because of my trouble with Mr. Kita-no-Ookami.
But now I don’t have no ways to get his permission to bring back the whole website. But I’m happy if thoese people use the links page… So I uploaded Kita-no-Ookami Fan Club Links the Revived.

I changed the link of “Sammyadd’s Makeshift Record” to one of “Administration of the History of Failures”

Mr. Sammyadd had a website named “Sammyadd’s Makeshift Record” with “Outrageous Books Detection Kit”. But the website extinguished by the end of Rakuten‘s free hosting service. So I changed the linked website from that to Administration of the History of Failures, his blog.
I asked if he would bring back his home page by mail but I haven’t received his replies. Maybe he’s busy. Seeing the whole net, he is lost and unable to communicate.

About 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami

I live in the northern Kanto Region. The shindo scale of the quake at my house was 6+, I hear.
I was in the hospital then. After the long quake with Shindo 5, the emergency light got on with other lights off. So I panicked to run out without waiting for the lead. The hospital’s building is alright now.
My home, my parents, and I are alright, too.
I’m very anxious about the Fukushima 1 nuclear accident, although the tsunami killed much more lives. So sometime, I’m too much involved in the news about it. And sometime, I posted some comments about the accident on other internet sites. And I haven’t updated any of this blog for a long time. Few would see this blog, though…(Becomig too melancholic, I’ve quited to follow the news deeply for a long time, though…)
My area is longer than 80 km far. So we won’t be affected so badly. I hear that the accident is level 7. But better than the Chernobyl disaster, the reactors are stopped. The accident won’t become worse than the Chernobyl disaster. So I’m not thinking of runing away since I don’t feel that it makes sense. There are very many nuclear sites in the world and we cannot run away far from them.

I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal on 30 Apr, 2011.

It’s all automatic on the Update Manager and too easy to remember any. Sorry.
For my PC’s specification, I cannot use Unity desktop that becomes the standard desktop of Ubuntu. So my desktop is Gnome of Ubuntu Classic.
I’m thinking of buying a new PC. So it can be no problem. But I feel that Ubuntu requires high performance, too.

I changed my blogs’ appearance on 3 March.

I have this blog and a Japanese blog with WordPress. And their theme was basic2col. I really like it. But I found a bug in view on my blogs.
I’ve put a Google AdSense‘s advertisement under the Meta part. But another meta part appears under the advertisement where I didn’t set.
I don’t know how to make the themes of WordPress. So I cannot fix that by myself. So I changed my blogs’ theme from basic2col to Dear Diary.

I updated the BIOS of my PCs with GIGABYTE GA-MA69G-S3H to enable them to virtualize with AMD-V on 17 Dec.

When I installed VirtualBox in the Fedora 13 era of my Ubuntu 10.10 PC, I found the PC unable to virtualize on AMD-V. But I found that I can do that with the BIOS update. So I updated the bios both on my Ubuntu 10.10 PC and on my Windows XP PC. (Those PCs has GIGABYTE GA-MA69G-S3H.)

I saw the Japanese page about it of GIGABYTE Technology. For seeing the manual on paper, I printed it out.

  1. I downloaded BIOS F7 on GIGABYTE – Motherboard – Socket AM2 – GA-MA69G-S3H (rev. 1.0)
  2. Execute the file to extract.
  3. On my Windows XP PC, I formatted a floppy disk(diskette) for the DOS/V filesystem.
  4. Copy gama69gs3h.f7 to the diskette.
  5. Reboot the PC. Press [TAB] key and make sure that the BIOS’s version is old. Mine was F4 or so.
  6. Reboot the PC and press [DEL] key. After that, seeing BIOS setup, select “Load Optimized Default” and make it load. And “Save & Exit”(I don’t remember if I do that. But it’s necessary as far as I know.).
  7. Reboot the PC and press [DEL] key. After that, seeing BIOS setup, press [F8] for Q-Flash.
  8. Select “Update the BIOS from Drive” and press [Enter] key.
  9. Select “Floppy” and put the cursol on the BIOS file. Press [Enter] and the PC asks me if I’m sure to update the BIOS. [Enter] to continue.
  10. When it completed, press a certain key and returning to the Q-Flash menu, press [ESC].
  11. On the manual, [Enter] for “Are you sure to RESET?”. But I’m not sure if I did.
  12. I got enabled to virtualize with AMD-V on the new BIOS.
