I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia on 21 Nov. 2012. & I cannot use Gwibber of Ubuntu’s package on it…

I cleanly installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia on 21 Nov. 2012. It’s based on Ubuntu 12.10. And I’ve also become a member of Linux Mint Japan from Linux Mint 13 Maya for a half year. You can install the Japanization packages by the way on ダウンロード | Linux Mint Japan. I did after my installtion of the distribution. The packages that Linux Mint Japan distribute are made by sachs, the administrator of < href="http://simosnet.com/livecdroom/">ライブCDの部屋. It had had a problem that it override the configuration of ibus, a Linux software like MS-IME before. It was very inconvenient since I use some non-Japanese input methods on ibus. But it’s already fixed on the time of my installation although the fix is not complete.
But I find another problem. Continue reading I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia on 21 Nov. 2012. & I cannot use Gwibber of Ubuntu’s package on it…

I translated a famous copy-and-paste literature about Kindaichi Case Files.

Although I cannot watch the paid channels, I found that ファミリー劇場 shows Kindaichi Case Files. (I wish that I could watch those shows on free channels. But the most of good shows are on the paid channels…) It reminds me of the text on http://2chnull.info/r/rcomic/1301140232/505 . So I translated it for showing a friend on the net.

This is the translation: Continue reading I translated a famous copy-and-paste literature about Kindaichi Case Files.

I cleanly installed Linux Mint 13 Maya Mate 64bit on 7 June, 2012, yesterday.

I hate Unity, the default desktop of Ubuntu. So when I installed it, select the Gnome Classic desktop after installing Gnome Shell. Many people dislike Unity. So yesterday, I cleanly installed Linux Mint, a derived distribution of Ubuntu with Mate desktop forking at Gnome 2.
I feel Mate much better than Unity or Gnome Shell. It’s as easy as Gnome Classic on Gnome 3. That’s good since Gnome Classic will be obsolate.
P.S.
Since I use LVM, I installed Linux Mint by the way on Mint + LVM?.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin cleanly.

Although I hate Unity, I’ve decided to continue using Ubuntu Linux. So I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu 11.10 PC automatically. It almost succeed. It fails to install grub, the boot loader of linux. In addition, I couldn’t do that with the rescue mode of my alternate CD for the clean installation. So I try the clean installation since /home volume is separated from the system volumes.
Probably, if you use LVM, Logical Volume Manager on your system partitions, the installation of grub fails in other ways than the clean installation. It was the final process. So maybe, there is a solution without this clean installation. But I don’t know. It looks better to install Ubuntu 12.04 cleanly if you use LVM by the installation with alternate CD.

I got an account of Twitter on 1 May, 2012, yesterday.

The Twitter ID is @Emmanuel_Chanel .
I got to know the name of Twitter by seeing うかつメディア(The medium of carelessness), estimating that Twitter is medium for careless postings. Impressed by that entry, I couldn’t have registered an account for a long time although I take the best place of tweets, posting short phrases for Twitter. But my entries of the update history aren’t good text. So it may be better to post those short phrase on microblogs like Twitter.
The reason why I registered is that I see many people interested in the issue of whaling use Twitter. And I took it for more convenient to get an account.

I changed my information on Blog People, a portal of Japanese blogs. I changed my blog on the info. from this blog to my Japanese blog.

On 11 Dec, when I went to a library, randomly selecting, I borrowed ブログのもと(“Base of Blogs”) by Kazuyoshi Nagasawa known for Modern Syntax. Accidentally, he was the owner of Blog People where I’ve got an account before. So I changed my blog on it from this blog to my Japanese blog, thinking of joining them even if a bit more.
Talking about the book itself, without reading others many enough to compare, I could learn basic things and that the ping service of updates isn’t trackback ping.

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.

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.
