Crispy IV is the result of an older hard drive starting to fail.
For me, that brings not importing problems from the older machine by copy-pasting it and installing everything from base principles.
That means that years of accumulated gurfle are discarded and some things need recreated.
Today's struggle was fonts.
I use a couple that aren't normally included with Ubuntu and I needed to remember how I'd gotten them installed when I first installed 20.04.
I managed to figure it out, but I'm not certain I did it the same way with 24.04 as I did back then.
Who knows?
Next mission is to figure out how to get the keyboard shortcuts for things like "Ö". Again, I remember it being simple, but I also remember FuzzyGeff hand holding me through it.
Use Clonezilla or Gnome Disk for a full backup and restore. They work with Zorin which is a version of Ubuntu lite.
ReplyDeleteExcept for a couple of small things, which are customizing the OS stuff, everything was already stored on my NAS.
DeleteI do it infrequently enough that I forget what I'd done the previous time. Unlike Windows were it seemed I was fixing something every week.
Yeah, it's simple. Go to the upper right menu, choose Settings (maybe just a picture of a gear). In the window that appears, choose Keyboard. Within that, the setting you're looking for is Compose Key. Now you can hit [Compose Key] then ["] then [O] to type "Ö".
