One more year of lazy blogging is passed. Looking back to this year I must say I have no excuses for writing less than one post per month. Far more better looking forward, I'll try doing something more next year: I have two Raspberry PI installations, at the moment, which are attracting my interest more of the "flatter" desktop computing world. So I hope you'll find something more interesting on this blog next year. Stay tuned ...

Upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark)
It's some time I don't upgrade my desktop
computer, I must reckon I enjoyed the relative stability of using a
LTS
distribution and didn't fell the need of a twice-a-year system
upgrade. Unfortunately my PC suffered of a system crash, probably
because of some faulty hardware, just while updating with the result
of corrupting the installed operating system beyond my capability of
repairing it.
I so downloaded latest Ubuntu
distribution release and started the good-old installation procedure.
No
more Ubuntu-gnome long live to Ubuntu (Gnome)
I’ve been a Ubuntu-Gnome
user for a long time, so I’ve been quite pleased to learn
Canonical decided to stop
Unity support and adopt Gnome-Shell as primary desktop manager. I so
went for downloading latest Ubuntu ISO image. Once finished I
prepared a bootable USB disk using Unetbootin
tool, then I restarted my PC.
Installation
I started my computer from USB disk then selected
the “Try Ubuntu ...” option instead of starting directly the
installation program in order to collect screen-shots more easily.
After usual language and “third party” option
selection I came to the installation type selection where I choose to
upgrade my 16.04 installation.
