CNIX notes

I’ve done two installs and both went smoothly, both on old devices. So far, my biggest issue is with getting the Libre products to open files on my Windows share drive. I’ve gone through the steps to set up the remote location and the files can be seen but they will not open. The reverse, I can’t save to the share, is also true. However, when trying to save I do get an error saying it doesn’t have sufficient user rights where opening files just does nothing. Any suggestions?

They work fine on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation but not on CNIX.

Otherwise, I love it.

I’ve got one CNIX question. During the install, if I walk away from the box I’m installing on, screen lock is started and I’ve no idea what the password is to unlock it. This happened twice, so I restarted those installs & did not walk way. :slight_smile:

Install went smooth on my HP Athion 3150U.
The only problem so far is installing/uninstalling software. It works but the script always returns a value of 1.
Pretty nice distro. Apps load quick and all else seems stable.

Curious if you got the CNIX python dev going.

The comments below are uber newby so probably don’t apply to your situation but I thought it would be related to developing in python so here goes!

I’ve been making good progress with Python (Thanks Jeff!) and was totally stumped getting pip and import modules going until I figured out how to set up the virtual environment (venv) to isolate the work directory from the overall system.

Once I got a virtual pip (python code installer) going installing Pandas, Folium, Flask and other great modules is a cinch.

simply running in the terminal:
python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Shell Command to activate virtual environment

  • bash/zsh: $ source /bin/activate
  • just run deactivate to quit the venv

This is the documentation for setting up the virtrual environment.

If there is interest I can explain more fully for those new to python as well.
