Just the same as ordinary unix boxen (typically 20%) This runs OSX 10 7 5, to upgrade to Yosemite, is it just 'click and watch'? How much free space should I make before attempting upgrade? Are there any good housekeeping utilities to use, going through some apps, I've found a photo app with over 1 gb of deleted photos. (something like ccleaner ?) Any hard disk area to check for junk, like temp in windoze? Thanks for any pointers Even though apple are SHontTs and the scum of the earth to wit they DO make nice hardware and some nice SW. Timemachine is easy to use, (much much nicer than anything we’ve got). DO a timemachine backup before *anything*. WD make a USB (and USB powered) 1T ‘Passport’ $89 JB HiFi I’ve not measured but my opinion is that you need 25% free. If you told me 50% i’d not argue. If (click n watch fails) Install Yosemite - use timemachine Will install yosemite and restore your machine (almost) exactly as it was. Mail, passwords, you *may* need to enter the license key for some stuff eg MS Word Once you have a TM backup you can slash-n-burn to get 50% free, upgrade, restore. You can easily install to an external drive eg my mac mini runs on a 2G WD Passport and has another as timemachine (oh the 500G internal disk? sorta ignored). I cannot notice any degradation (but unix does do that LRU cache) James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] 5th Gen i3
Hi I’m using 14.04 on a 5th i3 NUC. In the last 3 days I’ve had 3 crashes, at least 1 I could ssh and reboot the other 2 I could NOT ssh in. I am using USB3 connectors as that is all the NUC exposes. 14.04 is a 3.16 kernel the USB3 issues are not fixed ‘till 3.19. The graphics drivers were released by intel 17 March so not in 14.04 but vesa seems to work OK. At the mo I cannot use 15.04 (I can get it to boot n run) but the sensoray V4L drivers are BW not colour. I need the sensoray V4L. I’m trying to work out if my hardware is at fault or Broadwell+IRIS+14.04 is at fault.

Re: [SLUG] 5th Gen i3
Hello, I have a D34010WYKH as my daily driver - I'm running Arch Linux and have no issues whatsoever (but my kernel is 4.0.1-1 - thanks for reminding me to update!) I'm happy to provide any info at all you need (version of packages, kernel modules etc), but I'd say it all comes down to your kernel. You could always move to Arch ;-) From: slug-boun...@slug.org.au slug-boun...@slug.org.au on behalf of James Linder j...@tigger.ws Sent: Sunday, 24 May 2015 11:29 AM To: slug@slug.org.au Subject: [SLUG] 5th Gen i3 Hi I’m using 14.04 on a 5th i3 NUC.
