Success!

Can’t believe I hadn’t heard about Dbeaver until a recent Destination Linux podcast talked about it. A free multi-platform database tool that works on many different databases. Tried it on a SQLite DB, and it worked great. Automatically downloaded the driver needed. It caught my attention because it supposedly works on MS-Access databases. However I …

Installed proprietary Nvidia driver by following this. Once again not a show stopper but more work to install Nvidia drivers than I’m use to. I did this because I’ve seen similar problems with other distros. bill@bill-MS-7B79:~> sudo hwinfo –gfxcard | grep Model [sudo] password for root:    Model: “nVidia GK208B [GeForce GT 730]” bill@bill-MS-7B79:~> sudo …
