Jump Ring Quilt
Oh and as an aside, Alexa turned itself back on during one of the tablet's constant upgrades. Apparently if you don't want the thing running you have to keep an eye on it.

I plugged in and synced it and it didn't even show up on the desk top, just sat blinking in the file manager. Just for giggles I tried it on all the other linux machines in the house. It worked on DH's desktop and DD3's laptop, both of which are Ubuntu main, Xenial. It did not work on the laptop running Mint. Then I tried it again on my machine, running the lsubusb command in terminal this time. Success! Now I can add some mp3s to my music files and add books. Yay!

I keep everything on my desktop computer, so when they did that the tablet's usefulness ended. That is perhaps true, but except as a experiment to see what might happen when I connect it (ubuntu 14.04 recognizes it, ubuntu 12.04 did not, or at least did not appear to), so I really do not have any problems there. Ubuntu Studio 16.04.1, on a custom build. The tablet will not mount. It's icon blinks on the desktop, so the computer knows what it is and that it is there, but it cannot mount it so that you can access it. When I first got the thing back in August I did not have this problem. The tablet upgrades madly though, and will even turn itself on to do so. I really found that to be a boggler! Right around the beginning of November is when it started refusing to talk to my computer. I have just done a desktop software upgrade, so after I do a hardware upgrade tomorrow (new fan is all, Hyper 212 EVO, I'll either have to cut a hole in the side of the box or leave the side cover off to make it fit. Bit of fuss..) I'll try again. So far no upgrades have helped, but one never knows. The fact that I use linux means no help from Amazon on this. |
