Hi, I'm trying to help to an elderly person which uses Debian stretch to access the gov.il interface, she has the biometric id card and I have a generic smart card reader (GemPC Key SmartCard Reader) that I wished to give her so she could auth to the system. I don't have a biometric id , so I can't verify if we can even use the browser to access the web interface. Does anyone have a biometric id , and can check if they can login using FF / chromium or stuff like that ?

Strange to ask this about Linux (Kubuntu 22.04 with all updates), but: Occasionally my always on machine starts working VERY slowly. No strange CPU or memory use in top. Nothing unusual in logs (maybe I'm not looking in the right places). Re-boot solves the problem. As "proof" that there was something wrong, shut-down takes several minutes!! And the boot then works reasonably fast. I tried re-booting when there was NOT a problem and then the machine shut down in a few seconds.

Void Linux Presentation at Phoenix LUG, 7/11/2024 7PM Mountain Standard Time
by Steve Litt 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Hi all, The Thursday, 7/11/2024 Phoenix Linux User Group (PLUG) meeting commences at 7pm Mountain Standard Time (NOT daylight savings time) online at https://lufthans.bigbluemeeting.com/plu-yuk-7xx . This will be a repeat of my 7/3/2024 Void presentation, but at a time more convenient to North Americans west of the Mississippi River. The past few months the Void Linux distribution has become the subject of curiosity and questions from folks wanting something closer to the metal, folks wanting to shed their training wheels, folks who want a rolling release that doesn't mess you up every few updates, folks curious about the runit init system, for folks looking for a smaller, cleaner musl based Linux, and from folks who just wonder what all the hype is about. I'm often the recipient of these questions because I've used Void since March 2015. I'll answer all these questions at this online PLUG meeting. If people want to ask me questions about the runit init system, that's also on topic. During the meeting I'll demonstrate a Void Linux Virtual Machine installation. It's important to remember that Void Linux isn't for everyone. Not even for the majority. For some, this presentation helps by showing what Void Linux can do and how to achieve it. For others, it's an early clue that Void's not right for them, so they can spend the time looking at other distros. I'll save plenty of time to answer questions posed by attendees, so this presentation can serve as a first step in evaluating Void Linux. Hope to see you there. SteveT
