Another Project to Make My Old PC Faster

I have had a project to make my old PC faster. Now I bought a Mi TV Stick and I do not need a mediacenter device no longer. So I decided to make this old PC functional again. I searched and searched then found another toy to play. It is called  Cloud Ready . Cloud Ready is an operating system from neverware which forked from chromiumOS project that opensourced. They give free licence to home users. So it is a wonderful choice for me.  CloudReady is a lightweight operating system so it can run on old machines. It is a cloud oriented so you can boot your device and connect to internet. Then you can use your browser to see or edit your word/excel files online. Surf on the internet, watch videos and listen to music. So if you arenot a professional user such as AutoCAD professional, this operating system can be an option to install. Installation steps and needed files are on the developers site. Just read and install this system. Here is some screenshots of my new toy:

System Time Problem on Windows and Linux Dual Bootable Systems

 When two operating systems are installed into the same disk, a problem may be encountered about time.

How to Make a Write-Protected USB Flash Drive

To make write protection on a USB drive, you need some editing using diskpart program in terminal.  First, press windows logo and write command or find command line shortcut and click on it.

Then write "list disk" command (picture 2 below). See and determine the USB drive that you want to make write-protection. In my case, it is "Disk 1"... Use "select disk 1" command (picture 3 below). Use "attributes disk set readonly" command (picture 4 below).  That's all...

Windows 10 Does Not Allow to Use LG Sound Bar as Output Speaker

Problem & Solution  If you have an LG soundbar, you may encountered a problem when you tried to make a connection. I have an LG NB2540 soundbar. Windows 10 can easly connect to this device but when I want to listen to music, I can not hear any sound from this soundbar. I still hear it from my laptop's internal speaker. Last year, I have found a solution on Microsoft's Community. I have used my soundbar happily until now. Recently, I needed to do a fresh install of windows. So I needed to solve this problem again. The solution is very easy.  Remove LG soundbar from bluetooth devices section. Press start menu on Windows. Write "command prompt". Click "Run as administrator". When it opens, write this command without qoutes and press enter: "reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Bluetooth\Audio\AVRCP\CT /v DisableAbsoluteVolume /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f" Add again on bluetooth devices section. Well done! Source of this solution:  https://answers.mic...

How to Add or Resize Your Swap Partition on Linux

I have a laptop with an SSD and an HDD. SSD includes Windows. HDD include Ubuntu 20.04. For some reasons, I need to resize, merge, move the partitions of HDD...  This will be a "How to" post...  First, unmount or disable the swap partition. Because it is impossible editing while it is active.  Install GParted.  After selecting the right disk, do the changes like merging, resizing and moving.  When it was done, use "blkid" command to determine the new UUID of new swap.  Open /etc/fstab/ with gedit. (sudo gedit /etc/fstab/) Find the line which included "sw" There is a UUID which is old partition's one. Change this UUID with the new one learned with blkid command. Then save and close the gedit windows. Now it is time to control that new swap is active or not. Use this command: "free -m". If you see memory line and swap line on the screen, you did everything right. If not, there is a mistake in somewhere above.
