Install apk in the Buick

Submitted by gill on

Install apk
If you got an android-based factory radio (which is the new interface which usually comes with white needle cars) on your TOURX like I do, you can install android apps(apks) by connecting your car to a laptop via a usb cable and use Android debug bridge(adb) to deploy any android apps you want to the radio.
Car side:

    Go to settings-> about
    Click on the version number several times until a message similar to "You have unlocked developer mode!" appears,
    Go back to settings-> developer menu

Install zfs on Rocky Linux

Submitted by gill on

From a fresh Rocky Linux install, need to add some repos.

# dnf install epel-release -y

https://docs.rockylinux.org/books/lxd_server/01-install/

Install the repo instructions for getting zfs

dnf install https://zfsonlinux.org/epel/zfs-release-2-2$(rpm --eval "%{dist}").noarch.rpm

Installing zfs pulls in all the kernel modding requirements like kernel-devel and gcc

dnf install zfs

Load the zfs module

/sbin/modprobe zfs
