One down, one to go
Jun. 17th, 2011 11:09 pmThe 30 gallon tank (with fish in) is clearing up nicely, just a little cloudy left. Ammonia level is up, though, so water change tomorrow early. The 20 gallon tank (no fish) still looks like milk, has only a trace of ammonia. Both pH high (7.6+) so added 5 ml of white vinegar per 10 gal water to each. Will check pH again tomorrow.
Tomorrow's agenda includes getting a power head and sponge or canister to add aeration to the 20 gal tank and push this cycle along.
Wasted a chunk of time this evening on tun/tap and bridges in Linux. There's tons of "how to do it" documentation, all of which fails to get everything right or explain the address assignments clearly. I did finally get it to work, though, so now a SIMH virtual guest machine can share the outside network interface with the Linux host, and both can still see each other and communicate.
X tries to work too, but I begin to suspect that Ubuntu has altered the Xserver in ways that make it unstable when more than one instance is running on the same machine. It doesn't crash, but keeps getting confused about which display has the keyboard and mouse active. This is likely a result of typical Ubuntu arrogance in assuming that no one needs to use these features so it doesn't matter if they get broken. Grr.
Debian itself seems not to suffer from these flaws.
