Let's talk about my BABIES

(in order of acquisition)

---

Number One! ThinkPad T440p! (Not actually named)

This was a bit of an impulse purchase, as all of my laptops have been in the last threeish months. I knew of the trans girl stereotype of ThinkPads and Linux, and I wanted that. Especially because my laptop at the time was a crappy HP Stream (pictured underneath the ThinkPad) that couldn't run Windows without crashing constantly.

So I did some research and found out that this was the last model with socketed processors, and just kinda went for it! It arrived in much better condition than the pics suggested so I imagine the seller picked the wrong laptop out of the pile, but I'm not complaining.

It truly was nothing special when it was new, but I've upgraded it quite a bit since then! A 2C/4T 2.4GHz i3-4000M to a 4c/8t 3.7GHz i7-4800MQ, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD! It took me about five hours to install and configure Arch Linux on here, and that was with the guidance of friends who are a lot nerdier than me and I actually cried like, twice, out of frustration... BUT, it's been a solid performer ever since.

It cost me about $170 after everything I've done to it, but I still need to replace the screen on it with a 1080p IPS model, because the 768p TN panel is now literally the worst laptop screen I own. Apple seriously had better ones 12 years before this.

---

Number two! 12" iBook G3/500, "Baby"

Baby features in my current profile banner, as it's the laptop I carry around with me all the time to write on the go. The battery life is still pretty fantastic for its age, and it's super cute and small (the same depth as my ThinkPad not including the thicc battery, but about 2" narrower due to 4:3 aspect ratio).

I also picked this one up on a whim, because I was taken by an Apple hyperfixation, and also the image of a coffee shop hipster writing on an iBook. This one isn't a clamshell, love it or hate it, but I love it.

It's the very earliest model from 2001, with a 500MHz G3, 64MB of built-in RAM, and a CD-ROM drive. The original 10GB hard drive was missing so I went through the painstaking process of digging down to where it belongs and installing a 40GB IDE laptop drive I LITERALLY found in the trash.

I also spent $17 on a pair of working batteries and ended up with one that lasts for a good 4.5 hours when all you're doing is word processing, which I was and generally still do. Very close to factory battery life. I also spent about $16 on a charger because I didn't have one yet.

At first, I put Mac OS 9.2.2 on here, because it didn't have enough RAM for OS X as far as I could tell. Once I got the RAM upgrade (now 576MB, 64MB built-in + 512MB module), I installed OSX Tiger on here as well.

It's got some old OS9 games like Diablo II, Quake, Warcraft II, and I actually still own a physical copy of Riven on CD, so those all work on there. And I'm also using it to write, of course. However! It could not run Halo: Combat Evolved. Which led me to more purchases, lmao. I have considered doing a logic board swap to a faster CPU but that would be a daunting task...

It ended up costing me about $90, after the laptop, ram upgrade, charger, and working batteries.

---

Number three! 14" iBook G4/1.07, "Ghost"

Ghost is a funny one. Also driven by impulse, in this case, to have an old Mac laptop that could play Halo. I actually received it on the same day as the next one on this list. This is a 2004 1.07GHz 14" iBook G4 with 256MB of built-in RAM and a 256MB module for a total of 512MB, and a combo drive, I believe. This one actually came with a 1GB module in it, and an Airport card, but I swapped some parts around to make my G4 PowerBook more usable.

It was incredibly cursed, including weird freezing and crashes, refusing to install updates and to mount USB devices, and then it just stopped seeing the hard drive all together. I took it apart twice, once to take the hard drive out to discover it was the original 40GB Apple branded hard drive, and another to put it back in once it started booting in my PowerBook G4 (number 4 on the list), and all the cursedness went away somehow!

I still named it Ghost in honor of the cursedness.

I don't have a good battery for it at this time. Right now the only working 14" iBook battery I have (which I paid like $35 for) lasts about an hour, and the 12" battery I have in there now dies at a seemingly random percentage around 60% because the battery isn't reporting its capacity correctly. I did design and order a 3D printed adapter bracket thing so maybe I can stop using fucking masking tape to hold the battery in. It may become more used than my 12" once I get the battery, entirely due to the larger screen and faster processor.

I did have to replace the F12 key, because the original one was missing. This was made a lot easier by having the PowerBook G4 which we'll go over next. Now it's like an accent escape key for a fancy mechanical keyboard, or a gold tooth!

This one actually cost me the least out of all of them, at $69, including the battery I'm not even using, and it came with a second charger, which is good! Though, I guess with the 3D printed battery adapter you can up that price to $80. Or lower it to $44 if the battery doesn't count!

---

Number four! 15" PowerBook G4/1.33G, "Alice"

Alice was purchased just days later than my iBook G4, but showed up on the same day. And boy, she was a basket case. I have named her Alice because of "Al" being the elemental symbol for Aluminum, as she's a 2004 Aluminum PowerBook G4, with a 1.33GHz processor and 1.5GB of RAM. It originally came with 512MB of RAM in two modules, but I put in a 512MB stick I found in the trash, plus the 1GB module and the Airport card from the iBook G4 to make it a more usable laptop in the modern day.

The problems were immediate when I got it plugged in for the first time, as there was seemingly no display, until I noticed the dark screen started to change colors. There was a picture... there was just no backlight. To my surprise, the sketchy looking aftermarket battery actually worked fine still, and it was good for about 3.5 hours of use.

Getting it hooked up to an external display, I started to notice that the trackpad button didn't work either. It's a good thing these parts were cheap.

I actually tried fixing the backlight inverter myself, as the issue was there was a coil that had detached itself from the board. My jank soldering work lasted about 15 minutes before it made a buzzing sound and one of the little wire stubs came detached from the side of the coil. RIP.

A week or so later, the backlight inverter and trackpad cable show up, and me being able to actually use the laptop properly shows even more problems. It won't sleep when it's plugged in. But only when it's plugged in. I can't get into the boot picker. Five of the keys on the keyboard also don't work. As it turns out, all of these problems are keyboard problems, and that fixed all of them.

Basket case-ness is different from cursedness. I knew what parts needed replacing on the PowerBook. The iBook just misbehaved until it suddenly stopped misbehaving.

It cost me about $95, including the laptop itself, the backlight inverter board, trackpad ribbon cable, and a glorious (pure sex to type on) new-old stock keyboard.

---

Number Five! Late 06 15" MacBook Pro, 2.16GHz C2D, "Dolores"

My MacBook Pro. As with the others, it was an impulse purchase, though it's required the most extreme repairs of any of these laptops so far. It's a Late 2006 15" model, with a Core 2 Duo T7400, and pre-upgraded to the maximum of 3GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD. It came with all sorts of goodies, including an 85-watt MagSafe charger, copies of iWork and iLife 2009, the original recovery DVDs for 10.4.8 Tiger, and a hard copy of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. What it did not include was a battery.

Initially I tried booting it up from nothing, and it would get stuck on a white or blue screen sometime after the Apple logo disappeared, and the same would happen when I put the Snow Leopard DVD into the drive. When I put the Tiger DVDs in, it would install the OS fine, but the resulting install wouldn't boot either. And then I noticed the artifacting.

I knew that this was a possibility with basically any model of pre-unibody MacBook Pro. All of them have graphics issues, though the '07 and '08 models have it a lot worse than the '06 models. I end up complaining about this on a Discord server, and another queer nerd tells me that the boot failure is probably because of the GPU being marginal, and since it's an ATI Radeon GPU instead of an Nvidia GPU, a reflow might help it.

So... I take it apart for the second time that day, after the first time to repaste the CPU, Northbridge, and GPU, and I bathe the GPU in 350°C air from my rework station for about 6 minutes, letting the board rest for 20 minutes before I reapply thermal paste again and reassemble it. Now it boots into MacOS fine. I installed Snow Leopard and updated to Lion, and it's been fine since, though the 32-bit EFI firmware has caused some issues with attempts to get Linux working on the damn thing, though I'm told the GPU could just be playing nice with MacOS but still not good enough to work in Linux.

I tried getting a battery off of eBay, a cheap replacement battery, but it only half works. It powers the laptop, but it won't show up in the OS to show any percentage or capacity, and it won't charge either. So I bought a single-use battery. I'm trying to message the seller and get my money back right now.

It has cost me about $74 including the cost of the crappy essentially single use battery. I'll probably get an actually good one from OWC eventually, because I want to be able to use this laptop as a daily at some point.

---

Well, that's it! For now. I also have my eyes set on a mid 2009 white MacBook but that will be a later kind of thing. Not right now, while there's still work to be done on my other laptops.

Termux、AndronixでUbuntuをインストール

タイトルだけ読むと役に立ちそうに見えるかもしれませんが、ほぼ日記的なメモで、世間一般にはあまり役に立たない記事になっていると思います。

これまではAndroidタブレットにUserlandというアプリを使って、Debian+xfce環境をインストールしてたまに使っておりました。今はひょっとしたら改善されているのかもしれませんが、その当時UserlandでもUbuntuをインストールして使いたかったのですが、Ubuntuをインストールしてxfceをインストールすると、themeファイルの一部が欠けてしまうのか、はたまた別の理由なのか、とにかくxfceの表示が乱れて上手くいかず、悪戦苦闘した結果、結局Ubuntuのインストールを諦めて、Debianとxfceの組み合わせで使っておりました。

ただこの環境でもxfceの動作があまり安定しておらず、例えばファイルブラウザのthunarを起動して、thunarからテキストファイルをダブルクリックしてテキストエディターを起動すると、thunarが強制終了。再度thunarを起動すると、先程起動したテキストエディターが強制終了…みたいなことが起きやすく、だんだんUserlandを使う機会が減っていきました。

Userlandで作ったLinux環境は、アプリを起動して使いたいLinux環境を選ぶだけで、Linux環境を立ち上げてVNCクライアントアプリまで自動で起動してくれるので、アプリとしては非常に使いやすいんですけれど、もっと動作が安定したUbuntu環境をAndroid上でも使いたいなぁ、と思ってググってみたところ、TermuxとAndronixというアプリのことを知り、今回試してみた次第。

Termuxアプリは色々なところで紹介されているので、詳しい使い方などは省きます。

Andronixアプリは、TermuxでUbuntuをインストールするのに必要なコマンドを生成してくれるアプリといった感じのもので、インストールしたいUbuntuやデスクトップ環境をAndronixで選んでいくと、最終的にTermuxで入力するコマンドがコピーされるので、Termux上でコマンドをペーストして実行すると、Ubuntuやxfceなどのインストールが簡単にできる、という感じ。

で、当初AndronixでUbuntuの18.04をインストールしてみたところ、aptでインストールできるFirefoxのバージョンが59という、一体いつのバージョンだよ…という状況で、多少はFirefoxのバージョンが古くても我慢する気ではいたんですが、流石に古すぎるのでUbuntu18.04は断念。なら最新に近いUbuntu 22.04ならFirefoxも最新に近いバージョンがインストールできるのでは？と思ってインストールしてみるも、xfce関連の動作や設定があまり上手くいかず、こちらも断念。結局、Ubuntu20.04とxfceという環境に落ち着きました。

ちなみに、Ubuntu20.04のaptでインストールされるFirefoxのバージョンは112と、かなり新し目でした。最初からUbuntu20.04にしとけば良かった…。

AndronixとTermuxでインストールしたUbuntu20.04+xfce環境は、UserlandのDebian+xfceと比べて非常に安定して使えます。ただ、いくつか個人的に気になる点があって、以下はそのメモです。

・fcitx-mozcが上手く動かない。

他のサイトにも書いてありましたが、インストールはちゃんと出来ているように見えるんですが、何度再インストールをしても上手くいきませんでした。通知アイコンがmozcに変わるところまではいくんですが、mozcの設定とかを選んでも起動しません。ターミナルでコマンドを打ち込んでも、エラーを表示することもなく、ただ起動しません。仕方がないので、日本語入力はfcitx-anthyを使うことにしました。こちらはちゃんと動きます。

・psコマンドが使えない

原因はさっぱり分かりませんが、procがマウントされていないとかなんとかのエラー��出ます。タスクマネージャーとかも起動はしますが、プロセス一覧などは表示されません。ただ、pgrepやpkillコマンドは使えるので、psコマンドが使えなくてもなんとかなる気はします。

・TermuxでのUbuntuの起動・終了が面倒

Termuxを起動して、bash start-ubuntu20.sh などと打ち込むとUbuntuが起動するので、さらに vncserver-start と打ち込むことで、やっとVNCクライアントアプリからUbuntu+xfceにアクセスできるようになります。

Ubuntuを終了する時は、Termuxアプリでまず vncserver-stop と打ち込んで終了するポート番号を入力してvncserverを終了、次に exit を入力してUbuntuを終了という手順が必要です。vncserverr-stopを実行しないでUbuntuを終了すると、次回Ubuntuを起動してvncserverを起動した時に、通常はポート1で起動するはずが、ポート２、ポート３…と別のポートでvncserverが起動することになって、VNCクライアントで接続するのが手間になります。

なので、うちではTermuxを起動したら、Ubuntuとvncserverを自動起動、Ubuntuを終了する際には、vncserverも自動終了するようにしてみました。

やり方は、Termuxは起動時に .bashrcファイルがあれば、それを読み込んで実行するらしいので、Termuxでテキストエディターのnanoが使えるなら nano .bashrc と打ち込んで.bashrcファイルに、bash start-ubuntu20.sh と入力して保存。これで次回からTermuxを起動するとUbuntuが自動的に起動します。

次は起動したUbuntu上の .profile を開いて、 vncserver-start を追加。これでUbuntuを起動した時に vncserver-start コマンドも自動化されます。さらに .profile の exit(){ などと書かれているところに pkill Xtigervnc とかを追加すると、UbuntuをTermux上で exit と打ち込んで終了する時に、起動中のvncserverも自動で終了してくれます。以下はうちの .profile の例。このやり方が正しいかどうかは定かではないので、やる場合は自己責任で。

#~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells. if [ "$BASH" ]; then if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc vncserver-start fi fimesg n 2> /dev/null || true exit() { #vncserver-stop pkill Xtigervnc if pgrep -f tiger >/dev/null;then unset -f exit exit else pkill dbus pkill ssh-agent pkill gpg-agent pkill pulseaudio unset -f exit exit fi }

vncserver-stop ではなく pkill Xtigervnc にしているところがミソ。まぁ、vncserver-stop でもダメではないんですが、Ubuntu終了時に起動しているvncserverをとにかく全部終了して欲しいだけなので、うちでは pkill Xtigervnc にしています。

・VNCクライアントの反応が鈍くなる

これはTermuxと直接関係はないんですけれど、VNCクライアントでUbuntuのデスクトップを表示させている場合、しばらくなにも操作をしていないと、VNCクライアント上の描画の更新が途切れがちになったり、マウスやキーボードの操作が遅れて反映されたりします。VNCサーバー側の仕様なのか、使用しているVNCクライアントアプリの仕様なのか、Androidの仕様なのか、よく分かっていませんけれど、解決方法はあります。

Ubuntuの画面が頻繁に更新されるように、なにか動画を再生し続けていれば良いのです。動画と言っても小さなGIFアニメを再生しっぱなしにするだけで良く、なのでうちではrubyで同じGIFアニメファイルをただ延々と再生するだけのプログラムを作って、常に画面の最前面に表示するオプションをONにして、画面の端っこに表示させたりしています。xffceの上側のパネルにはデジタル時計を秒数付きで常時表示させてはいるんですが、この程度の描画の変化・更新ではダメみたいで、小さめのGIFアニメならOKという感じです。

そんなこんなで、core i5のノートPCでXubuntuを使うのと比べると、Android上のUbuntu+xfce環境の動作は若干もっさり気味ですが、これまで使っていたUserlandのDebian+xfce環境よりも全然安定していて、これならAndroid上でUbuntuを使う場合は、UserlandからTermuxに完全に乗り換えできそうです。
