If joining a meeting from a Windows PC, the Zoom client will automagically download and attempt to install. For those using Linux, you can download the free (not Free) Zoom client from this page. It’s available for a variety of distributions.
For those attending in person, we will most likely adjourn to Milano’s afterward for food and socializing.
Presentations/Topics:
JMB will show us how to back up Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers to Linux systems, using ssh – no WSLing!
- Access a Win10/11 PC’s ‘Shared Folder’ via a separate Linux (Ubuntu) PC:
- To backup data in the ‘Shared Folder’ to either a folder of the Ubuntu PC or a mounted SSD (LUKS encrypted) of the Ubuntu PC.
- Use free and open source software (FOSS).
- Not reliant on any cloud based storage.
We’ll also talk about our recent Installfest on March 7th.
As always, we’ll also have discussion time for Linux and Open Source news, projects you’re working on, and questions for the rest of the group.
