This is also valid for Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based distributions.

Anbox is a discontinued free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow mobile applications and mobile games developed for Android to run on Linux distributions.

To install Anbox we open a terminal from Applications

From the terminal we write:

sudo apt update

And then we need to install snapd

sudo apt install snapd

We can check the version of snapd that has been installed

snap –version

We are ready to install the beta version of Anbox

sudo snap install –devmode –beta anbox

And now we only have to install android-tools-adb

sudo apt install android-tools-adb

It is time to restart the device to be able to access Android Application Manager from the applications menu.

Now we can download applications for Android and install them in Anbox, to do this we open a terminal again and write the application installation command

adb install My_apk.apk

that once installed will also appear within the Android Application Manager

After importing a VirtualBox Virtualized Service, sometimes it does not start and shows the following screen.

When starting, the startup.nsh shell reports us that any EFI boot file is found.

We can solve that by adding the EFI boot file path as follows, for example for a MacOs VirtualBox type the command:

bcfg boot add Ø FS3:\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi «MacOS»

The File System could be FS0 , FS1, FS2 …. depends on your machine.

If your keyboard is not english, for example in a spanish keyboard use the following keys to type the previous command:

( ç for \) (SHIFT ñ for : ) (SHIFT ¨ for «)

Restart the virtual machine and it will run if the boot.efi path is correct.

If necessary you can delete the 0 entry by typing:

bcfg boot rm Ø

We can move if necessary the order of the inputs, for example move the 0 to position 3:

bcfg boot mv Ø 3

Many of us have installed a solar panel connecting it through a microinverter to a plug in our home electrical network.

Actually this is an on-grid photovoltaic installation.

For this I used a microcrystalline solar panel and connected it to an Enphase IQ7 Microinverter.

The problem was that after doing the installation I didn’t know how much electricity it provided , I didn’t even know if it works .
I tried to buy the specific measurement system to connect to the Enphase IQ7 microinverter, but it was very expensive.
So I installed a smart plug between the microinverter and the domestic plug to try to measure the current passing through it.

And it was effectively able to measure the electric current passing through it.

I could also connect the smart plug through WiFi to an application on my mobile phone (Energeeks 3.0) where I can see the electrical production at the moment and all the statistics of energy production.

In order to be able to use Windows and Mac OS simultaneously on a Windows tablet, we have installed a Mac OS virtual machine using VirtualBox on a Chuwi Ubook tablet.

Chuwi Ubook tablets come with the 64-bit Intel Celeron Gemini-Lake N4120 processor, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD.
They bring Windows 10 pre-installed.

These features allow them to run simultaneously Windows 10 and MacOS with enough agility to work comfortably.

As we have said Windows 10 comes pre-installed, then we only have to install MacOS on a virtual machine inside of the tablet so that they can run simultaneously.

Make sure you have a license to use both operating systems.

To do this you can download the Mac OS from Apple’s website.

I recommend the last steady one, MacOS Catalina.

Also you can download it from here

As a manager of virtual machines we will use VirtualBox for Windows.

We can download it from here

First we install VirtualBox platform packages for Windows Hosts and then VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.

Don´t click Ok, now we click Processor and whe choose 4

Finally we click Ok

Now we choose File – Exit (to close Virtual Box)

Having Virtual Box closed we open in Windows a command window by typing cmd

Inside the Windows command window, we copy and paste the following comands

(For Ubook X 12″ whith graphic resolution 2160×1440)

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"

Because Ubook is a tablet I recommend you enable the Virtual Keyboard on Mac OS.
Go to the Apple menu then open System Preferences
Go to “Keyboard” preference panel, and then choose the “Keyboard” tab
Check the box next to “Show Keyboard & Emoji / Character Viewers in menu bar”

I also recomend you to make a Shortcut to the Virtual Mac machine
and move it to the Windows tools bar to open the machine and
change easily with one click between Windows and Mac

Et voilá this is how your CHUWI UBook Tablet looks now

Microsoft does not allow you to uninstall the useless Edge using the wizard provided by Windows 10.

To do this, run a command window as administrator, with the cmd command and right-clicking the mouse as seen in the image.

Now in the command window we go to the path where the Edge installer is located, for this we type in the command window :

cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\89.0.774.77\Installer

The Edge installer path varies depending on the version of Edge, 89.0.774.77 may change, you just have to change the path to yours.

Once you are were the Edge installer is located, type:

setup.exe –uninstall –system-level –verbose-logging –force-uninstall

Wait one minute and the useless Edge will be gone.

If we want to avoid that when we try to update WordPress or any plugin, WordPress asks us for the credentials to update by FTP, we only have to add a line to the wp-config.php file. For this we open a terminal.

In the terminal we type the following command to edit the file wp-config.php: sudo io.elementary.code /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php

Now we add the line:

define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

So it shows like this

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define( ‘DB_COLLATE’, » );

/** Para que no haga las actualizaciones por FTP. */
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

/**#@+

We save the file and from this moment the WordPress update will be direct, without FTP.
