Fedora 19 – Schroedinger’s Cat

Well, I tried to install Fedora 19 on my desktop, which previously had Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and ran fine. Bizarrely, Fedora 19 doesn’t like my graphics card it seems and even after booting the install after using VNC, it doesn’t come up with a graphical environment, even though I had LXDE as my desktop.

It would seem Schroedinger’s Cat has been at it — my installation is both working and not working, much like the cat is both alive and dead….

So now, my installation is back on Lubuntu. Maybe I’ll install CentOS instead of Fedora. At least until the Fedora team get it working, and who knows how long that might be?

 

10K Training – Day 17: Getting Faster – Day 13

10K Training – Day 17: Getting Faster – Day 13

Tracks: ZR (Beta track here), Endomondo, Strava

Target: 5km @ 7:43 min/km. Target Finish: 38:35 mins

Achieved: 9.99 km @ 6:08 min/km, 1:01:20 hrs Completion. I wanted to try to run a 10K today, being a bank holiday. Whilst I did it, I fell way short of my target sub-1 hour time. MyASICS has detected my general slow down in pace and offered to adjust the pace in my plan (which I accepted).

In addition, I did the second Zombies, Run! race mission, which was, ironically, 10K, and it fit in quite nicely with the run. Considering the missions drive by distance and not time, they overlay the music, rather than stopping it, so you can hear the music still going in the background whilst the audio is being played.

Next run: Tuesday – 7km @ 5:54 – 6:02 min/km
