My Peppermint Plex Server and Surface Go

- In this video I'll be sharing with you a couple of projects I've been working on, re-configuring my Acer desktop partitions to a separate root partition for the OS and creating a data drive for the Movies, TV Shows and Music, this will future proof future installs if I change my mind on the current installed system which is Peppermint OS now being a rolling release and very bare bones regarding applications I thought it was the perfect choice.
Installing my PCTLC-Ezarch Gnome onto a Microsoft Surface Go which belonged to my daughter who no longer had a need as she purchased a Mac Book, the Surface Go has wifi issues and my custom ISO based on Arch Linux created using Ezarch templates was about the only distro I could find that would work out of the box, seems linux firmware has not caught up with the Surface Go with a lot of distros to date even the front and rear cameras are not working, hopefully this will change in the near future. Hope you enjoy the video.

thank you sooo much for the video!!!! been looking for a distro that actually is able to have the surface go wifi drivers working!!!! I have tried all the "bin fixes" with no luck. you are a champion! all the best.
You're very welcome!!
Really interesting Colin! I do like these real life examples of using all that tech in real life. With the trials and tribulations ;-) But at least your not being spied on (yet) ;-) Cheers!
Thanks mate!! yeh not yet lmao!!
@@pctlc our friend eznix just had some remarks about Peppermint LMAO, also a great video. Keep them coming! PS: saw you commented already ;-)
Awesome video Colin! I like to recycle computer stuff too! So thanks for giving a computer a new life... :-)
(That explains my messy office! See it in some of my videos..)
I enjoyed the journey with both projects. I chose Emby as my media server software. I just did not like Plex and I don't connect from outside my Pfsense box so I did not see the point... Lol
On the Surface Pro I have a question? Did you try to use a Webcam for at least video chating? You did not mention that mate... :-P
I use Linux Mint on my media server box as it does not change that often like Arch. I have my music on my main Ubuntu Server and use Emby to pull the music off of it. Emby uses local paths with not issues.
I have been thinking of changing my Ubuntu Server to just a plain Debian install like EznixOS (HaHAHAHA) and use Webmin in a browser to run it like I do Ubuntu Server. I'm just tired of all of the Ubuntu craziness. Fact is, after LMDE 5 comes out of beta I'm dumping the Linux Mint Ubuntu version and that could go on the server as well... :-P
Once again Awesome video mate! :-)

Cheers mate!! no I did not try webcam with any chatting app, I doubt it will work, definitely need the firmware drivers. Emby have not heard of that however now I will check it out. :) LMDE 5 great choice checking that out very soon!!
@@pctlc Emby is a fork ot Plex and is a bit easier to use for me. I does 99% of what Plex does. They even have a App for you phones. I also works with your web browser at a ip address. I have been using it for over 2 years. Like other software ii use's the standard s01e01 (video) - (1980) format. :-)
I have used that format (DbaseIV days) on all my videos for 30 years so it was a breeze to setup Emby. It does have issues getting the metadata once in a while and you have to run it down because IMBD calls it one thing and the title on the movie calls it something else or close to the same... :-)
While a regular laptop uses a USB connection internal to the laptop for the internal camera, I was wondering of the wame was true of the Pro. Have never seen a Surface-Pro just just a bit of nosy thing... Lol
Cheers!

Hello heed help in my peppermintos update-manager icon disappeared from the panel how can I get it back ???
G'day radac robert, it seems the peppermint update manager icon is a custom made icon, you would have to create a new one, you can use the update manager in the peppermint hub to get by, I could probably create a quick video to show you how a custom update manager is created. Hope this helps for now.
@@pctlc If you would be willing to make a video I would be grateful. And at the same time to show others how this problem can be solved.Have a nice day
