Have cable internet issues? Want faster speeds or better performance from your NBN cable internet? need more reliable cable internet.
Do the following, worked for me. A few simple steps to faster more reliable internet. Do a Speedtest first so you know your current performance.
1) Get yourself some lanolin based spray, i used Lanotec, got it @ Repco
2) apply to the cable tips and inners, dont be afraid of giving the joints a soaking
3) Apply it to the isolator joints in your NBN box as well, iam sure you can work it out, it looks like this. get the spray into the holes
4) this is located in your NBN box.
Don't forget to do the joints of the connectors inside your home as well. Use a rag to cleanup. You might want to kick the pins slightly off centre a little as well with your finger as you put them back together.
Do the above to all connectors all the way to your NBN cable modem and you will get better results on your internet connection.
Good luck.
Quick howto - ArchLinux ARM (ALARM) on Odroid XU4 X11 Mate Installation Guide
This guide is the quickest way I have found to get the XU4 running with a lightweight responsive Linux Distro.
This guide will not provide hardware acceleration in Chromium
This guide provides hardware acceleration in Firefox
This guide will help you get a Citrix connection working.
Guide is currently broken after a recent archlinuxarm upgrade, lightdm seems to be the issue
As of 23 Feb this guide should work again. $ uname -a
Linux alarm 4.14.94-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 24 01:44:17 UTC 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
1. Install ArchLinux ARM (ALARM) as described on the website https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/samsung/odroid-xu4
2. su to root user, Install the odroid-xu3-libgl-x11 package - based on r17p0-1 (full package name is Packages (1) odroid-xu3-libgl-x11-r17p0-1)
|
su - Password: pacman -S odroid-xu3-libgl-x11 |
3. Install XWindows base packages
| pacman -S xorg xorg-server xorg-xinit |
4. Install Mate (pronounced ma-tay) and Lightdm
| pacman -S mate mate-extra lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter |
| systemctl enable lightdm |
| pacman -S pulseaudio alsa-utils |
7. Install popular packages
| pacman -S cheese firefox vlc inkscape hexchat pidgin thunderbird chromium libreoffice |
8. To install further (optional) packages, continue, or you are done, the XU4 is ready to browse the internet and use as desktop!
9. Install base devel package (this is for installation of packages from the AUR)
| pacman -S base-devel wget git openssl |
10. Exit su (root) shell
| exit |
11. You should be logged in as a non-root user (alarm is the default non-root user)

17. You might want build the optional packages webkitgtk2 from the AUR to get the GUI working correctly as well. Build and then. Install the package with pacman, It takes a long time to compile about 28hrs on the XU4.
