Looks like my package went the wrong way and is now coming back.
The saga of the Wrong Way Package Continues. This time far more northerly than required to Kent Washington.
Left Hillsboro, OR and then Arrived at Hillsboro, OR? Sigh.
Sigh,

In ESO I’m using MiniMap by Fyrakin [Masteroshi430’s branch] now that I’ve restarted playing ESO.
It works for me and I’m seeing this for “Wheel Mode”
But my friend is using either the Jan 2 version or the Jan 4 version and seeing this:
So the square / rectangle version seems to work, but the Wheel mode is broken. Again for both the Jan 2 and Jan 4 versions. Never used Addons before.
I’ll see if I can add shots of the Addon settings to complete this bug report.
I updated Linux Mint 20.1 this morning on VirtualBox.
Update: Apparently this is about two weeks old, but not fixed as of 17 Aug 2021. Here’s a LM Forum post. I tried the work around to disable 3D and that works.
And this is what the menus look like now:
Rebooting does not fix anything. It is permanently stuck like this. Completely unusable / unfixable of course.
I’ve been using Linux Mint on VirtualBox for years and specifically LM 20.x for as long as it has been available. Sometimes there are minor problems, but this completely breaks LM on VB.
I created a new VM and reinstalled LM 20.2 on the latest VirtualBox. It worked fine as installed, but with the first update, it went back to the same problem. Here are the details:
After the clean install of LM20.2 on a new VBox on the latest VBox on a Windows 10 host the Linux Mint appears to work properly. After the guest updates – latest with latest install of VirtualBOX – everything is fine. Apparently. But the update completely trashes the graphics. I have no idea what caused it.. Maybe kernel, maybe something else. But I have work to do so I’m not going to diagnose it further. I’m just not going to update until I can confirm that this problem is fixed.
Here are the updates that LM 20.2 did after the install.
So apparently the only recourse I have is to REINSTALL THE WHOLE THING FROM SCRATCH AGAIN. and then NOT UPDATE IT.
Please do some QA on VirtualBOX before you SHIP an update.
Thanks

I just started a post today. And it failed. Just got a white screen.
I’m a user of Firefox and Ghostery. Ghostery is a privacy and anti-malware plugin that
So now I can’t post unless I “Trust” wordpress. This is new behavior. Always before I have been able to post and do all the other things with Ghostery enabled. I have submitted my unhappyness to WordPress and listed the trackers and other stuff that they are using that Ghostery blocked.
So wordpress wants to track you and suck in other stuff that is questionable, even if you pay for their service, which I do to the tune of $100 per year.
Not happy. And said so.

Post is back-dated by one year to keep it off the front page.
After logging in, if I hit the play button without waiting 5 or 10 seconds, the following crash occurs. Waiting always seems to prevent this.
This is not a new bug, but has occurred for many months now.

Virtual Box on Windows Host, running a Linux Mint 20 Client.
When rebooting the Linux Mint client, this always happens. It only happens when you “RESTART”. Shutting down with “SHUTDOWN” works correctly, oddly enough.
Continue reading “Virtual Box Bug Report”Back in October 2017 I built a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1800x CPU. The system has been great. With 8 cores and 16 threads and a nice Nvidia RTX 2060 Graphics card, it has been a real performer for gaming and video editing.
In January 2020, the power supply died and I replaced it with a similar model to avoid having to rewire the system power lines.
Today, I’d played FFXIV through the morning and just finished a 1/2 hour dungeon run – nothing special or stressful. And as I finished that and it suddenly stopped working. Just rebooted out of no where. No blue screen. Just a reboot. Boot loop. I tried to trigger a repair but looks like windows has removed “Safe Mode” boot. But after booting a couple of times, it displayed a message that it was attempting to “repair and restart”, but it just kept rebooting.
I assumed at this point that the SSD was bad, or so worn out that it was causing the error. So I tried SpinRite, a HD diagnostic that I have which boots into DOS from a DVD. No go. That booted, but then just looped forever with the message “Discovering Systems Mass Storage Devices…”.
Continue reading “Computer Failed Today”For the past few weeks I’ve noticed Windows 10 beeping at random times. These beeps don’t seem to be correlated with anything I’m doing. I finally did a google search. It turns out that this has been a thing for quite some time.
I could not get the troubleshooter to work. But continued searching found that the beeps were an indication that the Event Log was being used. And using the Event Viewer – just type Event Viewer into the white search box at the bottom left of the desktop – showed errors in the Application log. And these errors were ESENT 455 errors. So a google search of that showed that the problem was easily solved.
Continue reading “Windows 10 Random Beeps”See below for the solution. Spoiler – It’s a typo.
Back in April 2020, I wrote a little program to run a sequence of LibreOffice Impress Slide shows. For ease of deployment on Windows and Linux, I built the program in Java. And it worked just fine. Here’s what the program looks like:
You can follow the whole Saga of its development using this link. The program has been working very well on Linux Mint 19 and 20 and Windows 10 for a couple of months now. I’ve not changed anything since May 16. Here’s the github repository.
Continue reading “Strange Java Issue”
I have a bunch of computers. Not surprising since I’ve been a software engineer for decades. Windows file sharing has always been exasperating. It works, then it fails, then it works again.
So here’s an example.
I have had a little Gigabyte Brix computer for a couple of years now. I would like to set it up to play audio books so I moved it and hooked it to another monitor. I thought that a few weeks ago, file sharing was working fine, but now it’s not. I just need to copy the audio books to it so I can play them. So Crystal can see the GBBrix shares and read files from that system. But the GBBrix system cannot see any other systems on the network and so cannot copy files from them. All the shares are set “Everyone can read”.
Foolish me.
By “intransitive” I mean unable to communicate in both directions between two nodes of a network. Google cannot find this definition for me. All it finds for “Transitive” or “Intransitive” relates to Verbs in a language. Oh, here’s the definition. Number 2 – Logic. In either order a >> b and b >> a.
