He was aware of the problem and actually fixed it many months ago. He just forgot to update his website! Sent me new sources which worked fine.

Biggest OpenSuse/Tumbleweed problem…so far!
I’m trying to be patient but not having VS Code and Atom available is a problem. I can and am using other editors. But Tumbleweed has become my primary development environment. And VSCode is a big part of that workflow. I just assumed that I’m not the only person with this problem, and that it …

Contacted Jay Moseley about maketape.cbl
I contacted Jay Moseley about maketape.cbl which was a Cobol rewrite of his original CLI maketape program. He rewrote it to create a fullscreen input page. I’m getting “‘PASSED-BUFFER’ ANY LENGTH item must be a formal parameter”, at compile time.
VSCode and Atom still broke
Applied latest update in hope it would fix this problem. Also since neither VS Code or Atom works, both giving a GPU related error, I suspect from electron AND Nvidia was updated as well. However problem still exists. I even created a test user to see if perhaps a config problem somewhere in my account. …
Rewrote another Python program in Go
Wrote Go program to create proper Hercules ‘devinit’ command. Very simple program of around 50 lines.
VSCode problem
After latest update VSCode still doesn’t work and no error. Googled and saw a suggestion to use the –verbose flag. So typed code –verbose and it last message was…GPU process isn’t usable. Goodbye. I have editing to do, going to use atom for now! Except atom is failing also. Perhaps an electron issue. I have …
Now I can rewrite my Python toHerc in Go!
Now that I have a Go clipboard program that works, I can rewrite my Python toHerc program in Go. And because it creates a static executable, unlike Python, I don’t need prerequisite instructions to install the Python clipboard package.
Another Go clipboard package
Tried a different clipboard package that worked for me! Tested on Mint and Tumbleweed! This one didn’t work. There were two different clipboard packages. Of course the first one I tried…didn’t work! To recap (for my purposes)…Worked? Yes : https://github.com/atotto/clipboardWorked? No : https://github.com/golang-design/clipboard
One casualty after last big update
VS Code no longer works.
X-Plane 12
Worth mentioning that it has been announced. I’ve enjoyed X-Plane 10 & 11. It’s a big satisfaction to me, who at this point in my life will never fly an actual plane. It’s something you can “play” that you can actually learn something from so it’s educational too. But honestly, I don’t see myself playing …
