Reinstall VS Code in Tumbleweed
Reinstall VS Code, but finally after many weeks and installs this time it worked.
Tumbleweed updating 294 packages!
Success!
KDE hot corners stopped working…again!
Over the past few years this must be the 3rd or 4th or 5th time I’ve had KDE just stop responding to my hot corners. Usually in Manjaro this time in Tumbleweed. It will work for weeks or months then out of the blue just stop working. It’s how I like to switch virtual desktops. …
Reinstall Tumbleweed because of Mint Install
Reinstall Tumbleweed because after Mint install, grub didn’t show OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. So now after that install Linux Mint starts very slow. Over 2min to get to signon screen. Reminds me of a problem I had with a Manjaro install using the wrong UUID when it created the Grub menu. So trying to look at the …

QB64 vs FreeBasic
Recently QB64 updated to version 2. They have a nice presence on Twitter. In the past I found Freebasic better (at least for my purposes) than QB64. Freebasic doesn’t seem to have a presence on Twitter at all. So I thought I’d see if the new QB64 still executes in it’s own little window…it does. …

So today I fresh installed Linux Mint 20.2 and QB64 installed with no problems. I must say I’ve had more problems with …
Forgot to mention cron job failure
Today I got my BLW website cron job output again. It is emailed to me daily but stopped for 4-5 days. I meant to look into it but forgot. This is the job run at 12AM every night that creates that day’s birthday web page.
My old graphics card
I admit this isn’t a very scientific way of diagnosing a GPU problem, possibly related to all my software problems, since the big update, that seem to point to some kind of GPU issue, lately. But…I decided I’d see how some old computer video games played. I first tried Torchlight and it played fine. Then …
Tumbleweed restore did NOT fix my problem!
Very confused! So I did a clonezilla partition backup before I applied those 2700+ updates, which I assumed was the beginning of my OpenSUSE problems. Partition restore went well. Sure enough, as expected after restore, Tumbleweed started telling me I needed to apply 2700+ updates after the restore. Except VS Code is still giving me …
