Oh, good. Please do tell. Is it a VM/9p filesystem thing, or something else? AFAIK the only special thing about my setup at this point is the VM/9p (well and a custom .bashrc in the primary user, but I've installed both from normal XFCE session and from recovery mode root and had the issue. I've had the problem with three VMs). Regards, Daniel -- <erno> hm.
