Amazed at how old it was w/o the c option most of it dated from 2004! Didn't find any corruption, everything read ok.
What surprised me was that ssh'd into the rock64, running an armbian arm64 stretch install, chrome simply worked. But giggle doesn't make a chrome for i386. I don't really like their T.O.S. anyway, too darned invasive. But I'd use it if it worked. Why armbian? Its the only armxx installer that lets ME be first user! And changing that seems to be impossible on any other armxx install. Asking questions about it on the list I get treated like I want to pown somebody else's machine. Dammit, its my machine!!! Why the hell can't I be first user 1000????? Boggles whats left of my mind. > > Mark So I have not found anything yet. I did go into prefs and checked the block popups but didn't see any effect from that. The same "hover for circular" that I have to keep the mouse off of, still causes a crash advisory. I've a 2T drive sitting in the quick change bay, waiting for LinuxCNC to release a 64 bit stretch install, but its not happened yet. I think I have stretch figured out so I should be able to beat it into submission to a host file based environment. On this machine, I could just run the sims altho that needs editing to enable simulating such things as a TLO probe hit. Also the envelope outline is unrealistically small and refuses to go beyond it. Thanks Mark. I'm on a diet again, just found I'm up to 163, no wonder my back is giving me hell again. But I'd better go see what my missus wants for brunch, its too late to call in breakfast now. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
