Re: [PLUG] Virtual Box hard crashes desktop system

I am not sure I interpret you comments correctly, but Win2k is my guest; Ubuntu 16.04 is the host. Ubuntu runs fine. Are you suggesting that I would need to install the Host to fix the Guest (or VB, whichever is the culprit)? On Sun, Feb 4, 2018 at 5:58 PM, Tony Schlemmer

How many 106 year olds spend any money? Pegged at that age you are not a target for much, except, perhaps, funeral services. Or you could say 30-something and get some "interesting" ads. On Sun, Feb 4, 2018 at 6:13 PM, John Jason Jordan wrote: > On Sun, 4 Feb 2018 17:55:44

I have window 7 laptop for work and when I tried to upgrade to Virtual Box 5.2.6 with a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS it ran for a day. When left work I shutdown the VirtualBox. When I tried restarting Ubuntu the next day I got nothing. The logs were empty. I had no choice but to create another 40GB

[PLUG] Firefox blocked me from creating an account

I just wanted to sync Firefox from my laptop to the new drive on my desktop. On the laptop I tried to sign in to sync, but (as usual) I had forgotten the password. Sadly Firefox has also forgotten the account, at least all three e-mail addresses that I tried resulted in 'unknown account.' OK,
