Support: I just download "prerelease" style 1278 again. I don't know if this is the same 1278 or a different one. I manually turned off transparency in "RSI w/Trend". No difference. Like I keep saying, I didn't have any major problems last week. 1278 fixed the user study list lock up problem introduced in 1277. Thanks for that. I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the other stuff, but it hit me hard. 1278 introduced the freezing problem that's causing problems now. I don't know how to be any clearer. The freezing problem didn't happen last week. When the screen comes back, the normally green status bar goes red, starts reconnecting, then quickly goes green again. It looks like it's locking all of SC. I don't have source code for the 2 RSI studies I've been testing with. I don't know what they're doing under the hood. I semi-randomly chose them because they're interesting and it takes my source code bias out of the loop. Maybe they're the trigger to the problem? Maybe they pulled out something much deeper that y'all have been searching for??? If y'all are having trouble tracking down problems, ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT HERE! IT'S FRESH! You guys may not like WINE, but it's a tool and sometimes even useful. Use it as such. I'm not fond of all the smaller quirks WINE has, but I used it as a tool and it solved a problem for me... at least until this week. Installing Lubuntu.org (smaller Ubuntu version with the same back end) into a 4g VM and then installing WINE into that is trivial. Yeah, it may take extra time to do, but if it saves a lot more time trying to track down problems that are hidden, it's worth it in the end. On a side note, there's also a sales&marketing aspect to linux. Ever thought of putting an SC install on a linux live DVD/USB stick? Someone gets a virus or a disk crash, boot linux live and they're somewhat running again... by that, they would be missing their settings if those couldn't be copied off the main disk, but they wouldn't be totally cut off. Most linux live's can also be used as an installer and an option for a license free and far more stable operating system. Corporate customers may like the enhanced security. Something to think about for the future. |
