      Upgraded Endeavour OS

      Checked time and the VM is exactly the same as the host. No asymmetry at all.

      Upgraded Endeavour OS

      By raymac46 · Posted

      OK I'll check on the clock when I next boot up the VM. It seems that about the only common theme is that in the process of updating the installation certain files get corrupted. The symptoms of that corruption vary though. This is the first time I got the errors about conflicting files.  Also I was able to force through the update but in the process the kernel was borked. But then I was able to recover with the help of the ISO and I haven't been able to do that before. The use of --overwrite is a blunt force object and I wouldn't want to do that on any system that was important to me.

      Upgraded Endeavour OS

      that IS interesting.  this seems to prove the theory that local package database and mirror repos are somehow conflicting.  Referencing my prior post about the time/date in Arch VM taking a while to sort itself when I open the Arch VM, I'm thinking there's a clue in that post; in that the LOCAL package database time/date is out of sync with mirror time/date.  This doesn't happen with bare-metal installs, because they're constantly synced in "real time".  But my Arch VM takes awhile to sync the correct time/date, so I usually manually intervene to force the updated time/date.  I only experience this in my Arch-related VMs.  My Debian/'Buntu VMs sync the correct date/time immediately upon opening the VM, no matter how long it's been since I last opened the VM.  That's my latest theory...   Now that you have Endeavour repaired, and know how to keep it going in VirtualBox, may I ask that you pay attention to the date/time of the VM, in relation to the ACTUAL date/time.  Let's test THAT theory?!

      I might add that I just upgraded my old Lenovo Flex2-15D that runs EOS on the rails and it went as smooth as could be.

      Just Dropped in to Say Hello

      By Cluttermagnet · Posted

      I found your website interesting, Mel. I'm a hands on kind of guy myself, but it took the form of a radio electronics hobby, some 61 years now. I love to design and build gear. RV'ing looks like a lot of fun! Many of the radio amateur operators who RV take their radios along with them. And there is also an interesting sub group of them who like to 'operate QRP'. This means voluntarily limiting transmitter output power to 5 watts or less. (Normal is around 100W).   I did some limited tent camping in my Boy Scout days, enjoyed it always. But RV'ing brings it to a higher level of comfort for sure. Must be really neat to scout out all those parks all over the west!   Clutter
