BlackBerry Tablet Simulator shows black screen

By
On Windows 10 Enterprise version 1511 build 10586.589 + VMware Workstation 11.1.4, powering up a BlackBerry PlayBook Simulator 2.1 shows blank/black screen. The simulator was created around September 2012, it may have worked back in the day but with latest versions of the host OS and VMware it is not working using default configuration. The link from here mentions about supported graphics card, thus say, should support OpenGL 2.0. I am using a machine that supports Open GL 4.1 and still not working.

To have a partially working simulator, change QNX boot option to 2.
You can play with the simulator but developing an application that needs EGL does not work.

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message.

[2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

By
Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist.
