VirtualBox Company VPN Issues with DNS

Refer: https://superuser.com/questions/570984/virtualbox-guest-ubuntu-loses-dns-when-host-connects-to-vpn

$ sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Comment out, the plugins line below (shown before commenting)

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
# dns=dnsmasq

Notes: had a very similar situation with Lubuntu 16.04 (should be identical in other Ubuntus) but this fix did not improve the situation. At least with 16.04, the problem appears to be that NetworkManager uses a local DNS proxy (dnsmasq), and this doesn't play nice with VPN connections, at least in the default configuration.

Commenting/deleting dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Note: This fixed was applied too on the Windows host, but it did not seem to make a difference, go ahead and do both.

HL-2170W Laserjet Reset Drum

5.0 out of 5 starsBefore you buy.... Simply reset the drum counter

October 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love my Brother HL-2170W printer and always get Brother brand toner for it. After using several toner cartridges, I started to get "replace the drum" messages but I ignored them because the print quality was fine. Then finally the 'Replace Drum' light came on and the printer refused to print at all. I ordered this Brother brand drum, and when I got it I saw in the instructions that I needed to reset the drum counter after installing the drum. (Keep the power on and the front door open. Hold down the ON button until all four lights light up, then release the button and close the door.)

Just for kicks, I put the old drum back into the printer and reset the drum counter. Sure enough, the printer is now all set, printing just fine. Someday, when the print quality suffers due to streaking, etc., I'll actually open up the new drum that I have just purchased and install it. In the meantime, I'll keep resetting the drum counter.

I wish I'd tried resetting the drum counter before I ordered this. But it's good to have it on hand, just in case.

Visual Studio Code Missing Underline Character

Easier solution is to just set the terminal font to monospace
Refer: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/35901

Refer: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/35901

The underscore or underline character is missing in Visual Studio Code terminal.  I changed the fonts to match Sublime and the font was too small.

{
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Monospace",
    "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 15,
    "python.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python",
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
    "python.linting.enabled": true

Allow more than one version of Portable Firefox to run

Refer: https://portableapps.com/node/23783

WORKS!
This solution was given by other authors as well - but i want to repeat and emphasis that it REALLY WORKS - and its simple as 1-2-3:

  • From the directory where your "FirefoxPortable.exe" is (let's call it appRootDir) you go to directory "Other\Source\"
  • copy the file "FirefoxPortable.ini" to the appRootDir
  • change line "AllowMultipleInstances=false" to "AllowMultipleInstances=true" in the copied "FirefoxPortable.ini" in appRootDir

Sample Location:

C:\Users\mruckman\Documents\PortableApps\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.ini

FirefoxPortable-ini.txt
