Timeshift didn't work, I really don't know why my linux system seems to have become unstable...I'm really fed up with it all to be honest.

Maybe in 20 years, we will move to Haiku OS or ReactOS  :P

@Steve Elliot - Part of my job is remote support and diagnostics so if you want I'll be more than happy to arrange a time to remote access your Linux and see if I can sort out your issue? - If you're interested then PM me your number and a time to call :)

I repeat myself a 3rd time (or maybe Qube can "extract" these posts into a new thread to not further derail them): open up a new thread to keep stuff clean here.


@ Qube
So you call people that they have an infected computer and you have work for MS and are now trying to help via remote control ? ;-)

I assume that the binary blob for his NVidia card freaked out and this leads to problems - maybe try the open source drivers first? Or if you used the FOSS ones, use the binary blob from the chip vendor.

I am still on Mint 18 and for now  do not intend to upgrade.

As you see I am using nvidia (binary blob) rather than nouveau (foss).

I'll have a look at your suggestions when I'm in a better mood for tech problems Derron.  And thanks - you too Qube.

A small part of what I do is remote support and my LogMeIn account has over 300 PC's on it spanned across various companies. Why is that odd?

Was just kidding about these "I am an MS employer and your computer is infected, we can repair it if you do this and that"-dudes trying to install crap on your computer.


@ Steve
Yes you can (come back to us when in the right mood).

An Apple developer account to sign apps is free and the upcoming "notarized" apps is also a free service which automatically scans your app and marks it as clean.
Cool. Do you have a link which provides more information, please?

As far as I can see, to get a certificate you need to be signed up to the program.

Thanks.

Lol, I get you now. I read your post half asleep and totally missed what you were getting at :P

Ah, looks like I was a little misleading with what I said. Apparently from Xcode 7 you could sign for free but the big gotcha here is that the certificate only last a week before expiring, so kinda pointless for any real world sharing of your app. The notarized service which will be enforced in future iterations of MacOS is a free service. I've always had a full developer account so never came across the week expiring on the free developer ID account :(

Are you allowed to have "build bots" using your developer account? That way you could "share" your credentials indirectly allowing for signed apps (of course this only should be done for "trustworthy apps" or in a "open way" so people know that it is not _your_ app but a "from my build bot" app).


@ fee
Maybe raise some money from the NG-Mac-users - seems you do not have a reason to be an official mac-dev for other stuff, so it's $99 just for NG and I think it's ok to at least ask the (very small) community to donate some bucks - if they are interested in the benefits they get with it.
Are there ways around it? How do other compiler chains do it?

You are allowed to assign team members within your account so I assume you could crowd fund a full developer account for sharing.

Maybe offer to make brucey a team member of yours? (Dunno what inflictions/side-effects it has for the "account owner")

Hey, I'm new to these forums and community really. Have been working on an RPG in my spare time for years now in Blitzmax and am trying to launch NG on Mojave. I seen Brucey wrote that you can launch it from the terminal? I don't know much about the terminal but attempted to launch it by entering "open /Applications/BlitzMax/MaxIDE.app". Get the same error. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it impossible to launch until the app is signed?

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I just would really love to continue work on this passion project of mine. Thanks.

Derron

Somewhere he stated that you have to run the exact binary ("maxide.app" is a folder with some stuff in it).

MickMuze

There is a folder called maxide. There are no folders called maxide.app. I've had no luck finding a binary to launch in the terminal :(

I would be one Mac user willing to chip in to get this signed.
