A note to Tucows Downloads visitors:

All good things…

We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We're pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity.

The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. What started as a place for people in the know to download software became the place to download software on the burgeoning Internet. Far more quickly than anyone could have imagined.

TeamViewer Host is used for 24/7 access to remote computers, which makes it an ideal solution for uses such as remote monitoring, server maintenance, or connecting to a PC or Mac in the office or at home. Install TeamViewer Host on an unlimited number of computers and devices. As a licensed user, you have access to them all!
  2. How to Open Zip Archives in Mac OS with The Unarchiver. Another option is to use the popular third party archive extraction tool called The Unarchiver to open.zip archives on the Mac. To do this, you will need to download and install The Unarchiver first. Get The Unarchiver from the Mac App Store; Launch The Unarchiver and associate it with.
  3. Pangolins are extremely difficult to maintain in captivity, and most die within a short period after capture. Most pangolin range states lack the capacity and infrastructure to care for injured pangolins that are seized from the illegal wildlife trade. Conservation efforts must emphasize stopping the removal of pangolins from the wild.

A lot has changed since those early years. Tucows has grown and evolved as a business. It's been a long time since Tucows has been TUCOWS, which stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software.

Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Hover offers domain names and email at retail to help people brand their life online. OpenSRS (and along the way our acquisitions of Enom, Ascio and EPAG) are the SaaS platforms upon which tens of thousands of customers have built their own domain registration businesses, registering tens of millions of domains on behalf of their customers. Ting Internet is building fiber-optic networks all over the U.S. At the same time, we're building the Mobile Services Enabler SaaS platform that is powering DISH's entry into the US mobile market.

Point is, we're keeping busy.

For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. We talked about shutting the site down before. Most seriously in 2016 when instead, we decided to go ad-free, keeping the site up as a public service.

Today is different. Tucows Downloads is old. Old sites are a maintenance challenge and therefore a risk. Maintaining the Tucows Downloads site pulls people away from the work that moves our businesses forward.

Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Retiring it is the right move but that doesn't alter the fact that it will always hold a special place in hearts and our story. We're thankful to the thousands of software developers who used Tucows Downloads to get their software in front of millions of people, driving billions of downloads over more than 25 years.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elliot Noss
CEO, Tucows

I have a penchant for VirtualBox because it gives me a playground for experimentation.

I can intentionally install viruses in the virtual machine (called the guest OS) with little fear of my real computer (the Host OS) getting infected. I can install entire virtual networks with little trepidation of breaking my real network. And I can test out different operating system before changing my Host OS to that OS.

It's great.

But the other day something odd happened after I spun up my VM…

The guest OS launched fine, well for the first 10 seconds, but then it unceremoniously burped up an error about Guru Meditation?

If you've ever seen this error, it's pretty disconcerting and hard to dismiss. You only have two options:

You can click OK or hit Ignore but both usually return the same result: the application quits. When you launch it again, it barfs up the same rude error you tried to avoid.

Some crazy spiritual stuff about a meditating guru.

What's all this about? Blob blast: regen mac os.

Getting spiritual with Guru Meditation

The first time I ever saw this error, I envisioned a Tibetan monk, perched on his aerie ledge in the Himalayas. His legs are crossed Indian style and his wrists are propped face-up on his knees. I don't know why but that's the first thing that comes to my mind.

I did some research on this and it turns out the phrase 'Guru Meditation' finds its origins from one of the first personal computers called the Amiga. Sold by Commodore in the mid 80's, these relics of time would sometimes spit up Guru Meditation errors on software failure.

Guru Meditation refers to an error so arcane that you were basically forced to look for a Guru to fix the problem.

Today, you going to help you become a little more Guru when I show you how to fix this positively baffling error. I promise you my solution doesn't involve meditation, burning incense or any obscure incantations. With the alchemy of a little common sense and some patience we can fix this problem in no time.

Instead of being solemn about this recondite message, let's get a little goofy and have fun finding the answer.

Getting Goofy with Guru Meditation

Nine times out of Ten when you see a 'Guru Meditation' error in Virtualbox it's related to your system memory. Stay by the water mac os. But we don't have to guess. VirualBox logs all errors to a little file aptly named Vbox.log.

Let's check it out.

I'm logged into my computer with user account vhudson and my Virtual Machine is simply named 'Windows 8.1' so my log file is located here:

Just replace 'vhudson' with your computer username and 'Windows 8.1' with the name of that refractory VM that keeps going bonkers.

Let's take a look in here to see what's going on.

Open VBox.log in Notepad and press Ctrl + End key on your keyboard to zip down to the last line. You should see the Guru Meditation stuff in proximity to the last line. If not, just press Ctrl + f and enter the phrase 'Meditation'

There's a lot of abstruse test in the log but if you look closely you can probably figure out what happened.

I highlighted the last two lines.

It says:

and then this:

The errorID in the first line is telling us the memory on the Host OS is low.

Hmm… so why is that?

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Windows Task Manager.

Whoa!

You'll probably see something similar to the above screenshot. The memory value is almost at the ceiling. I've got a total of 8GB of RAM on my Host OS and I'm at 7.6GB (which is only 96% full!)

Alright, so now we need to find out what's specifically causing the problem.

If you click over to the Process tab and sort by Memory you may find the culprit. A bunch of chrome.exe processes are usually near the top of the list busy slurping up memory, but in my case none had the avarice to debilitate my computer.

I can't blame Chrome today because after closing VirtualBox I noticed an immediate drop in memory usage. The graph took a veritable nose dive.

Ah, so VirtualBox is killing VirtualBox?

I exonerated Chrome by my new discovery and decided to take a closer look at the VirtualBox settings.

In VirtualBox, select your intractable VM from the left pane and then press Ctrl + s to open the Settings pane.

Click System in the left navigation and check out the Base Memory slider on the right side.

My poor VirtualBox was attempting to allocate half of my physical memory to the VM.

Ultimately, I was apportioning too many resources to VirtualBox. After changing the value from 4096 MB (4GB) to 2048 (2GB), my Guru Meditations went poof!

The Bottom Line

If you notice VirtualBox is experiencing an accretion of errors lately, check out Vbox.log. A quick look inside will often point you in the right direction. Even if the error isn't immediately obvious, you could always copy the error and paste it into Google to see what other people did to fix it.

In the case of Guru Meditation, you'll usually find that you can fix the problem by managing your memory allocations to the guest OS. Try decreasing the base memory value by half and see what happens.

I hope this helped you! If so, please share the goodness in the comments below. Oh, and if it didn't help let me know too. I like bad news just as much as good news. I really want to make sure VirtualBox works for you.
