Oracle Virtualbox 4.3.22 network activated and deactivated every a few minutes problem.

When I upgrade the Oracle Virtualbox to 4.3.22, I got "connection 'Wired connection 1' activated" and  "connection 'Wired connection 1' deactivated" in my guest OS, Kubuntu 14.04. In syslog, the following messages are repeated. This happens every a few minutes.

Activate and deactivate network frequently
Host OS: Windows 7
Guest OS: Kubuntu 14.04
Oracle Virtualbox 4.3.22r98236
Also I found the same problem with CentOS: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=51112

But, this doesn't happen Oracle Virtualbox 4.3.20r96997. So I reverted to 4.3.20r96997.

Same problem here since updating to VBox 4.3.22. Windows 7 Host and Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS have all updates and I reinstalled the latest Guest Additions. Next I am going to try to load the apt package version of Guest Additions.

Backdated to 4.3.20 and the problem went away. Similar issues reported on the virtualbox forums, on many different client O/S, so I'm confident this is a VBox issue, not a Kubuntu issue. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=66067

Hi!

I had the same problem. After upgrading VBox to 4.3.30 it is gone :)

Geometric Multiplicity: eignvectors (2)

If eigenvectors of a matrix A are independent, it is a happy property. Because the matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix S that column vectors are eigenvectors of A . For example, Why this is a happy property of A? Because I can find A's power easily. A^{10} is not a big deal. Because Λ is a diagonal matrix and power of a diagonal matrix is quite simple. A^{10} = SΛ^{10} S^{-1} Then, why if I want to compute power of A ? That is the same reason to find eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are a basis of a matrix. A matrix can be represented by a single scalar. I repeat this again. This is the happy point, a matrix becomes a scalar. What can be simpler than a scalar value. But, this is only possible when the matrix S's columns are independent. Because S^{-1} must be exist. Now I come back to my first question. Is the λ's multiplicity related with the number of eigenvectors? This time I found this has the name. Geometric multiplicity (GM): the number of in...

Gauss's quote for positive, negative, and imaginary number

Recently I watched the following great videos about imaginary numbers by Welch Labs. https://youtu.be/T647CGsuOVU?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9g6KIvZ_703G3KJXapKkNaF I like this article about naming of math by Kalid Azad. https://betterexplained.com/articles/learning-tip-idea-name/ Both articles mentioned about Gauss, who suggested to use other names of positive, negative, and imaginary numbers. Gauss wrote these names are wrong and that is one of the reason people didn't get why negative times negative is positive, or, pure positive imaginary times pure positive imaginary is negative real number. I made a few videos about explaining why -1 * -1 = +1, too. Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by pattern https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by climbing a mountain https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 But actually Gauss's insight is much powerful. The original is in the Gauß, Werke, Bd. 2, S. 178 . Hätte man +1, -1, √-1) nicht positiv, negative, imaginäre (oder gar um...

Tezuka Osamu's Black Jack, "Shrinking"

I like several novel authors. My first favorite author is probably Teduka, Osamu. I still love him. The list grows by adding Hoshi, Shinichi, Agatha Christie, Hermann Hesse, and so forth. My first favorite article of Tezuka was Atom as most of the (boy's) Tezuka fans did. But my favorite is Black Jack. I try to summarize one story, it is still quite vivid in my memory. I first read this story when I was 13 - 15 years old. I re-read it at least several times since Black Jack is composed of many short episodes. The title should be "ちぢむ (SHRINKING)" or it might be "縮む(Shrinking)". (It is not so convenient to translate this to English, since English does not have a system to say the exact same word in several ways. So I just simulate it with capital letters.) Black Jack is a genius surgeon, but he does not have the license. In short, his medical activity is illegal. His skill is top level in the world, but, the fee is also out-of-law expensive. In the story ...
