    I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.

    I tracked down why.

    It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.

    The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.

    And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, disappear.

    The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.

    I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
