Barely into Capricorn, not aspecting anything (well, OK, loosely cj T. Pluto, lol), and in direct motion. Looks OK to me. Besides, we're backed up to the gills now.

I'll be turning the boards "off" about an hour or a little less from now. Somewhere between 7 & 7:30ish p.m. Mountain tiem, for just a couple or few hours, and I'll give the update a shot. It looks pretty straight-forward.

We be updated.

Good Going, Geekie! :cool

I didn't think it would ever happen.

I got FC5Test installed 3 days via HTTP (for the first time in 3 months). I was NOT going to update it.

So I find a couple of bugs and file them on bugzilla to get fixed. One was for a GUI editor. The guy mails me back and says, It's not the editor, it's the SELinux security policy install had an error, update to the new one tomorrow.

So I did. The SELinux was totoaly wacked for the update and wiped out my installation. Next window is Jan 16th, when they supposably release a beta version FC5Test2.

So I installed Ubuntu development version because I saw that the daily CD image was good to install. That was on the 2nd.
This morning a lot of updates came down and yep, I couldn't resist. They all installed and worked untill the logon , the only thing there was the background and mouse pointer.

So there goes another 4 or 5 hours of work.

Finally I installed a new desktop called KDE (the kids use this one alot coz is is windowie and has multi-media stuff).
So I turned up the screen and sound goodies to the max.

It's twinkling and purring all over the screen just like the site page. I only have one problem. The sound is rather loud.

Guess what is not working on this interface?
NO SOUND contol. lol
I stick my head out the window and listen to I-5 traffic roar for relief.

OK, time for some sleep until McDonald's get the grill hot.

Loud & Lights,

Darwin

Lol, sounds like you're having enough adventures in geekery for the both of us!

Shortly after I got the boards running after the update, I found a bug too. I thought it was something I did, so I removed my customizations, but no, it wasn't me, it was a bug. Happily, though, it was a known bug and the fix was readily available in a search of the ubb forum people's forum.

Hi Maria,

I wanted to respond to the earlier issues in this thread and say that I could help out with answering emails, because I have no techie skills whatsoever!!!

Great, Kel. I forwarded the 10 or so emails I had on to Ani. Ani, did you get those?

I got two new ones in the last couple of days in response to the one I sent out from the site after the upgrade, and I already replied to them. But I'll put you on the mail team as needed.

Maria

yes Maria, I got those. And even though you mentioned that I need not reply to any of those, I was just wondering whether I could write back to a couple of them --- I was thinking on the lines of contributions to Metamorphosis... There's a PM in your mailbox.

Oh yes, of course, please do reply to as many as you have a reply for. And feel free to send on to Kel any that you think you don't really have a reply for but someone else might.

I saved those because they were all valuable, but I just didn't know what we were going to do when with Metamorphosis, and like the guy asking about a leap year birthday, I just hadn't taken the time to look it up, but we could look it up or refer him to astro.com or whatever. They're just things I hadn't gotten to, and I just wanted to say you weren't obligated to do any better than I'd done, lol.

But yeah, I thought they were all interesting and it would be nice to answer them.

Now I probably should have read your pm first before answering, but will do that now.

Maria
