Updates

Well.. I sure hope that Adept and Synaptic start to work again some day. Until then apt-get and I are having a nice little affair.

REALLY like the new background for the KDM screen.

the computer boots... that's an improvement over some updates as well. hehehe

Re: Updates

Yep, the package manager seems to be having some challenges with the recent updates.

I noticed that Adept Notifer and Adept Updater started working the other day, even though Adept Manager barfed on the upgrade. I think it's coming together -- it's just acting kinda ...errr ... Beta-ish.

Oh ya... use the "B-word" sure.

Ya I noticed that Notifier started working for me this morning. I haven't been doing updates this week because I needed the machine for production. One might think that using an Alpha release for a production machine isn't a wise decision... and one would be correct.

Was synaptic broke? I installed the latest alpha yesterday and did all the updates and Synaptic still worked (and still works). Maybe I came in a couple of hours late and dodged a bullet on that one?

Yes, I think someone came down from their trip and put some nice colors

It is for kde4.
In kde3 it works fine

Me too, Kev, although I do have two backups of my important/live data, so it's not at risk of anything worse than a broken OS. HH is actually running really well of late.

On Adept Manager, the last 2 or 3 days of updates have been handled just fine. (I may be sorry I wrote that, later ....). I ran updates multiple times over the weekend and it never failed.

This morning I encountered an odd phenomenon -- I did Alt-F2 and attempted to run Kate. Kate never opened, and Alt-F2 is now non-functional -- dead as a doornail. I checked running processes and kate isn't in there, so it never started at all. I left the machine running because there is a bit torrent downloading -- but tonight I'll probably reboot it to see what's up with the Alt-F2 situation. I suspect it to be a KDE4 issue rather than a HH issue. Anyone else see something like this?

Yes, on kde4 alpha 6.
kde4 HH updated runs fine (except synaptic/adept)

Then again file watcehr on GG / kde4 doesn't want to open

so we have 3 different versions of kde4? I don't get it :P

Yes, on kde4 alpha 6.

Alt-F2 is a no go on my KDE4 either.

Adept is back in play now for me!

This seems to be the case. I'm thinking this is gonna have to get straightened out asap.
