Waaaaaa! :'(

I updated to Gutsy this evening. All of my WUs crashed. I did stop them before upgrading, and fah took it upon itself to start by itself too [I even removed the service!].

Luckily at least 2 of them had only just started new ones. I lost at least one near 100% and the last one wasn't far behind.

So a lesson - anyone wanting to upgrade should do so AFTER finishing all your WUs.

Full release was today

You could just upgrade, rather than reinstall.

Less likely you will break anything.

Either you build crap PCs or sub-consciously cause problems

Never known anyone to have so much aggro!

The upgrade to 7.10 or changing to Server Ed?

The instructions in my guide for adding multiple clients can all be done via the command line.

EDIT: My instructions say to use

Code:

gedit FaH

or something along those lines.

In the CL you don't have Gedit. You do however get Nano. So, the above would be

Code:

nano FaH

for example.

When you have finished modifying a file in Nano, press Ctrl+X then answer Y to save the changes.

Well admittedly my guide is aimed at Gnome, so there might be one or two differences - most likely in regards to text editors. Gedit is the default text editor in Gnome. Dunno what Xfce uses. But I will assume it has Nano. So, whenever you see "gedit" in any code, replace it with Nano.

I think I might just replace gedit with nano in my guide so there is absolutely no confusion [and is as universal as possible].

Since you will be installing 7.10 - could you check everything else works with my guide? From looking about Gutsy myself nothing fundamental has changed that would affect my guide - as far as I can see - but better safe than sorry.

Given how popular Feisty and Gutsy have been, I may remove the separate Edgy/Feisty specific parts. I could always put them on another separate page for anyone who can't/wont run Gutsy.

Right I've now got both clients running from the CL in both VM's now thanks to your guide

And there's no difference between FF and GG for your guide.

The only things I came across was that 'finstall -smp' now includes V6 by default (well for the linuxSMP client anyway).

And when launching a client the -smp flag is listed twice, as in

Code:

Arguments: -smp -smp -verbosity 9

So it may not be necessary to manually add the -smp flag to the FaH file. That'll need to be tested by some brave soul.

Good to know nothing needs changing for Gutsy.

And I already know about finstall coming with V6 now. I am a little behind on my updates. However, I am all but finished the coding, I just need to add the content to the database
