10.2.2 is out

10.2.2 is now available via Software Update. Install on my PBG4 400 went fine (of course, there are no spaces in any of my hard drives names), though optimization seemed to take much longer than usual.

Long optimization time

Yeah the optimization did take quite a long time on my PBG4 800. My mail.app works just fine though.

Is good on my B&W as well; BraindeadMac, had you moved Mail.app from the default location in /Applications?

Since where on the subject of 10.2.2 is it worth it for non servers to utilize the new journaled file system option or does it require you to format first..... I realize there is a performance hit using it, but as crazy as i am with my box the power button has been my only option more times then I'd care to admit....

Chris...... (sudo reboot is your friend......)

Nope, I'm not a fan of moving /Applications or anything that goes in it. My /Users is on a separate volume, but that's the case on both machines I've upgraded so far. Installation on dual 1.25 went fine and Mail.app works fine on it....

And for once, it looks like sendmail didn't get trashed!

Sharing hosed now.....

on my iBook - 10.2.2 (6F21) i cannot do the following now....

- Remote Login won't start (hangs on starting...)
- Windows File Sharing refuses to start (although smbd and nmbd can be started via SWAT, or so i think...)
- regardless of its on/off setting, everything in the Firewall panel is greyed out. (yes the panel is unlocked - and upon closer inspection, the firewall appears to be ON when OFF and OFF when ON... - no wait, maybe not.... grr...)

yuck.

Fixed this mail.app crash by deleting com.apple.mail.plist in ~/Library/Preferences

Holy ****, Batman

Wow, I thought it was bad when I mail.app crashed. Now I can no longer change any Internet settings (System Preferences crashes), can't change any Sharing or Network preferences (the little "click here" lock stays locked and nothing happens when you click it)

In fact it looks like I can't change any System Preferences which require unlocking to change.

Note, this is my Admin account and I never kept any of the settings locked.

Way to go Apple--you've successfully emulated Microsoft!

Disk permissions check - nada

i'm running "Verify Disk Permissions" presently and it's not finding a whole hell of a lot wrong with my / partition.

update on SSH - a quick and dirty fix to get it running is to start sshd via command line as root.

NO sharing prefs are saved across reboots. i usually have SSH, SMB, WWW & FTP turned on...

WWW turns on via Sharing Prefs.

BTW - i run my Users folders on a seperate partition and Mail.app runs fine, a little extra peppy, too...

Exclamation

people, examine your system and console logs to look for clues.

Enable Journalling in OS X (not Server)

There's nothing in my system or console logs with any pertinent error message. Actually there aren't any error messages in either!

On the other hand, diskutil is much improved. Apparently you can enable journaling by issuing:
Code:
sudo diskutil enableJournal /
to enable journaling on your / drive. You can change that to the /dev/disk?s? for whichever disk you want to enable journaling. Haven't figured out how to to recover journals yet....

and then

console reports this for SSH:

/System/Library/StartupItems/SSH/SSH: /etc/hostconfig: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `encoding="UTF-8"?>'
/System/Library/StartupItems/SSH/SSH: /etc/hostconfig: line 1: `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'

looking at a hostconfig file from 10.2, those lines shouldn't be there, right? the hostconfig i'm looking at isn't a backup but a stock 10.2 i keep off-world for emergencies. should i drop its hostconfig in and redo my networking?

logs are your friends, often, the only clue. though recondite at times, they're worth noting and reconnoitering.

as for braindead, hmm, did your syslogd blow up? look for syslogd in your process table.

i'm getting disturbing netinfo errors...

Nov 11 19:00:18 gunther nidump: NetInfo timeout connecting to local domain, sleeping

can anyone get this to squawk?

% nidump passwd .

hangs here with above log message

Actualization works well on my iMac 400, optimization seems slow as noted but all works well.

but i'm not seeing any problems since i got myself back on my feet. i enabled Journaling:

Code:
sudo diskutil enableJournal /
and i've been knocking around for an hour now, waiting for this rumored (FUD if you ask me) 10% performance hit... all seems spiffy.

Through the years I've come to understand that 10% performance hits/gains aren't particularly noticeable from a human perspective. Seems like we only really notice with 30% or more.
