Happened twice today.

What sucks about MacOSX troubleshooting is that you I feel like a total n00b. On Windows I knew how to fix things and a crash like this happened maybe once or twice in four (4!) years with my laptop's XP (Professional install). I am not even sure if it happened really twice, I am pretty sure it only crashed once. Yeah, I know, I am a lucky bastard but what can I say. Also, my XP-install is four years old! It's the IBM install that came with my nifty X40.

Anyway, back to the crash:

(Summary in case the link stops working: Disable IPv6 on your Airport in System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP)

Not sure why I had IPv6 in there to begin with. But now it's off! IPVv6 is dead anyway (sorry, I could not resist).

Here are some things I encountered during my Leopard update.

I had no 10.4?!

The installer initially claimed I didn't have 10.4 (Tiger) installed. I rebooted a couple times (using MS Windows logic), but couldn't get it to recognize the installed operating system. I finally managed to pass this step, by clicking back  from the "start" screen where you go back to the initial language selection. Clicked "English" again and then the installer checked once more and found it. This is to be filed in the WTF department.

4 minutes remaining ...

Close to the end of the install, it claims that it will only take four more minutes. Don't get excited yet, and don't worry too much either. Each of those four (Apple) minutes took about 20 (real) minutes to pass.

Perl goodness

Whenever I open a shell now it says:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LANG = "UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I'm not sure where this error comes from. I have tried to install them through fink, but I am now in the process of fixing fink first (gcc seems to have disappeared) and will let you know what I find later on. If anyone has a clue, feel free to comment.

Aside from those quirks the update went pretty well. And Leopard is pretty awesome. I totally dig spaces, stacks, the new preview feature and (of course) time machine. It looks pretty slick too.
