Randomly uninstalled packages like mysql and random apache <br>> extensions. And then everything else that depended on MySQL. Broke MySql with their <br>> upstart mess, even after reinstalling it. Broke Apache, by not migrating config files. <br>> Erased my existing config files, without asking me, when moving to their new config file <br>> format.<br>> <br>> And to top it all off, the XServer now just segfaults when I try to log on, and I can't <br>> use any of the TTY terminals, as they are a garbled mess. Don't care to deal with it... a <br>> different video card will likely sort it out.<br>> <br>> Sigh. "Progress".<br>> <br>> This kind of stuff was why I stopped running redhat long ago.. because Ubuntu was so much <br>> better at handling things... for a while. Who is good at it now?<br>> <br>> Thanks,<br>> <br>> Dan<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br>> tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list<br></div> </div></body>
