GOING DOWN BOYS

[Gantry]

Upgrading to Windows 8.1 so my main machine is going down for a bit.  Since this machine hosts the Linux VM in which the forums reside, that will go down as well.  I have no idea how long it will take, you'll be fine.

But what if I'm not fine...

Just picture Gantry's computer as a little boy and he's punching it over and over.

Tried to update my video card driver, bluescreened Windows 8.1 - had to manually repair the databases.  Sorry about that, back to normal

[Gantry]

And I'm going to try again in a few hours, but I'll shut down the Linux VM first.

Sounds like a twink film.

OK 0-2 on the video driver upgrade front, guess I live with it

[Gantry]

I lied, found some beta drivers, GOING DOWN AGAIN BOYS

[Gantry]

Well that barfed too, forced a system restore.  Not a fan of AMD's drivers, not a fan at all.  Guess I'm done fucking with it this morning.  Back to work

[Gantry]

And apparently that system restore fixed my video issues, so I'm done with this fucking guy.  Carry on with your lives people, carry on with your lives...

Did it get any on your dick?

I'd like to slip in a software update before the Series tonight. Might take things down at, say, 5:30 central. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. Then I can debug while I sit on the couch yelling at the Cardinals.

[Gantry]

Looks like there's a 2.0.6 update - that what you are talking about?  They usually take a minute to install via the Package Manager, but you are fully welcome to tackle. 

While we're at it - know where to sign up to get updates about the releases?  I used to get an email many accounts ago, can't find the proper place to join now.

[nightwulf]

Yeah, the 2.0.6 update should be quick. I want to replace the mostly-unused FlashChat mod too, might explore that.

I still get e-mails about updates, that's how I found out about this one. I don't think there's a specific list, you just sign up for their forum and make sure "receive forum announcements" is set in your profile.

[Gantry]

OK I'll check that out - I think I *may* have hand removed some of the Flashchat stuff in the php files when I was cleaning up.  Probably should have told you, but thought it was long dead.   Good luck...

[nightwulf]

Yeah, the problem is now I can't uninstall it. Keeps telling me the package was removed, but obviously it's still there, usual tricks like reinstalling then uninstalling are not working. I'll uninstall manually, will just need to browse the installer for changes made and undo them.

[Gantry]

I think I couldn't uninstall it either, which is why I just hand removed stuff when I saw it in case it was causing issues with the https update.  Good luck is all I can say...

Got myself on the email notify list for SMF announcements, should have done that ages ago. 

[nightwulf]

We're back, sorry, everyone hug Gantry for making nightly backups.
