Matthew's Journal

I upgraded ming, my home desktop and server machine. Upgrades are often a bit tricky on ming, as it is in some sense the system I first installed in around 1998 or so. That said, things mostly worked, although I ended up with udev installed (which I've now removed again, as it led to confusing error message). Something is still complaining during bootup, but I can't find a log of the failure (it's one of the init scripts that runs before syslog starts).

More annoyingly, VM is buggered. emacs complains it can't find vm, even if I cd to the relevant directory and run it from there. xemacs21's VM (which the other account uses for reasons I can't remember) is also buggered, but it's barfing inside the VM start-up. That's quite annoying.

Also, ntpdate runs before bind, which means it can't resolve any of the time-servers...
