Karmic!
At 2.37pm we started upgrdaing to Karmic Koala!
Impressions:
The download took around 7 hours (probably because the whole planet was upgrading at the same time)
Once installed and I had finished getting the wireless card to see my Hub (As I always have trouble with), the first thing I notice is that the graphics performance is drastically improved, the screen looks more crisp and multiple windows seem to slow the system down less!
I have high hopes for this Koala!
Popcorn Hour (PCH) and YAMJ, gotchas!
Ok I have just set up PCH with a YAMJ frontend and there are a few simple gotcha’s!
1) PCH doesnt like spaces in file names!
2) Map the PCH to itself as a network share (?)
3) Index Yamj to that share
4) run YAMJ on the PCH from the network share!
5) Put the index.htm into the root of your share.
