HorseDickSandwich posted:Would anyone recommend installing Lion on a C2D unibody MacBook? I was wanting to put it on my mom's computer, but I'm not sure how well it would run. Lion runs better than SL on mine, and I only have 2GB ram at the moment; although, that may be due to the fact that I did a clean install. It's totally useable in any case.

My iTunes keeps having a gap at the bottom later after it is started full screen. Maybe cause I quit it while fullscreen and then started it back up, or cause I shut the lid to my machine. The gap is exactly the size the dock would be, but instead of the dock it has that fabric background like whats behind safari pages.

Safari 5.1 is quite fast most of the time, but it seems to be hanging on one page or another MUCH more often than 5.0 did. I don't know if that has to do with ClickToFlash or what (don't think so - some of the sites where this is happening don't have any active Flash that I'm aware of), but it's *very* annoying (and often, when it hangs, it ends up reloading ALL tabs). Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior and/or has a fix for this? edit: https://www.politicalwire.com is a good example of a site that ALWAYS slows Safari 5.1 down, but I don't see any Flash there.

The new threaded setup at least lets me switch tabs. I installed Flash Player 11: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/ I don't know if it helps, but it adds 64 bit support.

actionjackson posted:So I assume it's just a bug (or missing feature) but I can't find a way to exit full screen mode in Chrome while using Lion, the arrow button I used to get there in the first place disappears. Didn't see this answered, but you can do View -> Exit Full Screen or Shift + Command + F

So it doesn't go on it's own space, it actually takes up your regular desktop. I just wish they haven't done the button at all.

So it doesn't go on it's own space, it actually takes up your regular desktop. The developers have noted this and say that they are working on making a Lion compatible version of Chrome. I believe they said, too, that the full screen button that is present now will be removed in the next version until they "get it right". Chrome also doesn't play nicely with some of the new touch gestures, in addition to the Spaces issue you mention Ninja edit: http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/21/chrome-os-x-lion/ Chrome's scroll bar also doesn't disappear/appear like it is supposed to.

They've said they'll be removing the Lion full screen button until they can rewrite the full screen mode to work properly within Lion. It should disappear in the next couple weeks. Edit: Beaten.

If you look at the bug notes, that one guy was fighting for his current implementation of fullscreen so I guess they didn't actually see anything "wrong" with what they shipped Looks like it's only now that people are complaining that they're being all "oh hey I guess maybe we shouldn't use a native fullscreen icon for something that doesn't conform to the expected fullscreen behaviour

Having some severe issues with my computer and I need to get it fixed ASAP. Last night while my Mac Pro 1,1 was supposed to be asleep, it just decided to restart. I checked it this AM and instead of 6GB RAM it had the 2GB that came with it. I pulled out the machine, dusted it out and re-seated the RAM, it says 6GB now. But Final Cut Pro will not play any HD video anymore. It just stops immediately, plays 2 frames and stops. I'm in the middle of a couple of really big projects and I just cannot have this happen. I ran Tech Tool Deluxe and it said there's no problem, I ran permissions repair, I just can't figure out why last night the computer was fine, restarted overnight, and now will not play HD video in Final Cut. Could something have happened to my machine? I was just editing this stuff last night and it was fine, woke up and now it's all hosed.

The volume licensing page says I can download the installer package for Lion and deploy it to multiple machines without having to go through the Mac App Store on each machine. Do the machines I'm deploying it to still need to be running Snow Leopard, or can I install Lion on Leopard machines in this way?

pretty sure you'll need to image a flash drive or burn a dvd and clean install for leopard and earlier machines.

I just read that Mac OS X Server 10.7 doesn't support acting as a Primary Domain Controller, and no longer has NFS GUI management. We spent a gently caress load on Apple Xserves and used them as PDC and NFS servers. I've been moving to Dell servers to have a better Windows/PDC experience, but I was wanting to stick with Mac OS X Server for the nice NFS GUI. What does NFS management look like now? The 10.7 Server Admin Tools are a busted loving mess, so I haven't been able to do poo poo with them. They are seriously pre-beta "quality".

Coughing-up Tweed posted:Anyone else using Clusters? It's a utility that compresses your files with the HFS+ compression scheme introduced in Snow Leopard. I've been using it for over a year and have saved 18 GB on a 100 GB HD that would be nearly full without it. Backups from CCC work perfectly, and I haven't had any problems at all with compatibility (though you may have to decompress a file before using it on a pre-10.6 system). timb posted:There has to be a way to do the compression from the CLI.

Speaking of which, if you feel like Safari is hogging too much memory and you want to free it without restarting (but don't have anything you just typed in the tabs), just kill that process. It's a really ghetto way of forcing a memory purge but it works. bassguitarhero posted:Having some severe issues with my computer and I need to get it fixed ASAP.

I've tried restarting, logging out, etc. to no avail: I was having this error for a while, and I ended up having to reinstall Lion to get it working again. Everything I researched, even though I didn't fix it, leads me to thinking it's an audio hardware problem. Try plugging in headphones and unplugging them. Or Option-Click on the volume menubar icon, and make sure your inputs and outputs are correct.

Xenomorph posted:I just read that Mac OS X Server 10.7 doesn't support acting as a Primary Domain Controller, and no longer has NFS GUI management. Another fun tidbit about the 10.7 Admin Tools: you can't access a 10.6.x Server. I found that wonderful fact this morning. I setup Lion as a OD Master, but the client lost it after a couple of hours, and that caused the AD authentication to fail. Also, adding the OD master on client puts the server in the list, but does not actually bind it, which is loving retarded. This is just another gently caress you to enterprise/education customers following the death of Xserves and the clusterfuck that is FCP X.

Oddly enough, turning private browsing off automatically logs me back in to this site. That's not a glitch. Private Browsing is 100% segregated from your cache, both read and write. When you turn it on, your browsing session moves to a clean and empty sandbox that stays persistent only while private browsing is on. When you turn it off, the sandbox is purged and you move back to your standard cache.

Xandu posted:Is there no way to disable Resuming by program? Sometimes it's useful to have everything already open when I start a program, but with other things, it's mostly just irritating. Disable (or enable) Resume by holding down the Option-key while you quit If you hit the Option-modifier when you quit a program (ie. Command-Option-Q or using the menu), it'll not use Resume for that specific session. Conversely you can turn Resume off globally in the Preferences and only have it enabled whenever you Option quit out of a program. I've got it turned off by default. You can also use this method if you need even more control (I prefer the first method): quote:Disable Resume for single apps
