Upgrading stories
Nasty things happen, always on Friday….
1. I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu 7.04 to the latest and greatest Gusty Gibbon, but everything got messed up (ok, I’m not completely innocent, since I tried to enable Compiz effects on a blacklisted video card), and the computer was crashing every few minutes… eventually I backed up everything and reinstalled from scratch (experiencing another gparted interesting bug).
Now everything is up again, except for Firefox refusing to start….
2. While I was busy with the Gibbon, some other hackers decided to organize a party in my hosting partition, and hacked my blog (is it the third, maybe fourth time in the last three years..). This time they were particularly nice, and all they did (apparently) was just renaming some folders… so I took the opportunity to upgrade to Wordpress 2.3. Smooth update indeed.
