Hi,
I just "upgraded" a perfect 9.10 to a less than perfect 10.4
The update went pretty smoothly using tigervnc over ssh so kudos to the team. Updating 1200 odd files in a pretty seemless transfer is impressive.
However, the new 10.4 has a few problems which is annoying since it should be fairly mature by now.
The main issue that's causing problems is that it can't reboot cleanly.
If I issue reboot from a ssh login it only reboots to a command line login. This is a major issue since sshd is not running in this state and I need to contact the end user and start dictating things down the phone ( at international rates ! ).
Also soft restart locally has the same issue and user needs to manually power off. A cold restart seems to be fine.
I seriously regret not keeping the 9.10 , but it was just supposed to be the intermediary step in moving from 9.04 to LTS release.
What can be different about a warm boot that breaks things?
TIA
