1) iChat AV lost its prefs.
2) When I launched AIM from the menu bar, the menu started flashing, as if it were relaunching repeatedly.
3) Safari sometimes refuses to quit.

Another:

After I installed 10.2.8 I thought the display looked a bit washed out...thought I might have been imagining it. But then I noticed I was unable to change the color profile on PB 17", it was stuck on the Generic RGB Profile. Clicking on the other profiles did not do anything, it would not change the display, or stick when closing the Display preferences. Should be set to the Color LCD profile.

After I plugged an LCD screen into the DVI port, it restored the ability to change the Display profiles, even after it was unplugged. So give this a try if you have noticed a change in your display.

I haven't had one single problem since upgrading to 10.2.8 the night it was released. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

I had no problems but my battery indicator is hosed. It jumps from 4 hours to 2 and sometimes even goes up to 5 lol.

Go read my thread in teh powerbook forum on the battery issue and how macfixit posted this morning that apple is working on it.

Personally I haven't had any of those problems or any ones actually. I also use Manual IP address though so I think that is how I escaped the DHCP bug.

I put 10.2.8 on two of my clients computer and they have not had one problem. It was a Mirror Door Mac and a 14" iBook. Both these machines were almost new and had 10.2.2 on them.

My 17" Powerbook was completely hosed by this update and I had to restore it from a backup. It is now running very nice on 10.2.4. This is a clone of what it was running before the update.

I'm guessing that the problems are caused by our systems being not a clean version of X when we did the update.

I've got it on my original Dual GHz. I wouldn't have known I'd done an upgrade if I hadn't done it myself. No problems, absolutely no different behavior.

Yea, what he said but on 3 different machines no probs. Not that buggy I guess.

Battery problem on a PowerBook G4, where battery life is reduced to about half the amount of time.

Random Kernel panics when having M-Audio Sonica Theatre plugged in. This one can be really annoying.

10.2.4 has the same battery bug remember. Update to .6

Rubbish.

I guess I escaped the ethernet difficulties by using a manual IP address. I never liked DHCP anyways...

Something moves

10.2.8 was OK for the first few days.

Then after a simple restart all the preferences in my home library vanished.
My Safari bookmarks were wiped out,
Mail.app lost all my mailboxes plus all my archived emails,
The dock reset itself to the system default.

Software update forgot all my inactive updates and bugged me with them again.
Realplayer lost all my fave radio stations.

I had to restore my home folder from a backup.( I'm convinced about backing up now)

Everything's OK for the moment but I dare not restart my iBook or the iMac upstairs.

I'm going to have enormous uptimes because here's no way I'm switching off again until Panther comes out or Apple release a solution to this mess.
Needless to say I'm backing up every day.

10.2.8 ate my homework . . .
