I'm getting that, too. Airport card in Cube, internet sharing from Ethernet to Airport on my Powerbook.

Actually, I got that trying to log in from one tower to the other over ethernet at work on friday.

Thanks, Tyler McAdams.

I was told that OS X client does not support AFP SSH tunelling - never did, and that 10.3.4 simply complains (correctly) about this. From my same setup, I can make an AFP connection to a OS X 10.2 Server machinie with SSH enabled with no complaints, so I think he might be right.

The question is, how does one enable SSH support within OS X Client (and Netatalk Unix machines)?

Bah, the update still doesn't fix the problem with Safari using disgusting amounts of memory.

Did they fix the random icon bug where the Finder would swap icons of files and apps with others..or just mangle them completely?

arekkusu · May 30, 2004, 01:43 AM

No, the Finder still randomly corrupts icons. And is generally buggy in just about every other imaginable way.

NOT FIXED.

Why is fixing this bug important? Does this improve productivity to your work flow? Not being sarcastic here... Just wondering...

When I play my Quicktime movies while using the Icelandish language, and am deleting a Keychain while emptying the trash, while the genie effect is going on, I get the jitters too. When is Apple going to get their act together?

Yes, sometimes I would like to preview a sound file, while looking for another one at the same time in the same window. Resize the column to see more of the name and it freaks out.

It displays the entire name of the file in the preview column.

Of a different file obviously...

There are several bugs related to the preview pane, and YES the jitter impacts productivity. Don't believe it? Just try this:

1) Find a folder with a lot of media. Like 100 MP3s. (or MIDIs, or whatever.)
2) In column view, select a file near the top and start playing it in the preview.
3) Now, scroll the list down quite a bit, searching for another file to play.
4) Try to select the file by clicking on the empty white space next to it (right next to the scrollbar you were dragging.)

Result: most of the time, you end up selecting a range of files. Not the file you were aiming for.

See? It's just broken! You can't reliably browse your media to play through it! It's been like this since 10.3.0.

Also note that the scrollbar thumb doesn't update while you are scrolling. Or if you rename the file you're previewing, the preview shifts over and is clipped (try it with a plain text file!) These bugs are just cosmetic, but they are representative of the overall high quality of the 10.3 Finder.

I guess...

I suppose I'm just used to opening all my mp3s in iTunes, flagging them as necessary with ID3 tags, doing my business there, and cleaning up when I'm done.

fisherKing · May 30, 2004, 06:41 PM

well, while we're on the subject...

is there in fact a way to get the cd/dvd icon back in sys prefs?
a restart did not do it for me

(and, yes, it's minor...but it IS annoying)

So, what you're saying is that you don't use the Finder. I have the feeling that nobody at Apple uses it either.

Oh, is THAT how it happened?

I saw that more than once, but couldn't trace it.

Yes. Updated my gf's Pismo and it's all the better for it.

IIRC they updated the graphics drivers with this update, maybe this is causing the strange stuff I get: whenever I wake from sleep my console output adds this:

Code:
Jun  2 08:18:47  kernel: System Wake
...
Jun  2 08:18:47  kernel: UniNEnet::monitorLinkStatus - Link is up at 100 Mbps - Full Duplex
...
Jun  2 08:18:47 ip kernel: AFPSleepWakeHandler:  waking up
Jun  2 08:19:01 ip DMProxy: theErr=-4205 [line 138, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:01 ip DMProxy: theErr=-4205 [line 708, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:02 ip DMProxy: theErr=-48 [line 570, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:02 ip DMProxy: theErr=-48 [line 614, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:02 ip DMProxy: theErr=-48 [line 722, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:02 ip DMProxy: theErr=-48 [line 145, file DMProxy.c]
Jun  2 08:19:02 ip DMProxy: theErr=-48 [line 708, file DMProxy.c]

So I did a find -name for DMProxy and it turns out it's located in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DMProxy

I have no idea what it does (it seems to be a binary file) or what causes the error. Does anybody here have an idea?
