Huh, I installed Lion to an external drive for testing, and it clobbered a bunch of stuff on my Snow Leopard install (e.g. nuked my keychain & backups, changed my account picture to the one I set in Lion). Nice.

japtor posted:Did you boot from the InstallESD or did you use the Lion installer? Was there any system on the external drive? My iDisk-based backups are hosed, but I haven't gotten around to trying Time Machine. The files appear to still exist, but attempts to restore through Backup results in an empty folder, and mounting the .dmgs and copying the files directly shows the file copy dialog, but the files never actually show up in the destination folder. There was some relevant Console spam, but I haven't looked into it yet.

So, I went and upgraded my primary drive to Lion. Unfortunately, I've lost my account picture. I had previously used the Tiger-era generic account image (silhouette on blue/white background), but as mentioned earlier, installing Lion on my external clobbered the setting on my Snow Leopard install, and now I can't find the image again. Does anyone know where it's located (it's not in /Library/User Pictures/, IIRC I originally had to dig it up from some system folder)? e: 1st AD posted:I have a weird Spotlight issue - I have a SSD serving as my primary production OS, and another 1tb hard drive where I install new programs and plugins without worrying about breaking my main production system. Lion is installed on both. Spotlight wants to index everything, so of course I just set privacy to that secondary drive. I don't think so, AFAIK Spotlight settings are saved in a hidden file in each folder. vlack posted:Sometimes Safari is downloading PDFs, and sometimes it's opening them with the built-in PDF reader. I don't have Acrobat Reader installed and I can't tell what's causing it to do one vs the other. The only differentiating factor I've noticed is when I'm browsing to a PDF file in normal browsing (i.e. when I most want it to display in the browser) it will download it, and when I'm googling for "filetype:pdf" to test the behavior (i.e. when I'm trying to reproduce the problem) it displays it in the browser just fine. Might be a server-side / HTML thing, I know there's some way to force a click on a file to download it rather than open in place. Lazyhound fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Jul 26, 2011 |

Personally, I like fullscreen apps a lot more than I expected to, I just need to figure out how to map ^+↑/ ^+↓to Mission Control. Disappearing scrollbars are dumb, though. They're a sensible compromise on a tiny screen, but you lose useful information with them.

There's an option in MC to have them sorted by last usage; try turning it off if it's on to see if that lets you move 'em around.

Thoughts? The encryption is totally transparent to Time Machine.

Mu Zeta posted:Did anyone upgrade to Lion while also having a boot camped Windows? If I try to hold down the option key while booting up I'll get a kernel panic. Also if I pick Windows 7 from the Startup Disk in Preferences it will hang in the grey screen once in a while. I can successfully boot into Windows sometimes but these freezes and panics are annoying. I'm thinking of wiping everything to do a fresh Lion install and do boot camp partition afterwards again. I haven't had any issues, but have you tried updating to Boot Camp 4.0?

It does for me for L4D2, but not for L4D1 or TF2 (Geforce 320m). Performance doesn't seem to have improved with Lion, either. If anything it's slower, the latter two games were unplayable at my previous settings.

I'm also having iTunes issues, in that any time I try to download a track that I have from another album, it downloads it as the version I already have, then moves the duplicate to the trash. I've already consulted iTunes support, they weren't much help apart from resetting the download for me upon request. I ended up manually editing the metadata and re-importing to fix it. I am eagerly anticipating the full roll-out of iCloud.
