Upgrading to Hardy Heron
Saturday, June 7th, 2008A few days ago I was too tired to work in the evening, so I decided to upgrade my laptop to Hardy Heron while watching a movie. It went surprisingly well, compared to last time where the upgrade broke a lot of my applications (but my last upgrade was to a beta release of Gutsy Gibbon and this time I didn’t want to upgrade to a beta).
So far, I am happy with the update. I have had some problems with spam-filtering but as far as I can see I have solved that problem just by changing from bogofiltering to spamassasin, so no worries there.
I had hoped I would be able to synchronise Evolution with Google Calendar, and for a minute I could (although repeated tasks didn’t seem to work). Trying to include a second calendar didn’t work and instead seemed to break the first calendar as well, so now I have no synchronisation at all.
It is a feature I would really love to have, so I’ll try to fix it, but if anyone has had similar problems (broken sync or problems with recurring events) and solved them, please let me know.
I am very happy with Firefox 3 as well. It is less memory hungry and the URL bar is awesome!
