Upgrading to Hardy Heron

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

A 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.

Google Calendar and EvolutionI 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!

No manual entry for fopen

What the f*ck is going on here?

$ man fopen

No manual entry for fopen

How can Ubuntu leave out the most fundamental man pages? The man pages for system calls and for the C library is the most essential pages if you program on UNIX. With pretty much everything else, you are better off with Google, but for these?

Can someone please tell me how to get my man pages back?
