Issues with 51<\/b><\/p>\n
Ok, since I’ve flashed 51 onto my 770, all hell has broken loose. So far I’ve had these issues:\n<\/p>\n
I had to finally re-flash ’51 again, and this time I didn’t restore by data (which I had backed-up using the built in control utility) back onto the 770. It seems more stable now, except for the issues using swap. I don’t mind resetting up my stuff by hand- my backup data must have corrupted something.\n<\/p>\n
People I’ve talked with talk about initial reboots, but then ‘things calm down over time’ which seems impossible to me- how can things calm down? They should stay the same at least.\n<\/p>\n
Does anyone have any solid information on what has changed in this release?\n<\/p>\n
Gainroot and Root<\/b><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, I’ve been banging my head with gainroot, and why it wouldn’t read the .profile of the root user in \/root… nothing was working, till I finally realized that perhaps this wasn’t some new shell I was in.. and sure enough, invoking su – while in ‘gainroot’ put me into a proper root shell with a working environment. See below for the difference in environments…\n<\/p>\n
