are you on wireless access by any chance?

1. On login my groups didn't list until I forced it with a Search (this field displays as None until forced to list). (Friends list displayed without problem on this login)

2. After groups listed my parcel was then displayed in the top bar on window, but I had no access to any of the About Land fields (all greyed).

3. Attempted to save a notecard after adding a single line to an existing one. Got the following message: Unable to upload [UUID] due to the following reason. Server experiencing unexpected difficulties. Please try later.

4. Attempted to upload a single image file. Got the same message.

I didn't attempt to tp (which generally fails when all of the above are in evidence) as I needed to keep some info in Clipboard memory - so can't verify that it still doesn't work.

Please note that I also have these same issues reported under my Alt account - Phaedra Basevi

Strife - if it was a firewall, then why is that in 1.18.3.5 all these functions work flawlessly for me (lag and crashing and memory leaks notwithstanding)?

These problems only started with 1.18.5 for me - but the 1.19 series added the About Land issue

thanks

Please don't close it until it's sorted - until you've checked with me that it's not a problem any more.

The issue is not my firewall - I have no problem with 1.18.3.5 - so if you've changed anything in the viewers since then - TELL ME.

Now using the 1.20 series of RC viewers - currently 1.20.5

Every single issue is still present with a few more I've noticed.

• Can't save edited gestures.
• While my main account (Shai Khalifa) has no access to Group functionality, my alt account (Phaedra Basevi - which is a free account since I downgraded her) has full access to Groups - We have similar sized inventories as I used Phaedra to run one of my enterprises, and Shai to run another.
• The same thing happens with access to About Land information (which still has to be forced for both accounts).

It isn't my firewall - because I don't have one on on my Mac. And when I turned the firewall off on my broadband provider end and tried SL - exactly the same issues were apparent.

Workarounds:
To save notecards - I have discovered that I can save notecards that are in objects - so I created an object, dragged a notecard in it. Edited that notecard and saved it successfully. Renamed it and dragged it back into my inventory. Voila!!! notecard issue worked around.

This doesn't work for gestures though.

To move from sim to sim - log out then back in to the Region you want to go to - then tp to the place you want to go. Unfortunately you may log into someone's house which may require some explanation - and if the region login is into a banned area, you can't get to the region at all.

What I've done to try to resolve this issue on my side:
I doubled my bandwidth a month ago - no change
I doubled my DRAM to 2 gig 2 weeks ago - SL runs smooth as a baby's bum, but the issues are still there.
Installed Fusion and loaded Windows - Fusion won't run 3D graphics intensive programs on Tiger, but may on Leopard if you partition your drive with Bootcamp (no need to load Windows in partition if you have Fusion. Whether SL runs is still to be tested.

What I've still to do:
Install Leopard to see if the updated OpenGL interface resolves the issues
Try the Bootcamp/Fusion combination so that I still have access to both my Mac and SL at the same time.

aric

Loaded a brand new Mac version of the main viewer - no change
Loaded a brand new Mac version of the latest RC (1.20.5) - no change - with the exception that I had access to Group functionality (only)

Partitioned drive with Bootcamp
Loaded Windows XP Home
Loaded new PC version of the main viewer - lo and behold it works with full functionality except for the little micropauses everyone using this combination seem to have.
Loaded latest RC - everything works - micropauses seem to have disappeared.

Loaded the bootcamp partition into Fusion - SL stil won't run - won't read the graphics card/drivers (this is a Fusion issue) . This means I can't run both systems simultaneously so that I have access to my Mac software.
____________________________________________________
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE USE OF PC VERSION OF VIEWER WITHIN BOOTCAMP IS NOT - I repeat NOT - A SOLUTION.

IT IS A WORKAROUND ONLY - and if Linden Lab consider it to be a total solution for Mac users those responsible should be taken out an shot.

I am not alone in being affected by this litany of issues Gypsy is only one of a number of people who have contacted me direct to discuss the fact that they have EXACTLY the same issues i've been having - and we all have different hardware and software setups.

The only common denominator is the fact that we're on Mac machines. So the problem is not necessarily readily reproducable. But if you talk to Gypsy Tripsa and to Bud Noel - for a start - they will provide you with exactly the same list of issues - on multiple machines and software setups.

I have added a comment on my Support Ticket - 4051-4578282 - referring Kyle to this Jira ticket as it contains the detail of steps I've taken.

The post on the blog is from Stephani Honi .

Is it possible that at the change from 1.18.3.5 something to do with the 2Wire modem changed??? and that this hasn't been addressed in any of the viewer updates since????

My 2Wire is model 2071-A

You can try configuring your computer to use your ISP's nameservers directly instead of using the 2Wire router's DNS. This has solved the problem for others.

• Groups don't appear until search, and sometimes not even then.
• About Land fields unavailable for edit
• Notecards and Snapshots cannot be saved
• File uploads fail

I just downloaded RC 1.19.1 (2) to see whether any of my issues had settled them selves - but no joy.

1. On login my groups didn't list until I forced it with a Search (this field displays as None until forced to list). (Friends list displayed without problem on this login)

2. After groups listed my parcel was then displayed in the top bar on window, but I had no access to any of the About Land fields (all greyed).

3. Attempted to save a notecard after adding a single line to an existing one. Got the following message: Unable to upload [UUID] due to the following reason. Server experiencing unexpected difficulties. Please try later.

4. Attempted to upload a single image file. Got the same message.

Lindens:
Would you care to share the workaround involving the use of DNS with regard to the 2WIRE unit? Thanks.
