10.5.2 Upgrade Nightmare!
Last night I updated my old PowerMac G4 1.25 GHz MDD, and it went disastorous.
When it was time to reboot, it rebooted with the Setup Assistant started. Well I filled out the info, and it started again. It was stuck in some sort of Setup Assistant loop. Oddly enough, update 10.5.2 has a note that it fixes this issue.
I found this apple help doc. I did what it said, I was hoping this would be a small issue. The document seems to be in good detail. So I reboot in “safe boot”. But now I can’t click the reboot button because the mouse pointer will not move. I tried plugging the mouse into a different usb port, I tried switch the mouse with another I had lying around, and rebooting. No matter what I could not move the mouse. I tried to use the tab key on the keyboard, but that did not work. I did more searching on Apple’s web site but could not find any help.
I rebooted the system and left it at the Setup Assistant screen. I was able to SSH to the system. I then started to look for some startup script that may be initiating the Setup Assistant.
A find command to look for files that night have to do with setup…
find / -name "*Setup*" -print
Found this… /var/db/.AppleSetupDone.
As it turned out there are 2 files that looked like they might have something to do with this update failure, /var/db/.SoftwareUpdateOptions and .SoftwareUpdateAtLogout.
I renamied the files without the dot in front of them.
mv .SoftwareUpdateOptions SoftwareUpdateOptions mv .SoftwareUpdateAtLogout SoftwareUpdateAtLogout
Then I rebooted the system. The system came up alright. I then downloaded the 10.5.2 combo updater and installed it. Every thing seems to have gone OK.

Enjoying my PS3
Friday night I purchased PAIN.PAIN is a very fun game, and very funny. I think this game was meant for someone like me (immature). Case in point… 
A la Nerds.

Great finds in iTunes!
I don’t think I mention enough how much I love iTunes. The iTunes Store now has iTunes Plus, DRM free music!
Once a week or so I do some digging, to see what I can find. Here are a few links to songs I have purchased.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
