I was unable to point to any change I'd made which happened at the same time as the problem started. But I did notice that if I were to log in as another user on the machine then the problem disappeared - I was sure it was something I had done to my account but wasn't sure where to start looking...</p> <p>Recently I installed Tunnelblick, a MacOS X GUI for OpenVPN. This ran fine on Tiger, and fine when I upgrade the Tiger machine to Leopard. But I did have a lot of issues (known issues) getting it to install and work on the fresh Leopard prep of my MacBook. But work it did, eventually, and I thought no more of it.</p> <p>It is now obvious that Tunnelblick is the cause of the problems. I can't get it to quit, it just hangs. The same will be happening on shutdown, but MacOS will eventually kill it to switch the machine off.</p> <p>The solution is to wait for a fix for this very important bit of software. The website was last updated two months ago stating that there was a problem. Initially I thought it was 7 months out of date and that the project was dead, but the site is using a USA date format.</p> <p>Until then, load the software only when needed and remove it using Activity Monitor immediately afterwards.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:44:20 +0000 techuser 20 at http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/20#comments http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/16 <div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/25">safari</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/26">leopard</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I've been trying to get my intranet password working again since I changed it a week or so ago. It worked in Safari 2, and after upgrading my G4 laptop to Leopard it still worked fine. It was only when I needed to change it that I found I couldn't change it and save it.</p> <p>Long story short, it's broken in Safari to at least 3.0.4. See: <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6283882">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6283882</a></p> <p>Even if you open Keychain Access and set it manually, it won't work. A big shame. It's odd how it only stopped working when I had to change the password.</p> </div></div></div> Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:39:06 +0000 techuser 16 at http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk http://www.technologicalwanderings.co.uk/node/16#comments
