Actually, it's been like that for a while. Just not noticed it. It's because I'm running the Iridium theme.

Yeah, I noticed a number of permissions fixes after applying the 10.4.3 update. I repaired them right before updating so I know these changed for sure. They focussed primarily on the standard widgets, but my full repair list is below.

After restarting it appeared that Spotlight re-indexed my entire hard drive. Anyone else have this? Damn, still chugging away. This will take forever. \


Anyhow, here's the repair list:

Erm, you do know how repair permissions works yes?

It checks the files on your disk are the same as in the Receipts. If they don't match it changes them but most of the messages are just informational. Permissions are rarely wrong. It's a hangover from OS9.

There's a peculiar urban myth built up on the forums about 'repairing permissions'.

Ahhhh nothing like a wonker like myself working on a production machine.

Restarted my dual 2Ghz G5 to clear out memory, etc and repaired permissions. Downloaded the 56 mb download while I cleaned my desk and let the installer have the whole computer to itself.

The update installed and my computer restarted. Text input went wonky and my G5 went into a Kernel Panic in the first 30 seconds! WEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hard shut down and straight home. I'll see if she starts up and plays nice tomorrow. Ahh the looming deadlines...

Got to love giving into temptation and loading a virgin OS update on a production machine before it's been vetted.

Permissions might be rarely wrong, but its a stupid thing on Apple's part to keep displaying those stupid "We're using sp4ecial permissions..." messages. Who cares that they're using special permissions. It makes it sound like something keeps changing the permissions, and that they have to be continually repaired. I remember that people would say this in 10.3.x with some specific message, but I never knew for sure whether it was true, and if it was to be ignored, why does Apple insist on informing the user of pointless information. It'd be like having a big dialog on boot that says "You've successfully booted your computer"

No, that's not it. I also have the G5 cheese grater widget background on a Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128MB. Core Image is alive and well, pick up widget, drop, make pretty waves. eYe candy, mmmmmM good.

I forget what it sucked down, 97MB or something, a few MB short of 100MB was the update.

I agree that it is silly to output the notices, but the important thing is that a few items actually had permission changes.

10.4.3

¥ Slowed down my startup for at least four reboots. It's still not as fast to boot as before.

¥ MacJanitor, Onyx and Tiger Cache Cleaner no longer compatible.

¥ No noticeable improvments in speed anywhere.

After installing 10.4.3, my system seems slightly more responsive overall. Spotlight searches are also faster, perhaps significantly.

I have not noticed any issues (installed the update yesterday).

My list wasn't even near that big...I didn't copy and paste the list I had but it wasn't more than 24k in size if I had to guess.

Absolutely.

Disk utility to repair disk or to repair permissions shoud ony inform: repairs were performed in red or no repairs were necessary in green. And then perhaps a log button with more information in case repairs were performed and you want to know about it. Apple: why complicate things when they can be SO EASY!!!

ah.. the mac equivalent of

Interesting analogy, but from what i read, it is more like Tiger SP2..


I installed, ran permision repair 2 times, rebooted, permittion repaired again and the (very long) fix list was identical every time. Other than that, the UI is WAY faster, faster than even our top of the line winXP video production rig here at work. Safari loads cold in one bounce (about 1 second) same with itunes and mail...word has stopped crashing, spotlight is insainly fast...

Essenially my mac mini UI is as fast under 10.4.3 as the UI on the top end PM at the Apple store under 10.4.2

With preformance boosts like that, maybe I am not outgrowing the mini as fast as I thought I was

yes, excelente. maybe it's too early but i'll make the big call. this is Tiger - Production Edition. 10.4.3, ready for primetime. bring it. Tiger has truly arrived. One OS to rule them all, straddling a measly powerpc g3 all the way to a Quad g5 and of course, smatterings of Pentium Ms and Yonahs and Meroms and Conroes around the corner.... Just as AAPL is at an all-time high, and M$ struggles with Vistahorned still more than a year away. Be forewarned though, I've been using WinXP64bit for a while now, it is pretty solid. And it feels like i am operating at a level up from those poor souls on XP home/pro. Nontheless the breadth and depth of Tiger, from Aperture for pros to Lost and HD Trailers via iTunes, FrontRow, etc., is really quite stunning.... (although Yes, on the microkernel that may at times be bested by Linux-on-Opterons, and running the hardware-agnostic "universal code" that the iLord has asked of developers).
