Shit got ill in the Leopard upgrade
Since upgrading Abraham, the best little PB12 there ever was, from Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.5:
- Airport card fails to connect to the default network when waking from sleep.
- Mail.app sometimes fails to sync with the IMAP server when waking from sleep.
- Local virtual hosts I’d set up for web development were deleted.
- Cisco VPN client errors out on launch.
- I sometimes get weird video artefacts when resizing or switching windows.
- Safari keeps trying to access Keychain.app when a username input element receives focus even though I’ve always instructed it not to save passwords.
- Command + Tab switching sometimes leaves the wrong app on top.
- Everything feels a bit slower.
Abe has a 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 processor with 1.25 GB of memory. Last of the mighty twelve-inchers.
That’s strange. I upgrade my First Gen Macbook from Tiger to Leopard and then on to Leopard Server with no problems.
Did you do an upgrade or a clean install? I did a clean install and then a restore from backup/migrate to return my files and settings each time.
Yesterday’s upgrade of the iMac to Snow Leopard went smoothly with the only issue being that Quicksilver refused to load. A quick deletion of the plug-in directory (I think) solved it. I’ll let you know more as it happens.

Can’t blame the specs, my friend… we’re rocking 10.5 on the PB12″ 867mHz w/ 640MB RAM and a 40GB drive!
:-)
Oh, yeah, it’s slow. But not slower than Tiger.

Dan, no, I used the default upgrade option. I’m going to try a clean install instead. Too many issues that I can’t seem to resolve.
Brian, I know, I also recently upgraded Elena’s old 867 MHz PB12 and it ended up feeling faster than before.
