Mac OS X 10.3.1 Update is now available in your software update:

The 10.3.1 Update delivers enhanced functionality and improved reliability for the following applications, services and technologies: FileVault, Printing, WebDav, and FireWire 800 drives. This update also includes the latest Security Updates.

Important Note: Apple has identified an issue with external FireWire hard drives using the Oxford 922 bridge chip-set with firmware version 1.02 that can result in the loss of data stored on the disk drive. Even with the improvements available in this update, Apple recommends you update the firmware on your FireWire drive. Please contact your drive manufacturer for more information.

give it some time before updating!

Exactly, after that I promissed myself I would never get updates as soon as they came out again.
 
I don't think this update was originally planned. Rather, it needed to get out quickly to quell the rash of articles exposing Pather's major problems. By releasing thus update, Apple can tote Panther again without any serious rebuttle.

I'd look for 10.3.2 to fix up the rest of the cosemetic bugs (which would otherwise have been 10.3.1, if not for the File Vault issues).
 
What about Safari?

I think it is great they fixed a few things, but waht about the crashing in safari and ichat. I use them a hell of a lot more than filevault.

Maybe, but Safari & iChat (which, BTW, I have had no problems with) won't cause you to loose all your data. Any flaws in FileVault had SERIOUS consequences.
 
installed with no issues.

I wasn't using Filevault anyhow. I do have two FW400 external drives... but hadn't experienced data loss prior.

edit: I've had no Safari or iChat issues either.

safari crashes CONSTANTLY on me (dual 1.42 powermac), Id say I havent been able to use it for more then 10 minutes straight with it no crashing. Also mail has been a pain with crashing, its just that I was used to jaguar where those two things almost never ever crashed on me.
 
I haven't had any problems with any software crashing.

Some people have to do the updates to see if it works fine...

Installed: 12" PB and 17" iMac-No Problems

But I wish they had fixed the problem with nVidia cards not working properly in Sawtooth G4 towers. Oh well, I'll keep using the patch that at least makes the card usable, but at the sacrifice of Quartz Extreme.:(

I also do not use FileVault but I'm glad they fixed it...

I also hope that the sketchy networking with SMB mounts has been fixed! I can't eject SMB mounts at work when I connect through the Network path from the SideBar.

did you do an update install or an install and archive? are you running any haxies?
 
Anybody out there with a lombard and more than 256 RAM... does this update fix the screen garbling bug or we need to wait for 10.3.2 ?
 
Mac OS X 10.3.1 update

Just done the update using the Software update System Preference. Is the first thing I did since installing Panther about an hour ago (onto external Lacie Pocket drive).

All fine, but when I run the software updates (two security updates, plus one 10.3.1 update), I got an error after installing the 10.3.1 about the security updates requiring 10.3 to be present.

It then quit (gracefully). After restart I noticed that the system is now on 10.3.1 and Software Update says there are no additional updates available at this time... a little strange I guess. But it worked so far

10.3.1 = Dead iBook

oh bloody hell.

Nice suprise, 10.3.1 available, little ol lemming me just says yes and now after the re-boot it wont start up.

The white apple logo apears, it goes along for a while and then the logo is replaced by a big cricle with a dash in grey. Then it stays silent for ages.

I've ried reseting, takint he batery out. wearing a hat. Everything.

No I want to cry, any ideas or is this 10.2.8 all over again?

re: mac@ukf.net install issues

The 10.3.1 update apparently includes the previous security updates so that might explain that error message.

I got the same one updating an iMac.

System should probably handle that differently but not a major problem.

Boot it on a Boot Disk, do the normal files and checkups with any Disk Utils afterwards...

Anyway if you have this why not boot up on the Panther Disks?
