Hello all,
I presume that a majority of the Sonoma users upgraded to Sequoia without a problem.
... or they did not check everything yet.
Well here is my tale:
After upgrading my laptop to 15.1 initially everything seemed to work fine.
I must admit that I'm using quite well-known 3rd party applications, like
FireFox, Thunderbird, Eclipse, MacVim, ShutterEncoder, Audacity, CCC, JAVA, VLC, Skim ...
But my own applications, written in JAVA gave severe problems.
I use to run the same applications on several systems and to control
their local behaviour, I use the system's node name.
It turned out that Sequoia does strange things with "/bin/hostname" (a reliable source, I thought).
On my laptop the name suddenly changed into "Mac" when WIFI was enabled.
On my desktop this did NOT happen, but when I disconnected the Ethernet
UTP wire, the hostname suddenly was appended by ".local"
Solution: each of my machines now has a little text file in the /User/Shared area
containing the system's name, which has to be installed only once.
Looking forward to the imminent 15.2 and the unavoidable 16.1, 17.1, 18.1, 19.1 .....
;JOOP!
