me too - on 1/2 Macs.
The other one froze-weird - maybe summit to do wit takin 802.11 card in/out and stuff, or nearly dropping it as it work from sleep! :( It is a PB G3 500 though!)
 
G5s cant stay up anymore, with the OpenGL problem we crash so many times a day... I almost want to switch back to Panther...

So when playing Quicktime movies or playing games we get total lockups, no system logs written or anything.

Too many users have it, alot just havent encountared it becuase they dont use Quicktime (most common lockup) as much as others.

Nothing fixes it either, just waiting for 10.4.2 or a patch.
 
Not too long... just a couple of days since I upgraded to 10.4.1. Maybe I'll try to keep it running until 10.4.2... :)

Been running Tiger since May 6 - 10.4.0 - no issues what so ever - did the 10.4.1 upgrade - still fine -- system used every day as my main computer



mini - 1.4Ghz - 512MB RAM
 
Guys, I think we can ALL expect to be getting larger and larger uptimes from now until the next update that requires a restart!
Can we just post notable/interesting uptimes from now on (i.e. longer than 14 days 13 hours or whatever that was)
4 days 8:20

Oh now 4 days 8:21

oh now.. - Yeah we know!
 
my mini has been on since the reboot for 10.4.1
4 days, one hour and 35 minutes
Code: 
20:04  up 4 days,  1:35, 2 users, load averages: 0.30 0.15 0.15

Not to be out-of-order, but So What?
4 days 11:16 - it's HARDLY notable! - EVERYONE (with 10.4.1) will be here or hereabouts!

:rolleyes: :eek:

my bad indeed, i'll post again just before i reboot for the next update.
 
With Tiger, I never got past about 48 hours before crashing. That's why I said goodbye to the new cat and hello again to good old stable Panther. (Tiger was a clean install on a separate disk, so no upgrade craziness) Back on Panther, I'm already ahead of my best uptime on Tiger:

11:22 up 3 days, 11:26, 4 users, load averages: 0.24 0.07 0.02

Pathetic, ain't it? Before the whole Tiger fiasco, my latest uptime on Panther had been about 31 days (March 31st to May 1st). Weeee.

Well that shouldn't happen - no way of curing it? I ran completely from 10.4 to 10.4.1 without a restart on my iMac G4 - 14 days summit. A lot of people did this I think.

Well, this is exactly why I started this thread... The strange thing is, that on my computer, I went from this kind of experience on 10.4.0 (no uptime better than two or three days, due to lock-ups or freezes or weird finder crashes that couldn't be restarted without forcing a power cycle) to suddenly having much better stability (I'm at close to 9 days now, and things seem more or less as stable as Panther). And I didn't change anything!

You got the update 4 days before everyone else?

When I said I didn't change *anything* I meant *anything*. That was still 10.4.0. I just updated today. And, ahem, ironically, my computer froze within a minute after I made that post. :eek: Which was the trigger for the upgrade. ;)

But actually, I don't think this freeze had anything to do with Tiger. I've had this happen maybe two or three other times while I've had this iBook. I was surfing and checking some files and stuff, with the iBook on top of a box on the floor, and I stopped what I was doing, literally picked it up and moved it two feet onto the couch next to me, to find the mouse and keyboard completely non-responsive.... :( The other two or three times this happened to me were in Panther, so I don't think this is a Tiger thing. And I'm not sure whether it's a good or bad thing that it doesn't happen anywhere nearly consistently enough to have gotten it fixed while I had a warranty! ;)
 
no one can beat my lc475's uptime, it's been on somewhere in my room (i cant rember where :confused: it responds to ping.) with debian on as a print server for like the last 5 years connected to my laserwriter.
