Hi,
We recently converted our public computers in the Libraries to DebAthena, t=
he cluster installation. Today, all except one of the seven machines in Hay=
den Library were stuck at the Ubuntu screen with the five dots. We rebooted=
them and observed that at least some of them, if not all, ran software upd=
ates after the reboot and then ran ok.
This is the second time this has happened since we installed DebAthena on t=
he Libraries public machines. Is this a symptom of software updates being d=
eployed? Any suggestions for correcting this behavior?
Thanks
Pam
