I configured a bunch of IPv6 addresses on my GleSYS VPS and got it working after setting the proper route.

I'm currently upgrading my Ubuntu-in-VirtualBox at work from Jaunty to Karmic, but at first it didn't work at all. Update Manager got stuck when I clicked the "Upgrade" button.

In about:plugins, what's the filename of the Java plugin?
Is it libjavaplugin_oji.so? If so, you should update to the new Java plugin. Run:
sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
Now select libnpjp2.so instead and restart Firefox.
Source: Out of date java 6 plugin installed.

Most date formatting comes from the DATE FORMATS section in include/config.php but even after changing these date formats I still don't get all dates displayed ...

CBL is not very informative, but writes:
ATTENTION: If you are running IPSwitch Imail, or similar shared hosting software, ...

I have two personal TaskFreak installations now: one at work and a personal one for everything else.
Usually I run all my applications in English but the personal TaskFreak is in Swedish so the first thing I changed was a couple of things I didn't agree with in the Swedish translation.
Then ...
