The new installer

Aug 30, 2004 Icarus link
I take it the linux installer is still ultra dodgy, as I have tried to install it on my laptop and had to re-run the installer 5-6 times to get all the files downloaded. Mostly got LUA errors, but had a seg fault thrown in too...

was just about to open a new threat stating the very same problem. getting files is interrupted by messages such as:

$ vendetta
*** Lua error: [string "..."]:19: download progress for unexpected ref#!
*** Stack trace:
1 [C]:-1 in (null) ()
2 [C]:-1 in assert (global)
3 [string "..."]:19 in on_http_progress (global)
Segmentation fault
$

keeping on restarting the installer does the trick though. the first time i ever "solved" a segfault by restarting the app :-)

Yeah, I kept getting segfaults like that. I retried about 5 times and the installer seems to have just worked now.

Odd. It works just fine for me.

There's a new updater version now... See if this problem still persists.

All it does for me is bring up the screen saying requesting latest version and then sits there.

Any ideas?

Update server bombed.. I'm gonna solidify that first thing tomorrow morning. Sorry 'bout that.
