<div dir="ltr">Dear Tim,<br><br>This probably won't affect most, but I use MariaDB rather than MySQL, which caused errors with the update. I needed to extract the files from upgrade8.sh using sharutils and edit the bl_master_package_list.txt to replace mysql-client etc. with mariadb-client etc..<br>
<br>I'd personally recommend everyone use MariaDB (a fork and drop in replacement of MySQL developed by SkySQL), with the plans that the evil Oracle no doubt have for MySQL in the long run.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Steve<br>

Subject: [Bio-Linux] Bio-Linux 8 small fixes<br>
Message-ID: <1407262906.6360.225.camel@balisaur><br>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"<br>
<br>
Dear Bio-Linux users,<br>
<br>
Since the release of Bio-Linux 8 I've had a few people reporting minor<br>
glitches with the system, which I've been working to address, but<br>
generally feedback has been good. :-)<br>
<br>
This is to let you know that I just put up a new ISO (and matching OVA)<br>
today that incorporates various small fixes, and most significantly<br>
restores the bioinformatics Dash menu so that you can more conveniently<br>
access all the tools (or at least the GUI tools) on the system.<br>
<br>
See this if you're not sure what I mean:<br>
<a href="http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/biomenu.png" target="_blank">http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/biomenu.png</a><br>
<br>
If you are already running BL8, to be sure you get the fixes you should<br>
run the upgrade script again (this also applies if you installed BL8<br>
directly) :<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get install runurl<br>
sudo runurl <a href="http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/upgrade8.sh" target="_blank">http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/upgrade8.sh</a><br>
(and reboot)<br>
<br>
The script is designed to only install stuff it sees is missing, so if<br>
the system is already up-to-date it should finish in around a minute and<br>
then report "All done - your system is updated to Bio-Linux 8".<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
TIM<br>
