Big Problem … simple solution

Here is an excellent case of a big problem … with a incredible simple solution. I upgraded my slicehost ubunto vpn from dapper to hardy. A risky business with nothing real in jeopardy except for the pride of a 380 days up time on the server. I shut down everything running on the server and upgrade to hardy. All is fine except that I realize that when I am starting all the services that small things tab completion doesn’t work among other annoyances and doing work on a server without that is practically unbearable. So I figured I would make some time to fix it… the best place to go on these issues is slicehost … THE ROCK. Tony on the slicehost campfire chat immediately identified the problem and it was fixed within 5 minutes.

*Tony | try just running “bash”

And as he said that I was like shit and ran echo $SHELL only to realize that I was in “sh” but now everything is fixed and dandy and I have my tab completion back along with other normal bashy things … thank god. Did I mention that slicehost rocks!
