  • I run MECM at home so that my Windows machines don’t reboot themselves on their own. Apparently it corrupted its database some weeks ago, and I didn’t notice until the backups had aged out. So I had to build a new one from scratch, and holy fuck I hate it every time. So many steps not documented or automated in the installation, to say nothing of all the items scattered across the MECM console that you have to configure before it does anything.

    So I guess I should get around to log and system monitoring.







  • Looks like it was fixed in 2004, and there were no messages any more recently. Looks like it was just never closed, not unfixed, unless I’m missing something.

    Edit: the bug tracker it was fixed in 2.01, which came out 2004-07-23. But the changelog says #186085 was fixed in 2.00, strangely. And the current version, 3.73, was released 2023-05-25.

    After more sleuthing, I hunted down the micronews mailing list where they discussed this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2025/07/msg00003.html

    I guess in 2004 they made the criteria for inclusion on the task list stricter, so what’s being fixed now is that they’re changing the debian installer to include selections for tasks/blends like debian med? I don’t see where that’s indicated though.
