So you opened the dev repository, saw some new DEV versions and updated your production apps to dev apps. Say no more.
Show me where I was rude to people. You said people rather than person meaning more than one person I was rude to. The only thing I can think of was when I called Jan's instructions rubbish (which I soon after apologised) but emotions aside, my statement is correct. The instructions on page 1 SEVERAL DAYS AGO were incomplete, missing out crucial steps such as not mentioning rootsh. The instructions now are much much better and I think I played a major part of that as most problems I faced have a mention now on page 1 which benefits new comers. There is also the fact that I am new to Linux.

The instructions back then were not simple like you make out to be, so don't make me look like an idiot who can't follow basic instructions. The fact that others also experienced the same problems I had is further proof that the instructions back then were far from simple.

Yes, I saw updates available so I got them. I repair PCs all the time and understand it is usually a good idea to update software and drivers often. I like to be up to date with things, hence why I replaced my n810 with the n900. I can tell you now, if I had todays present instructions complete with warnings, I would never have updated Ruby (which was the cause of my problems and not rootsh like you seem to suggest was)

I've thanked people who have helped me and tried to help 2 other people on here with problems. So I ask... show me where I was rude...
