schestowitzoiaohm and I tried to resolve it (spoke in the other IRC channel) and I asked WordPress users too. Seems like it might be a PHP timeout thing http://prajapatinilesh.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/manually-set-php-session-timeout-php-session/Jul 30 16:43

schestowitztessier_: I always patch it within a day. 3.0.1 came out today (3.0 was not a security update, just an upgrade)Jul 30 16:43
tessier_Does PHP time out or does the web browser time out waiting for the upgrade to finish?Jul 30 16:43
schestowitzThat's the thing I can't tell for sure.Jul 30 16:44
schestowitzWHen I hit "upgrade" on the DB it just gives me a page with the logo and then stopsJul 30 16:44
schestowitzI can recall from the old host in 2007 that they could set some parameter to block certain things that are CPU-heavy from carrying onJul 30 16:44
schestowitzSo I assume that since it wants to deal with a large DB PHP just basically says, "well, that's kind of too big, so I won't go there"Jul 30 16:45
schestowitzI tried it dozens of time, going back and fourth and testing all sorts of things. One last option I have is to compact the DB by deleting edit historyJul 30 16:45
tessier_Did you run top and look to see if the db or apache or anything was using a lot of cpu time which might indicate that it was actually doing the upgrade?Jul 30 16:48
schestowitzYesJul 30 16:48
schestowitzI didn't see any high loadJul 30 16:49
schestowitzI also let it sit there for a long time, assuming it might be doing somethingJul 30 16:49
schestowitzin #wordpress they told me it's not supposed to take long, eitherJul 30 16:49
tessier_hmm...can I start the upgrade and try to observe what it is doing?Jul 30 16:51

DaemonFCI have a suspicion that a lot of Canonical employees are intern-level patch monkeys that have only maybe a half a clue what they're doing, a fourth of the timeJul 30 19:33

DaemonFCis it worth complaining about? sure why not? your selling point is that the thing backs up ONLY 7digital MP3s to Ubuntu One's cloudJul 30 19:49
DaemonFCbut an MP3 is an MP3 as much as a gallon of gas is a gallon of gasJul 30 19:49
DaemonFCif the station on one side of the street is 3 cents cheaper, you pull in thereJul 30 19:50
DaemonFCthat's really the only way to make an integrated MP3 store usefulJul 30 19:51
DaemonFCotherwise you might as well bypass it completely and play price warJul 30 19:51

DaemonFCMinceR: Basically you go into a grocery store here, right?Jul 30 19:54
DaemonFCand there's like 3-4 brands of the same thing at 3-4 different pricesJul 30 19:55
DaemonFCthen off to the side there's a store brand that's cheaper because it's in a different boxJul 30 19:55
DaemonFCand they're all made by the same megaconglomerate anywayJul 30 19:55
MinceRor so you sayJul 30 19:55
DaemonFCso why are there now 5 different brands of corn flakes at 5 different prices?Jul 30 19:55
DaemonFCthat's grossly inefficient, but it creates a tier systemJul 30 19:56
DaemonFCwhere people are made to believe the expensive corn flakes are somehow betterJul 30 19:56
DaemonFCand people leave the store paying whatever they were willing to payJul 30 19:56
DaemonFCif you think about it, different editions of the same software product are just like the corn flakesJul 30 19:57
