I don’t have any problems like that. I’m running the Launcher on Ubuntu too (natively on hardware, no VM), and I can even continue using the testnet, after sending my computer to sleep and waking in up again.

Mine seems to be working fine until I try to access http://bible.safenet at which point the whole thing stops working.
at the moment you have to delete the files you already uploaded first.
Joined the network last night, & left it alone. Woke up this morning, woke the Mac up this morning, and clicked on a link with a platypus, and it worked right away. Well done!

All the sites on the neighboring thread will be deleted at reset many times to come?
Yes to both. And also my post must be at least twenty characters.

Okay I reregistered because I forgot my password and now the launcher is hanging. It’s been hanging all night. I did submit a report to JIRA but I’ve got no response yet. Gah…
@Blindsite2k if it hangs for more than 5 minutes or so I would shut down launcher and demo app and start again - just with the launcher. Don’t start the demo app until the launcher is connected.
If it still hangs trying to login or create, click “Cancel” and try again. Sometimes it takes three or four goes to login.
If you still have problems, try restarting your machine too. First time I had lots open and things were very slow and I didn’t get very far.
After restarting my PC I took things slowly, one step at a time, and it was much more reliable, but logging in still seems hit and miss, and if the launcher is left running for long it seems to stop working.
Make sure you specify what OS you are running when describe problems. I’m on Debian Linux, so my experience may or may not be relevant to your setup.

Are there any limitations to what type of site can be uploaded. Ie. Joe Blog can go to template monster buy a site and upload without complications?
As long as websites don’t depend on server-side processing, you should be good to go. Until distributed computation is integrated, all application/website processes will be done on client machines.

So long as it doesn’t require server side code (i.e is a static website using HTML/CSS/Javascript) yes, it will work.
WordPress “templates” (actually, in WordPress they call them themes) for example will not work, because it runs on a server.
So a static template, or a website generated by a static website generator should work like a dream.

Thanks Onaka! I did not know how to do this either until you provided this pointer.

I have a problem. It’s not showing all the services I registered, and allows me to reregister them several times, but still does not show them.
I am truly honoured to be a part of this initial test release and history in the making. Thank you David Irvine and the entire development team for your vision and perseverance in getting us to this point. The dawn of Internet 2.0 is here! I am running on Trisquel using the Abrowser web browser and everything is working beautifully.

Using Windows I found you can paste into the password field using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V), but cannot right click the mouse to paste.
Tested it on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit yesterday. My notes:
-
Directory upload per se seemed to work. But after completion, no auto-refresh (as in file upload), and simply no way to see or access the directory (as reported by quite a few others on different OS).
-
Literally every process is slow (understandable, just 50 nodes far away in the cloud right? But part of it is due to security overhead I suppose).
-
Using “.safenet” as the TLD is a bad call IMHO. It’s the name of an existing infosec company. Sadly “.safe” is now Amazon’s. I assume the use of .safenet is not final? My vote is (surprisingly) “.maidsafe” - unique, meaningful (love “Massive Array of Internet Disks”). Of course, if @dirvine and team are too conscious about this, they can make the sacrifice and change the company name (e.g. to just “Maid”, or to “Project SAFE”, but that discussion is for later).

We have some sleeps coded in just now (sleep == delays). It is to help debug, you will see big speedups in next few weeks as we roll out updates.
