        @johnpoz I was thinking about that but couldn't tell my wife, with a straight face, that I needed to upgrade because of an 32 bit integer overflow display problem (she worked in IT too). On a side note, I was able to supercharge my car by telling her I needed an "active induction system" - she heard "astro projection system." :-)

            Seems like a perfectly good reason IT to upgrade!

            Interesting this bug didn't seem to be an issue on 23.01...? a4de1144-9f08-4399-b253-a8d4ef540e1b-image.png

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              I would pay a small fortune for that one : coming home, put on the friendly and puzzled face, and ask : honey, can you take care of the overflow issue ?

              edit :
              4100 using 23.05 :

              IPv6 takes the lead !

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    Yes, I didn't specify that, did I. You made me check again though since we have a few routers in our office...make sure I connected to the right one yesterday. :) (tip: colored login page backgrounds)

                        In your next team meeting point out most video drivers now can show 16 million. #a3bd44 and #a3bd43 are different after all. ;)

                        Perhaps a checkbox to show the router hostname on the login screen?

                        But I digress…

                            “Show hostname on login banner”
                            Oh hey look at that. 🙄
