Hey Guys,

I've just finished flashing my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to the iOS 6 Beta, added both UUIDs to the Provisioning Portal about 2 hours ago.

iPad reports that the Activation Servers are unavailable and to try Activating via iTunes, which does nothing, just hangs.

iPhone 4S reports that the device is not registered in the Developer Program.

I'm guessing that this is a Server Load issue at the moment as the Beta has only been floating around the dev portal for a few hours.

Anybody else having issues issues?

Thanks

Im having the same issue but only with my New ipad , my 3gs updated no problem , its very frustrating!!!

So the 3GS is getting iOS6? I haven't heard that. If so that is excellent news.

I'm tempted to try and find a copy or someone to register my UDID for my iPad so I can try out Siri.

Have a fix instead of waiting for apple servers just put in DFU mode restore to 5.1.1 then option-click update instead of restore... works no problem!!!

Hey, looks like Apple are really pushing the Delta Update system over full-restores with both OS X and iOS now. Incremental Updates from iTunes, I approve.

I'd totally offer to add you to mine, but, I use my corporate developer account now, and I don't think my boss would approve :p.

Yeah, 3GS getting updated, but iPad first gen getting left behind. Doesn't seam fair!

Download it via developer.apple.com and install by Option-Clicking 'Update' in iTunes, opening the DMG and using the IPSW inside.

Took about 15 minutes to install on my iPhone 4S.

Performance of iOS is WAY faster, but many bugs exist already.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
