KeyServer Strikes Again
Posted by Nicole Sharp on 05 April 2006 at 14:56Dear Software Center,
All I wanted to do was some simple data analysis in Matlab on the data I spent seven hours collecting on Saturday. Is that so much to ask? According to your website, Matlab users need only have a network connection to use the program. My laptop is currently hardwired into the Case network, and, yet, I am getting nasty error messages from KeyServer, which isn't supposed to have anything to do with Matlab anyway.
Do you want me to download a newer version? Is that it? I'm supposed to spend my afternoon downloading a 1.18 GB file and reinstalling one of the largest programs on my computer, am I? I'm a busy person, Software Center, and this is not at all funny. It still won't be funny tomorrow morning when I have to go tell my advisor that I don't have results for him because Matlab refuses to load.
So do you think we can possibly move things along? This doesn't have to be difficult or painful.
Thanks!
Nicole Sharp
ETA: The KeyServer server hiccuped and Matlab blew up on me. The new installation involved infinite loops. I had to go into safe mode to fix things. But all is now well because Matlab works again.
