Cockpit and Lion

[JDunham]

Hi All,
We found a couple of manual changes from the automatic install:

After Cockpit installation, the Mac cannot establish any SMB connection. Solution: We configure the /etc/hostconfig with a HOSTNAME=... line during Cockpit installation - this line will cause trouble with Lion. Just remove this line from the /etc/hostconfig file and everything is fine again.

Java is not installed. No problem: If you are connected to the internet, the download starts automatically after starting the Cockpit installation. Or just open a Terminal before starting the Cockpit installation and type in "java -version", and the download starts.

If a firewall message box appears and asks you if the Cockpit is allowed to accept incoming connections, it is a good idea to allow the network access.

That's what we've found so far. Official Cockpit support for Lion will be with Prinect 2011 Service Release 1.

Hi Jeff:

Any idea if Heidelberg is getting any closer to full Lion compatibility for Prinect/Printready prep front ends??

When is the release ETA approximately?? We're hoping to get our Macs updated and the new version of your front end in before winter's end this year.

Thanks

Tim

I've been using Lion for a while now and the only thing that is broken is Signa, interactive editing.
Every time you start signs, it pops up with message "PowerPC applications are not supported".
If you dismiss this message, Signa works just fine, but interactively it will not let you open the layout.
Cockpit works just fine.

This is my experience so far.
I hope this helps.

Hi Tim,

Prinect 2011 (planned to ship before the end of the year) is scheduled to have support for Lion. Reports from R&D are positive, and we will be loading it here in the states next week to begin testing. I expect we will know more in the next few weeks - but I'm feeling positive about this.

I'll keep you posted...Zoran - thanks for the input!

Hi Guys,

The early release is out - and Lion support looks good! I am expecting the general Prinect 2011 release by the end of the month...Couple of weeks for us to do some testing here in the US, and we should be ready to start installing in Jan/Feb.

I've heard of no problems with Lion, and even support for Acrobat X is looking good.

Have a great Holiday!
