Okay, this blows. (Sorry for the California term, but it is all I can think of.)
After several hours of installing 10.3 on my laptop followed by terrible frustration and then several hours of installing 10.2 on my laptop, I've decided I need to downgrade to Vista.
Unfortunately, the laptop must be encrypted. There is no other option, since it is a business laptop.
From what I can tell - I had a perfectly working laptop on Thursday. Yesterday I took it upon myself to upgrade to 10.3 and encrypt the home partition. Doing so caused numerous issues, mostly with locking up the screen and/or system randomly.
I decided today to do a fresh install of 10.2 - which was working fine - on the system with an encrypted home partition.
Same issues. System will lock up unexpectedly after either a few minutes or after an hour.
I can only guess that the encryption is causing the issue.
Unless anyone has further suggestions, it appears I need to downgrade to Vista (which came with the laptop) and bite the bullet.
Ideas?
Having followed your discussion on encrypting partitions, I was actually wondering if you might not just need to fake a partition in a file, encrypt the fake partition, and only mount that when needed? I already have 10.3 on my laptop, and running smooth enough, so I was pondering doing this for the stuff I need kept safe.
