I updated to 2.8.2 from 2.7.14 I am running linux and using Java 1.6.0_21 and also the java app to run an 99I without a browser. Has been working fine through 2.7.10 - 11 - 12 - 13.
But with 2.8.2, it would not show unit status (blank) as other people have reported. If I used a browser, than it would work ok. So it is a java issue but I cleared all cache but no help. Did several boots of the 99I. And also, under the Java app, it would not let me downgrade to 2.7.14 but gave an error.
I had decided that I would have to go the browser route but then decided to try the downgrade under the browser, and it worked.
So now I am back to 2.7.14 and using the Java app and everything is working find again.
There must be a problem with 2.8.2 somewhere. Will try again when 2.8.3 becomes available.
