Cachepilot playing music!!!

[SteveT]

Our Cachepilot has just started playing "The Hall of the Mountain King" FFS!!!

 

How do I stop it ..... it's driving me doolally!!!!!

[powdarrmonkey]

wtf?!

 

.

[CESIL]

I just posted the same thing...can't be coincidence...

[powdarrmonkey]

Easter egg, methinks.

[OutToLunch]

Is it still working (proxying/filtering etc) whilst playing the music?

 

Is the music being played in a very tinny way by the internal BIOS beep/tones/speaker? I remember a very old article on the MS KB about "Your pc start playing music" - don't think it was Hall of.. that played but could be the same or similar fault.

 

Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music

Rebooted and it has stopped.

 

 

So it wasn't just me finally losing the plot!!!

[tmcd35]

I wouldn't worry about it. So long as it doesn't suddenly play the ringtone from "One Last Call" you'll be fine.

[CESIL]

Ours stopped on its own after about 10 minutes

[AngryTechnician]

Sounds like someone at Espresso support having a laugh if you ask me.

It's CLEO thing done by the LUNs bods. It plays this when upgrading!! Don't switch it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[SteveT]

confirmed it does this when being upgraded. Pity they didn't let us know!!!

[CESIL]

I just got an email from the support company about the upgrade thing...

 

Good job I didn't switch it off...

 

SteveT: I see you are a Seasick Steve fan like me...

[powdarrmonkey]

What a stupid way to signal an upgrade... first thing I'd have done is kick its power supply.

 

And if you're going to do that, at least tell your users first..... FFS

[localzuk]

It's in the support documentation for the units...

[Dos_Box]

That's why the instructions say 'Leave plugged in, switched on and don't interfere!'.

[CESIL]

instructions...we don't need any stinking instructions...

[SimpleSi]

Pity they didn't let us know!!!

 

Have you not checked the notice inside the cupboard in the basement behind the sign saying "beware the leopard"

 

It got the site superviosr going at one of my schools as the box is in her cupboard

You're all just bitter because we have secrets

[pagelad]

Haha,

 

Ours do that when they are updating as well,

 

Apparently a new version is out, i got this from our supplier

 

"Notification of planned maintenance on the:

 

Work: Release of CachePilot upgrade nub to v5.1.3

Type: Planned Upgrade Work

Status: Open

 

Maintenance Window:

 

Start: Sat 14 Feb 2009 @ 22:00

End: Sun 15 Jan 2009 @ 23:59

Expected work duration: N/A

Expected Impact: All CachePilots will download and apply the upgrade nub overnight following release.

 

Summary:

 

Easynet and Equiinet are pleased to announce that all CachePilots will be upgraded to v5.1.3 code over the half term weekend. This latest version of CachePilot code provides support for the enhanced XL SmartFilter list.

 

All CachePilots (which are connected to the Internet and powered up) will automatically download and apply the nub over night on the 14th Feb. Boxes that are disconnected or powered down will download and apply the nub overnight the next time they connect.

 

It would be greatly appreciated if all Schools could leave their CachePilots connected and powered up over the half term to facilitate this upgrade.

 

All settings (including bespoke Filters) on School CachePilots will be maintained, though filter administrators will notice the addition of some new categories."

 

They've probably just upgraded you but dont have the sense to do it at a time when nobody is using it.

Have you a link to where you got that info from?

[pagelad]

Its probably not much use to you it was from the South Tyneside learning platform site so it only really applies to schools in South Tyneside.

 

Welcome to South Tyneside .learning

 

Just posted it to show there is an update, different regions probably have different ideas on how best to update.

 

No warning during a school day probably isnt the best way of doing it
