Here's a step everyone seems to miss. Since you have done a fresh install, the
configuration files should all still be stock. When you upgrade packages, you get a
lot of files that end in .new. These are the new configuration files.
The updaters that you have run didn't want to get rid of possibly custom configuration
files. Since none of our configuration files are custom yet, it's pretty safe to do this:
updatedb
to update the search database. Now type:
slocate .new
Go to each one of those files and drop the .new off of the filename.
You'll have to also delete the other file with the same name first. I really hope that makes sense.
It really is one of the most important steps. If you don't do this, you will eventually have problems.
You'll try looking for help and if you get your problems solved, they will involve manually correcting
your configuration files. There can be 40+ updated configuration files, so manually updating them
will take you forever. Save yourself the headache.
