One word of warning, still rebuilding my computer after installing these updates. I applied these updates and received the Apple no smoking sign (minus the cigarette) yesterday.

Ensure you have a very good backup before applying these patches.

My laptop will not boot since I installed the update :(
I just get a black screen after the Apple boot up tone.
Same issue here. After 10.7.2 update MBP was started with black screen. Apple logo on the back side also off. It’s like the screen is in power save mode. But the Lion has booted and working without anything on the display. Connected external display also do not show picture, only text like “power save mode”. Reseting PRAM and SMC not fixing the problem.
anybody with the solution?…
here is the apple support community theme about this issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16345223#16345223
there is no solution at this time
Remember the fake anti virus software which was automatically downloaded and mounted, which led to people advising to disable Safari’s feature to automatically open safe files?
With this update Apple removed .dmg and .pkg from the list of safe files:
“Disk Image (.dmg) and installer packages (.pkg) files are no longer included in “safe” file types.”

Is it just me, or did the update cause the icons in launchpad to double is size?
Oh yeah I’ve just noticed that. Double size icons :(
Does anyone know to make them smaller?
Noticed that also. Quite a few posts online stating no way to reduce the size of the icons in Launchpad…….quite annoying.
go to system preferences
then to dock under Personal
in dock, you can minimise the size and magnification
hopefully thats the answer you were looking for:)
