Rocket2DMnHey guys, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo?action=diff&rev1=114&rev2=11501:02
Rocket2DMnDo we want to allow explanations of how to enable the root account, root is disabled by default as part of Ubuntu's security model01:03
Rocket2DMnI am against having that info there.  On the forums we don't support enabling the root account for login01:04
Rocket2DMnoops wrong channel!sorry!01:06
keesRocket2DMn: (what channel was that meant for?)  I think it's useful information.  having a root password is useful in certain styles of server administration.01:19
Rocket2DMnkees, ubuntu-doc01:19
Rocket2DMnkees, anybody that REALLY needs root likely already knows how to get it01:20
keesRocket2DMn: that is probably true.  :)01:21
Rocket2DMnI had a short discussion in the doc channel (a team of which i am a part), and will email the doc team mailing list01:21
* kees nods01:22
keesI don't feel strongly one way or the other.  saying that root "isn't support" is probably wrong though.  it's a valid way to admin a server, it's just not Ubuntu's default.01:22
Rocket2DMnYes, we should be supporting the Ubuntu way01:23
keeswell, I mean, it's a bug if people can't set a root password.  :)01:23
Rocket2DMnOn the forums we believe that people should be able to do whatever they want with their system, but we don't have to provide them the info on how to circumvent the security model01:23

Trijntjegreg-g: ok, ill do that than, thnx17:46
greg-gTrijntje: no problem, thanks for helping!17:47

BUGabundo1if it was 3.1 and you used an external link17:53
greg-gBUGabundo1: you didn't ask if they clicked an external link, just if it was 3.117:54

bcurtiswxbug #335239, since there isnt much info in triaging synaptic on wiki pages, what else can i have the user include before i send this upstream?21:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 335239 in synaptic "Synaptic Quick Search not working" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33523921:50
hggdhbcurtiswx, I have seen this before...22:55
hggdhbcurtiswx, try the following: (1) do a search (not a quick search) on -- say -- "kde"; (2) now do a quick search for -- say -- "audacious". Nothing found, I venture22:57
hggdhbcurtiswx, in summary: a quick search uses the output of a previous full search22:58
