[01:02] <Rocket2DMn> Hey guys, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo?action=diff&rev1=114&rev2=115
[01:03] <Rocket2DMn> Do we want to allow explanations of how to enable the root account, root is disabled by default as part of Ubuntu's security model
[01:04] <Rocket2DMn> I am against having that info there.  On the forums we don't support enabling the root account for login
[01:06] <Rocket2DMn> oops wrong channel!sorry!
[01:19] <kees> Rocket2DMn: (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] <Rocket2DMn> kees, ubuntu-doc
[01:20] <Rocket2DMn> kees, anybody that REALLY needs root likely already knows how to get it
[01:21] <kees> Rocket2DMn: that is probably true.  :)
[01:21] <Rocket2DMn> I had a short discussion in the doc channel (a team of which i am a part), and will email the doc team mailing list
[01:22]  * kees nods
[01:22] <kees> I 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.
[01:23] <Rocket2DMn> Yes, we should be supporting the Ubuntu way
[01:23] <kees> well, I mean, it's a bug if people can't set a root password.  :)
[01:23] <Rocket2DMn> On 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 model
[01:24] <kees> heh

[17:42] <Trijntje> Firefox just crashed and apport generated an error report. Now launchepad is asking if the bug is one of those listed. I don't have a clue
[17:45] <BUGabundo1> Trijntje: 3.1?
[17:45] <BUGabundo1> if yes, known bug
[17:46] <greg-g> Trijntje: if you are not sure, go ahead and open a new one (last option at the bottom of the page) and someone else can help decide
[17:46] <greg-g> BUGabundo1: not every crash of Fx 3.1 is a known bug.
[17:46] <Trijntje> greg-g: ok, ill do that than, thnx
[17:47] <greg-g> Trijntje: no problem, thanks for helping!
[17:49] <BUGabundo1> greg-g: well the common one is it fireing apport after clicking on an external link
[17:49] <greg-g> BUGabundo1: common, not all.
[17:49] <BUGabundo1> no? I get a bunc of them ALL day, every day
[17:49] <greg-g> no.
[17:49] <BUGabundo1> asac as even commented on it
[17:50] <greg-g> that all Fx crashes should not be reported?
[17:51] <BUGabundo1> not when it's a known dupe
[17:51] <greg-g> BUGabundo1: of course not, and not all crashes are known dupes.
[17:51] <BUGabundo1> this one seem to be
[17:51] <BUGabundo1> *this* one of course

[17:52] <Trijntje> I only said 'firefox crashed', thats very little information to determine wether it is a duplicate or not ;)
[17:52] <BUGabundo1> if it is serious it will happen again
[17:52] <BUGabundo1> and my machine was with HUGE IO disk so itthe cause!
[17:53] <BUGabundo1> stuff fails to flsuhs to disk and crash
[17:53] <BUGabundo1> I DIDN'T say it was that dupe
[17:53] <BUGabundo1> I just asked for more information
[17:53] <BUGabundo1> if it was 3.1 and you used an external link
[17:54] <greg-g> BUGabundo1: you didn't ask if they clicked an external link, just if it was 3.1
[17:54] <BUGabundo1> maybe it missed the IRC
[17:54] <BUGabundo1> LOLOL
[17:54] <Trijntje> it 3.0.7, and it happend on switching from metacity to compiz
[17:55] <BUGabundo1> stuff is slowwwwwwwwwwwwww here! damn multiGiB copy
[17:55] <andresmujica> aha
[17:55] <BUGabundo1> Trijntje: 1st time I hear about that!
[17:55] <BUGabundo1> but then again I don't use 3.0
[17:55] <BUGabundo1> its to slow compared to 3.1
[17:55] <BUGabundo1> I can't go back
[17:56] <Trijntje> BUGabundo1: Maybe it was a 'lucky shot', I can imagen that not many people switch compiz and metacity a lot
[17:57] <BUGabundo1> I used to.... when it worked
[17:59] <Trijntje> how do you mean?
[17:59] <BUGabundo1> for some reason compiz --replace is not working
[17:59] <BUGabundo1> mvo asked me to report it, but I hadhave the time yet
[18:00] <hggdh> it works for me (every login I have to do it)
[18:01] <BUGabundo1> hggdh:  jaunty? (e vens ao jantar tb?)
[18:01] <Trijntje> I just switch because its hard to game when you keep switching to another desktop ;)
[18:01] <hggdh> yes, Jaunty (provavelmente não, já que estou a morar em Texas ;-)
[18:02] <BUGabundo1> hggdh: ok didn't now! you have to visit us dude!
[18:03] <hggdh> BUGabundo1, believe me, getting to Portugal (and Europe, in general) is continuously in my mind... even more with a son living in Belgium

[20:31] <linuxwarrior> hey
[20:31] <linuxwarrior> I just upgraded my system to intrepid :D
[20:31] <linuxwarrior> and ran into a lot of trouble
[20:32] <linuxwarrior> I installed it from a live cd set on one of the disk partition
[20:32] <linuxwarrior> when gettin to install it
[20:33] <linuxwarrior> the prepared disk page was blank
[20:33] <linuxwarrior> that one was resolved somehow on launchpad
[20:34] <linuxwarrior> then after that grub doesnt update its menu.lst
[20:34] <linuxwarrior> and vmlinuz in /boot is missing
[20:35] <linuxwarrior> thus i had to reinstall the linux headers and image ... :S
[20:38] <linuxwarrior> it seems like a quite of undecided/new  bugs on launchpad  regarding intrepid upgrade or install are related to Ubiquity, grub and parted
[20:39] <linuxwarrior> just wanted to share cheers
