| iceroot | is there a way to put comments on launchpad with mail? background is, there is an exisitng bug in launchpad and i need to open same thing to LKML and dont want to post it twice also the feedback from LKML would go directly into launchpad | 13:28 |
|---|---|---|
| iceroot | also but others ways to i have to "link" the launchpad-bug to the LKML discussion without just a comment with a link? | 13:28 |
| pleia2 | iceroot: https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface | 13:34 |
| pleia2 | you need to use gpg | 13:34 |
| iceroot | pleia2: great, pgp already setup and linked with launchpad | 13:35 |
| iceroot | pleia2: but the answer from LKML will not get there until they have a gpg on launchpad | 13:36 |

| puff | Hi. I'm not sure if this is an inappropriate question, but... I have a thinkpad t520 running 10.4 LTS and I'd like to upgrade to a more recent release. In the past I've been bitten by significant bugs on each release upgrade, so I'm trying to check into it before upgrading. | 15:09 |
| puff | I searched on launchpad, that shows me only 5 bugs: | 15:09 |

| jibel | bdmurray, could something be done at update-manager level to prevent people reporting bugs like bug 885992 ? | 15:26 |
| Guest29594 | Launchpad bug 885992 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "update manager crashes when starting (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/885992 | 15:26 |
| hggdh | puff: (caveat -- I have not looked at your link, too big and got broken here) first of all, the upgrade path would be 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 | 15:27 |
| hggdh | (when we release 12.04, you can do 10.04 -> 12.04 straight) | 15:28 |
| puff | hggdh: Yeah, I'm waffling between just upgrading to 10.10 (not sure if that would solve enough of my problems) versus reinstalling my / partition to 11.04 or 11.10. | 15:32 |
| puff | I'm leaning strongly towards installing a dual boot of 11.10 alongside 10.4 LTS, so I can quickly switch back to 10.4 if I have problems. | 15:54 |
| Angelo | Hi! :-) | 15:55 |
| Angelo | What should I do to help? | 15:56 |
| puff | thanks for the help folks! | 15:57 |

| elgaton | Hi, I'm triaging bug #882255 (if an empty password is set, Sudo incorrectly prompts for it, so operations requiring administrative privileges are not possible). Which package should I target (sudo, pam...)? I'm asking this also because empty passwords are a security risk and the user, when changing password, should be warned of that (or empty passwords should be not allowed, although this choice is a bit limitative, for example for system accounts). | 18:48 |

| hggdh | and? | 18:52 |
| hggdh | sorry, wrong channel | 18:53 |
| hggdh | elgaton: which password was set to none, and how was it done? | 19:14 |
| hggdh | ? | 19:14 |
| elgaton | hggdh: The password of the main user account was set to an empty one (I think during installation or using the User Account management utilities, haven't asked yet). | 19:15 |
| hggdh | ok, so not the root password (which is set to empty by default) | 19:16 |
| elgaton | hggdh: OK | 19:16 |
| hggdh | elgaton: IIRC, one has to change LightDM's to ask for a password | 19:24 |
| hggdh | elgaton: let me check | 19:24 |
| elgaton | hggdh: Thanks | 19:24 |
| hggdh | darn | 19:27 |
| elgaton | hggdh: What happened? | 19:27 |
| hggdh | elgaton: I know I saw it the other day, but cannot remember where. | 19:27 |
| hggdh | elgaton: you will problably get people that know more of desktop on the #ubuntu-desktop channel | 19:28 |
| elgaton | hggdh: OK, I'll ask there. Thanks for your work | 19:28 |
| elgaton | hggdh: It just came to my mind that it is also possible to change user password using the "passwd" command, so a fix in the GUI part is not enough. | 19:30 |
| elgaton | hggdh: Maybe PAM (used by Sudo as well) could be a possible choice? | 19:31 |
| hggdh | elgaton: it could, but it all depends on what was actually done (i.e., how the OP changed the password, how the system was setup, etc. There may indeed be a bug -- or more -- lurking in there. | 19:33 |
| elgaton | hggdh: OK, I'll setup a test VM and try changing in every possible way (passwd and GUI) and see if I can reproduce the bug, but I think the problem is at the Sudo/PAM level. | 19:34 |
| hggdh | elgaton: it could indeed. But we must understand what was actually done -- command sequence, etc -- so that it would be easier to reproduce, instead of running thru a potentially large number of permutations | 19:35 |
