[13:34] iceroot: https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface [13:34] you need to use gpg [13:35] pleia2: great, pgp already setup and linked with launchpad [13:36] pleia2: but the answer from LKML will not get there until they have a gpg on launchpad === tgall_foo is now known as Dr_Who === ara is now known as Guest77757 [15:09] 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] I searched on launchpad, that shows me only 5 bugs: [15:09] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=t520&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package= [15:26] bdmurray, could something be done at update-manager level to prevent people reporting bugs like bug 885992 ? [15:26] Launchpad bug 885992 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "update manager crashes when starting (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/885992 [15:27] 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 [15:28] (when we release 12.04, you can do 10.04 -> 12.04 straight) [15:32] 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. [15:54] 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. [15:55] Hi! :-) [15:56] What should I do to help?

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).

[18:53] sorry, wrong channel [19:14] elgaton: which password was set to none, and how was it done? [19:14] ? [19:15] 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). [19:16] ok, so not the root password (which is set to empty by default) [19:16] hggdh: OK [19:24] elgaton: IIRC, one has to change LightDM's to ask for a password [19:24] elgaton: let me check [19:24] hggdh: Thanks [19:27] darn [19:27] hggdh: What happened? [19:27] elgaton: I know I saw it the other day, but cannot remember where. [19:28] elgaton: you will problably get people that know more of desktop on the #ubuntu-desktop channel [19:28] hggdh: OK, I'll ask there. Thanks for your work [19:30] 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. [19:31] hggdh: Maybe PAM (used by Sudo as well) could be a possible choice? [19:33] 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. [19:34] 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. [19:35] 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 === tgall_foo is now known as Dr_Who === Elbrus_ is now known as Elbrus [19:46] hggdh: OK, I'll test thoroughly [19:47] Thanks again === zz_jhelwig is now known as jhelwig === zz_jhelwig is now known as jhelwig === yofel_ is now known as yofel
