alourieI am trying to upgrade my VM installation to 12.04 and get this: W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found10:40
alouriewhat do I do?10:40
mvoalourie: you could simply comment it out for now and run the upgrade again10:42
mvostgraber: ^--- would be nice if extras.ubuntu.com could get a precise archive :)10:42
alouriemvo: archvive? you mean in apt.conf?10:47
alouriesorry10:47
alouriecomment out in config?10:47
mvoalourie: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove extras there, but note that 12.04 is very much in flux and unstable (just as a warning ;)10:51
alourieright10:51
alourieI commented in .distUpgrade10:51
alourie...and it didn't help10:51
alourieok, I'll try the main list10:51
alouriethanks10:52
stgrabermvo: argh, fixing that now :)14:16
stgrabermvo: fixed on LP's side (published and then removed a package). Issue should be fixed on extras.u.c next time it's mirrored14:38

bdmurraypedro_: can you look at bug 882255?15:05
ubot4Launchpad bug 882255 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "No administrative actions possible (password refused) after enabling passwordless login (affects: 2) (heat: 20)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88225515:05
pedro_bdmurray, looking at it now15:06
bdmurraypedro_: thanks15:07
seb128bdmurray, pedro_: doesn't seem to be a gnome-control-center issue15:13
bdmurrayseb128: what do you think then?15:16
seb128not sure, likely accountsservice15:18
seb128or not a bug15:18
seb128seems wrong to give sudo rights to an unsecure users15:18
seb128it would require to determine what that should do first15:18
seb128check with the security team if they agree that non-password logins should get admin rights15:19
pedro_yeah having users without a pass with admins rights seems really wrong15:19
pedro_i'll subscribe the security team so they can have an opinion on it15:19
seb128options I see are:15:20
bdmurrayWhen you go to user accounts I believe it behaves differently if you just click "Automatic Login" vs clicking on the Password button15:20
seb128- get g-c-c to display a warning that sudo rights will be revoked15:20
seb128bdmurray, right, autologin still has a password, it just skips the login manager credential for you15:20
seb128you will have to enter your password still for authentification, keyring, sudio15:20
seb128sudo15:21
seb128no-password account mean you have no password at all15:21
bdmurrayyes, I think the bug here is if you click password choose "auto-login" in the drop down box your password is removed15:21
seb128well options would be: display a warning that such users can't access admin right, or revoke that check and let them be admin, or drop the option from the ui15:22
seb128bdmurray, no, it's not "autologin", it's "no password login"15:22
seb128they are different things15:22
seb128the autologin is a switch button on the account dialog mainpage under the password option15:23
seb128the "no password" means "set an empty password for my user"15:23
bdmurrayOkay, perhaps the distinction should be clearer15:24
seb128yeah, I don't deny it's an issue15:25
seb128not sure what's the right way to fix it though15:26
seb128one first step would be to improve the wording and make it clear it will disable admin rights15:26
seb128second step might be to not disable admin rights for those users but that's something to check with the security team15:26
seb128not sure that's a good idea to do that15:27

okeeUbuntu crashed on install, and now I have a purple screen with no desktop, but I do have a top menu bar and the ability to shut down.  Do I need to install Ubuntu first with a dual boot?17:18
mvobdmurray: yeah, rookery is outdated :(17:20

bdmurraypedro_: Do you know what happened to rhythmbox-client in 11.10?19:35
pedro_bdmurray, it was removed from the upstream tarball : http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/commit/?id=9d4e5bcf1e969caa2f9848340ec610792c6a29d119:38

pedro_i'll check19:40
pedro_bdmurray, right, and we're using a git snapshot from 20110908 so the client is not there19:41
pedro_commenting on the bug now19:41
pedro_should be there on Precise19:42
pedro_when it gets the new package19:42
bdmurrayDoesn't really seem SRUable does it?19:42
pedro_It's a whole re write of the client, so I'd say is not a candidate for SRU19:44
