| nathwill | slangasek, any problems with ubiquity i should be aware of before trying to install a 13.04 nightly? | 02:01 |
|---|---|---|
| nathwill | also, FDE is working now, eh? | 02:01 |
| slangasek | FDE? | 02:27 |
| nathwill | full disk encryption | 02:27 |
| nathwill | feel free to verner von braun this | 02:27 |
| slangasek | ah; for a cycle now, yes | 02:27 |
| slangasek | as for ubiquity issues, I'm aware of none | 02:27 |
| nathwill | k. gonna do a clean install on this mac tonite, feeling like living on the edge | 02:28 |
| nathwill | thanks :) | 02:28 |
| nathwill | i'm willing to take the chance on edge cases, but figured you'd know of any major showstoppers | 02:28 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: I assume FDE only works when the entire HDD is encrypted as in no other partitions can be unecrypted | 02:30 |
| slangasek | that seems tautological. ;) | 02:32 |
| nathwill | i don't remember seeing the option during my last 12.10 install, but i remember the EFF lauding praise on y'all for getting it shipped | 02:33 |
| slangasek | I believe the support exposed in the installer UI only allows you to do full-disk encryption, no per-partition encryption | 02:33 |
| cweber10 | ubuntu requires a none encrypted /boot | 02:33 |
| slangasek | right, excepting /boot | 02:34 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: ahh I see... I have this one parition that has this one non-free thing on it and I probably need to bug my fiancee to not need it anymore and move to FDE. | 02:36 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: while at the same time I do not understand what benefits FDE provides over the existing encryption of /home | 02:36 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: imagine that your shipping a corporate customized ubuntu image with some proprietary apps installed in /usr/bin | 02:37 |
| nathwill | or any number of other scenarios where sensitive info may be distributed throughout the filesystem | 02:37 |
| nathwill | *you're | 02:37 |
| cweber10 | fde prevents reading of any folder like /tmp /var /etc and any posible injection of programs into the bin directories | 02:38 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: yeah I guess for integrity of those paths it would be nice | 02:38 |
| bkerensa | and those purposes | 02:38 |
| nathwill | if it's available, i don't know why anyone would pass it up, there's no noticeable performance hit for it | 02:39 |
| bkerensa | wat | 02:41 |
| nathwill | indeed sir | 02:41 |
| bkerensa | some guy on G+ asking when he can install Ubuntu without Windows or DOS | 02:42 |
| bkerensa | https://plus.google.com/u/0/113424166596580975111/posts/Lf9tMXb1Snf | 02:42 |
| bkerensa | x.x | 02:42 |
| nathwill | you're being trolled amigo | 02:42 |
| nathwill | see that malicious smirk? | 02:42 |
| bkerensa | heh | 02:43 |
| bkerensa | idk man | 02:43 |
| bkerensa | he could live in some cave... it happens | 02:43 |
| bkerensa | My trolldar did not go off | 02:43 |
| cweber10 | I find the mention of dos a bit odd. | 02:44 |
| nathwill | alrighty then... back in a bit, going to blow up this laptop for giggles | 02:45 |
| bkerensa | idk in Ghana we California LoCo had someone replacing windows with edubuntu | 02:45 |
| bkerensa | they had installed windows because they did not know how to use linux apps at all | 02:45 |
| bkerensa | so | 02:45 |
| bkerensa | I imagine its possible | 02:45 |
| slangasek | bkerensa: full-disk encryption only encrypts your Ubuntu partitions, not your Windows ones. | 05:22 |
| slangasek | you just don't get to configure whether it encrypts your *full* Ubuntu install or not | 05:24 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: luckily I have no data on Windows partition :) since I never login there | 06:45 |
| bkerensa | :D | 07:56 |
| bkerensa | kees man you hack on too much software | 07:56 |
| bkerensa | :P | 07:56 |
| * bkerensa found you in authors file again | 07:56 | |
| bkerensa | kees: Do you by chance know if libdvdread still has a upstream repo and accepts patches? | 07:58 |
| kees | bkerensa: I think it's kind of dead. I haven't looked recently. VLC might be keeping it currently. | 15:29 |
| kees | hrm, not dead. the snapshot was from october | 15:31 |
| kees | http://github.com/microe/libdvdread | 15:31 |
| kees | (that's the debian split, since it seems that http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/ hasn't been touched in over a year | 15:37 |
| nathwill | so i got to have a party with EFI last night :/ | 23:14 |
| nathwill | which basically comes down to "macs are stupid" | 23:14 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: :D | 23:30 |
| nathwill | srsly. | 23:31 |
| nathwill | though it ended well. i no longer have to hold the option key to boot the machine :) | 23:31 |
| bkerensa | heh | 23:59 |
