|---|---|---|
| studio-user153 | Good Night | 02:09 |
| OvenWerks | leftist: Studio uses xfce | 02:10 |
| OvenWerks | the guys in xubuntu probably have a better answer. | 02:11 |
| OvenWerks | leftist: Studio is (right now) based on xubuntu with system tweaks and kernel to allow better lowlatency work | 02:12 |
| leftist | yes i use it | 02:12 |
| leftist | works fabulously | 02:13 |
| leftist | i'm still a compiz head from the old days but i'll just use compiz on another laptop and just keep studio native since it works right | 02:13 |
| leftist | yeah i will just keep it native | 02:14 |
| leftist | thanks video toaster opps oven guy ;D | 02:14 |
| leftist | oven werks :D | 02:14 |

| SoundPro69 | Hi there, good morning / afternoon to everyone. I am trying to install the dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb package (downloaded from http://www.dvdae.com/dvdae/dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb) which is for DVDAudioExtractor and it is failing the Lintian test as "bad quality", mostly due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions. Any clues please? | 14:09 |
| SoundPro69 | I am on a DELL Latitude E6230 laptop running i5 with 8GB or ram on Ubuntu Studio 15.10 | 14:10 |

| SoundPro69 | Hi there, good morning / afternoon to everyone. I am trying to install the dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb package (downloaded from http://www.dvdae.com/dvdae/dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb) which is for DVDAudioExtractor and it is failing the Lintian test as "bad quality", mostly due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions. Any clues please? | 23:12 |
| SoundPro69 | I am on a DELL Latitude E6230 laptop running i5 with 8GB or ram on Ubuntu Studio 15.10 | 23:12 |
| SoundPro69 | Anyone there who can give me clue? | 23:25 |
| SoundPro69 | What does failing the Lintian test as "bad quality", mostly due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions mean? Should I install anyway? | 23:26 |
| SoundPro69 | No one there apparently... | 23:35 |
| zequence | SoundPro69: Lintian test measures a package accoring to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ | 23:44 |
| zequence | Yes, we are all here, but not active all the time :) | 23:45 |
| SoundPro69 | So, how dangerous is it to install anyway if the issues are as per above? | 23:45 |
| zequence | That is mostly a question of how much you trust the packager | 23:45 |
| SoundPro69 | I noticed more than one downloaded .deb package gives me the warning. | 23:46 |
| SoundPro69 | I guess it's pretty strict | 23:46 |
| zequence | The Debian policy tries to make sure the package is ok, but just because a package breaks against the policy in some way doesn't mean it automatically is bad | 23:46 |
| SoundPro69 | I see. | 23:47 |
| zequence | The Debian policy takes into account the infrastructure of the whole system | 23:47 |
| zequence | A single package may not be so broadminded | 23:47 |
| zequence | If you really want to know in which way it is bad, you need to learn in which way it breaks agains the policy | 23:48 |
| zequence | The error message should give you a clue | 23:49 |
| SoundPro69 | Yes. It says due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions | 23:49 |
| zequence | uid stand for "user id". Not sure why the files in the binary package has the wrong uid's. Usually root (i.e. uid == 0) owns those files | 23:51 |
| zequence | I'm not an expert in the policy in any way | 23:52 |
| zequence | Bad permissions I don't know how to interpret, but perhaps that is related | 23:52 |
| zequence | If you want to see what happened after installation, chech which files were installed with the command: dpkg -L <package> | 23:53 |
| zequence | In any case, if it is a binary package, you never know what you get, unless you study the code. If there's no source code, it's pretty hard to tell. | 23:55 |
| zequence | SoundPro69: This sort of stuff is not specific to Ubuntu Studio, so if you would like more eyes on the problem I would use more generic channels, such as #ubuntu, or the like | 23:56 |
| SoundPro69 | Is it easy to remove a deb if it complicates things in my system or could it leave bad dependencies on? | 23:56 |
| zequence | You are always welcome here too, of course :) | 23:56 |
| zequence | A .deb file in itself does not add any non-system dependencies | 23:57 |
| zequence | So, in that sense, it is pretty safe | 23:57 |
| SoundPro69 | You're the man! Thank you so much for all your help! Happy new year! | 23:57 |
| zequence | SoundPro69: To you as well! | 23:57 |
| SoundPro69 | :-) | 23:57 |
