ali1234what does it mean when i see "sync with debian unstable. remaining changes:" in a changelog?04:11
ali1234what are remaining changes?04:11
Unit193https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/4.12.1-3ubuntu1 like this, they're supposed to be listed below.04:13
ali1234yes but what are remaining changes?04:13
ali1234in what sense are they remaining? where can i find them?04:14
ali1234what is the meaning of + and -?04:14
Unit193The listed changes were done before, they're being merged into the Debian package.04:14
Unit193Basically, indenting levels.  '*' is always firstlevel, "-" tends to be second, '+' tends to be third.04:15
ali1234so the remaining changes should all be things found in patches?04:15
Unit193Or other files under debian/, eg I could change d/rules to drop something or other.  We used that in parole to strip a flag, until I put that in Debian's d/rules.04:16
ali1234i'm confused about the openssl package and this changelog https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.1.1f-1ubuntu104:18
ali1234it says among other things: Revert "Enable system default config to enforce TLS1.2 as a minimum" & "Increase default security level from 1 to 2".04:18
ali1234and also "Set OPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL=2 as compiled-in minimum security level. Change meaning of SECURITY_LEVEL=2 to prohibit TLS versions below 1.2 and update documentation. Previous default of 1, can be set by calling SSL_CTX_set_security_level(), SSL_set_security_level() or using ':@SECLEVEL=1' CipherString value in openssl.cfg."04:19
Unit193Debian upped the minimum, Ubuntu doesn't want to up that, so they revert that change.04:19
ali1234now firstly it seems like these two changes cancel each other out04:19
ali1234revert the change to default seclevel=2 and then change the default seclevel to 204:20
ali1234secondly i can't see any evidence that either of these things are actually done in the package04:20
ali1234and thirdly openssl on 20.04 always behaves as if seclevel=204:20
ali1234and i find this really confusing04:20
ali1234i will go and bug xnox about this tomorrow :)04:22
Unit193\o/04:24
ali1234ah i see the problem04:55
hgdrnGood morning from Germany. For those of you who don't know XDMCP and want to play around with it, here a few sentences how to set up a VirtualBox and enable XDMCP.08:59
Unit193FWIW, I do not now specifically where you should file said bug nor where to send for the best support.  #ubuntu is a support channel, but I can't imagine they'd know the ins and outs of XDMCP.  I'd question if a forum post of askubuntu might help.09:00
hgdrnDownload xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso, create a new VM with Virtualbox, mount the ISO, boot VM and install Xubuntu. Boot Xubuntu, configure the network (I use a static ipv4 and bridged networking for the VM). Log in as the created user. Do an initial "sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade". Install OpenSSH and Xnest (sudo apt install09:02
hgdrnopenssh-server xnest). Add a second user ("sudo adduser foobar"). Enable XDMCP for lightdm:09:02
hgdrnecho "[XDMCPServer]" > /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xdmcp.conf09:03
hgdrnecho "enabled=true" >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xdmcp.conf09:03
hgdrnRestart lightdm, login as initial user again. Open a terminal. Call "Xnest -geometry 1024x786 -query localhost :42". Login as second user: xiccd crahes. Instead of Xnest you might start an XDMCP session from a Windows machine with MobaXTerm or VcXsrv.09:06
Unit193Meh, well Debian 878069 wasn't a whole lot of help.09:06
ubottuDebian bug 878069 in lightdm "lightdm: xdmcp broken" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/87806909:06
hgdrnThat's all. I don't want to bother you more with this XDMCP stuff. But for those of you who are to young to know it this might help. ;-)  Over and out.09:07
Unit193https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bugs?field.searchtext=xdmcp hmm..09:10
hgdrnDon't know if lightdm is broken in Debian 9, in fact Lightdm is working with XDMCP even with (X)Ubuntu 20.04. It's more the programs that do not, e.g. xiccd crahes with SIGSEV after logging in via XDMCP.09:14
Unit193As ali1234 had mentioned before, something having to do with dbus sounds a bit complicated.09:17
hgdrnYes, but I don't know what that means. As I said yesterday I'm just a user and therefor I'm going to be silent now, because I don't to disturb you with this stuff longer. I'll try to find out which programs makes something I don't expect and will try to find the bugtracker. ;)09:29
hgdrnFYI: I tried x2go again. It brings its own, internal VcXsrv for the Windows client, funny. In the current version it seems to be a slower (why, I don't know) but working replacement for my setup. Please concentrate on other things. This is really the last statement from my side. Bye. ;)10:01
