lotuspsychjehey TJ-11:18
TJ-g'morning (just)11:20
lotuspsychjemgedmin: i reworked my dock bug a bit; bug #190236711:37
ubot5bug 1902367 in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) "Dock does not allow icons drag on free space" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/190236711:37
lotuspsychjeTJ-: checkout the nice wiki daniel edited for us, pre bug team in #ubuntu-bugs-announce https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses11:40
TJ-I alreayd see a bug in the bug responses :D11:41
TJ-"1. Hold Right-Shift during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu. "   --- not on UEFI11:42
lotuspsychjelol, shoot11:42
lotuspsychjeyeah11:43
TJ-Also, just noticed a GDPR issue11:43
lotuspsychjewhat about11:44
TJ-"Missing a crash report or having a .crash attachment" --> "...content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id ..." -> on mine includes my name@hostname11:44
TJ-but, so far as I've seen, there is no GDPR notice on submitting bugs using ubuntu-bug or others11:45
TJ-it's definitely PII11:45
lotuspsychjegdpr is such a cashmule TJ-11:46
TJ-not really; it's just about respecting and informing people and getting their permission11:46
lotuspsychjeduring corona a lot of restaurant & pubs have an oopen book register, where any customer can just browse all the previous users11:46
lotuspsychjehow does that fit in gdpr11:47
TJ- User jack@somedomain might report bugs in a series of programs and upload crash reports that, combined, can easily identify both him and the things he does and uses11:47
TJ-lotuspsychje: here in the UK the law was amended to allow it11:47
lotuspsychjeTJ-: allow open registers?11:48
lotuspsychjeTJ-: agree on crash bugs can reveal sensitive info11:48
lotuspsychjethought ive readed something in the future would be edited in dmesg to not reveal sensitive info11:49
lotuspsychjehttps://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-20.10-dmesg-Needs-Root11:51
lotuspsychjedidnt test it yet on 20.1011:51
TJ-i've rarely seen sensitive info in kernel log11:53
TJ-that's usually in system service logs, like NetworkManager11:54
lotuspsychjeyeah11:56
mgedminI got the impression the "sensitive info" is kernel addresses that could help malware defat KASLR11:59
TJ-that'd make more sense12:01

lotuspsychjethe trolls methods, hunt old askubuntu threads and ask them in #ubuntu :p15:24

lapionhi I solved my problem..17:26
jeremy31A divorce fixed it?17:26
lapionI found my March 2020 backup17:27
lapionI divorced from my fresh install17:27
lapionunpacked my tar.xz file and did an upgrade to 20.0417:27
lapionnow I have my unmerged lib+bin usr/lib+bin folders17:29
mgedminwhat was your problem with the merged /usr?17:35
tomreynthat's a secret, and it will always remain that.19:53
tomreynright, lapion?19:53
lapionThe binaries and libraries in the root fs meant for system maintenance and should be universal for the platform19:55
lapionOne should be able to create a root filesystem that has a remote /usr mount that only gets mounted upon necessity19:56
daftykinslol19:57
mgedminah, arbitrary abstract principles rather than an actual problem19:58
daftykinsso upgrades don't go too well when you break the OS to begin huh? who knew!?19:58
mgedmin(initramfs should be able to mount both / and /usr)19:58
lapionBesides athat a system running in maintenance mode should be able to be limited to maintenance binaries20:03
lapionit's not possible to do that if all binaries are linked into the same dirs as the root bin/lib dirs20:04
tomreynthe recovery system works fine, as far as i know20:13
tomreynbusybox, too20:13
