<Slant_Laptop_> dufresnep: Kernel.

<Slant_Laptop_> isapnp was moved in-kernel years ago.

<pradeep> is there a way to subscribe to security bugs(a bug reported as a vulnerability) automatically?

<Burgundavia> pradeep: you need to part of the security team

<pradeep> Burgundavia, since that needs approval, is there any other way?

<Burgundavia> no, for good reason

<pradeep> oh i c :(

<Burgundavia> pradeep: if anybody could see all security bugs, the black hats would figure it out quite quickly

<pradeep> Burgundavia, yes i understand. But a black-hat can still see a bug marked as a sec vuln through launchpad.

<Burgundavia> umm?

<Burgundavia> got a link to prove that?

<pradeep> this one: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/68695

<Ubugtu> Malone bug 68695 in gnome-screensaver "Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when the screen is locked kills the X session" [Undecided,Confirmed]

<Burgundavia> you also need to tag something as confidential

<Burgundavia> if you file a bug as a security vuln, it does both

<pradeep> Burgundavia, are you saying the bug above should be hidden now? I can still see/search for it even if I logout.

<Burgundavia> pradeep: no, because you did not check the "cofidential" button

<Burgundavia> if you report a new security vuln, both of those boxes get checked

<pradeep> ok

<Burgundavia> however, if the bug has already become publicly available and is still a security issue, it does not make sense to make it confidential

<Burgundavia> ajmitch: can I ask a general policy question?

<ajmitch> you may

<ajmitch> doesn't mean I can answer

<Burgundavia> can I go through all the samba bugs that have nothing for over 6 months and set them as needifno?

<Burgundavia> assuming of course, the us

<ajmitch> certainly, if the bug is still waiting on information

<ajmitch> waiting for information from the submitter, that is

<Burgundavia> ok, playing with -directory package bugs

<ajmitch> thanks

<bddebian> Boo

<tuxmaniac> bddebian>

<tuxmaniac> I have an issue

<bddebian> Don't we all? :-)

<tuxmaniac> When I do a sudo gdmsetup it says

<tuxmaniac> Unable to Access GDM Configuration file

<tuxmaniac> similar bug report exists in bug 46193

<Ubugtu> Malone bug 46193 in gdm "First attempt to login on gdm fails" [Unknown,Rejected] http://launchpad.net/bugs/46193

<tuxmaniac> But i am able to login and all

<tuxmaniac> I tried reinstalling every damn thing related to gdm, ubuntu desktop

<tuxmaniac> No success

<Hobbsee> tuxmaniac: why are you unable to access it?

<tuxmaniac> A change in the gdm.conf file does _not_ reflect.

<tuxmaniac> Hobbsee> :( Thats why I am asking here

<tuxmaniac> the permissions are fine

<Hobbsee> ah, okay

<tuxmaniac> I change the theme in gdm.conf file but it still defaults

<tuxmaniac> event he soft link at /etc/X11 seems to be fine

<tuxmaniac> I am wondering from where is this pciking up the configuration if it is not accessing the gdm.conf file?

<tuxmaniac> Any clues guys??

<tuxmaniac> Am struggling with it

<bddebian> Dunno, sorry :_(

<Hobbsee> what happens if you remove that file?

<tuxmaniac> I even did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

<tuxmaniac> Hobbsee> I have not tested that :-)

<tuxmaniac> Should I?

<Hobbsee> try moving it out of the way or something

<tuxmaniac> When I access it via the Menu System-> Administrator -> Login Wndow

<tuxmaniac> It asks for the root password and then nothing happens

<tuxmaniac> Hobbsee> ok Let me try that

<tepsipakki> tuxmaniac: you should put your own settings in gdm.conf-custom

<tepsipakki> see if that helps

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> let me try what Hobbsee told and then I will give yours a shot

<tuxmaniac> LOL. Hobbsee the system just keeps blinking

<Hobbsee> oh dear. that doesnt sound good

<tuxmaniac> I mean the cursor keeps blinking If I do that

<Hobbsee> ah

* Hobbsee shrugs

<tuxmaniac> I had to put back the gdm.conf file and then restart to get back

<tuxmaniac> Heh.

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> Any idea why the system is unable to find that bloody file?

<tepsipakki> gdmsetup is looking for gdm.conf-custom

<tepsipakki> at least that's what is said in that file :)

<tepsipakki> as it will make the modifications in it

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> No success :-(

<tuxmaniac> I created the gdm.conf-custom file still same problem

<tepsipakki> created where?

<tuxmaniac> /etc/gdm

<tepsipakki> it wasn't there before?

<tepsipakki> I mean, there was no such file

<tuxmaniac> No

<tepsipakki> what version is this?

<tuxmaniac> I am using edgy

<tepsipakki> fresh install or an upgrade?

<tuxmaniac> 2.16.1-0ubuntu4

<tuxmaniac> Upgrade

<tepsipakki> try purging gdm and reinstalling it

<tepsipakki> the file should have a correct syntax

<tepsipakki> i think

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> Removing gdm ...

<tuxmaniac> hostname: Unknown host

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> does that ring a bell?

<tepsipakki> no

* tuxmaniac purges and reinstalls

* tuxmaniac goes for reboot

<tepsipakki> it's something in the prerm

<tuxmaniac> I mean logout

<tepsipakki> make sure that /etc/gdm is clean

<tuxmaniac> oh oh that prerm stuff

<tepsipakki> then install

<tuxmaniac> Yes its clean and I am reinstalls

<tuxmaniac> reinstalling

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Yay!!!

<tuxmaniac> a purge and a Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

<tuxmaniac> and yes. Everything is back to normalcy

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> thanks a million

<tepsipakki> np

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> I got other bugs to now look into. Thats 1 down for the day :D

<tepsipakki> me too ;)

<tepsipakki> maybe a simple --force-confmiss or similar would've been enough

<tepsipakki> when reinstalling

<tepsipakki> but purge works

<tuxmaniac> tepsipakki> hmm

<tepsipakki> since gdm.conf* files are conffiles, they won't be created if missing

<tepsipakki> I've been bitten by that as well

<tepsipakki> with another package
