Package: spectre-meltdown-checker Version: 0.32-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to run spectre-meltdown-checker as a normal user first - /home/shirish> spectre-meltdown-checker Spectre and Meltdown mitigation detection tool v0.32 Note that you should launch this script with root privileges to get accurate information. We'll proceed but you might see permission denied errors. To run it as root, you can try the following command: sudo /usr/bin/spectre-meltdown-checker if it needs roots privileges, shouldn't it be in /usr/sbin/spectre-meltdown-checker ? It kinda feels twisted especially when you see that it's the kernel which is being looked into, not the userspace. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
