I agree whole heartedly with Nullack , a bug brought on by a simple
common action that locks you out of your system deserves a higher
priority than low . further the  repermissioning of / is bizzare
enough that even an experienced user might not find it for awhile and if
they did not have the foresight to set a real root password rather than
sudo ( which don't work when the bug occurs) his install would be toast
.

[Bug 250021] Re: copy as root trashes my install

2008-08-15 Thread nullack
I'd like to elaborate on how this bug has an inappropriate priority
since no one with credentials to change it has actioned my suggestion at
raising it. I note that another bug that looks at how Intrepid does not
shutdown using the shutdown menu in Gnome (workaround is to log out and
then shutdown from GDM) has a priority of high. At best, that bug is a
nuisance for user workflow.

Here with this bug we have an error that wrecks the system - it nukes
the install. The solution requires non intuitive use of the command
line. Should this bug pass into production, it could easily lead to
Ubuntu users concluding that Ubuntu lacks expected robustness and
quality. This bug replicates itself in performing fairly common tasks
with file roller.

I expect the priority to be critical. If Ubuntu has a policy statement
on the assignment of priorities (which I havent found so far) then I
will read/review that.

What are you doing Pedro? Can I please encourage you to have a more
considered approach if you want to fiddle with bugs? This bug is not
invalid, and it certainly is not a low priority issue! This is a very
serious problem that trashes the system all together. While there is a
workaround, that workaround is non intuitive for novice users who in
such a case would be forced into an apparent re-install of Ubuntu. This
is certainly the sort of user experience that must be avoided.

If you have some reason why the bug is invalid you need atleast to put a
comment as to why and allow us testers to respond.

There is a discussion about this bug going on at:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=863406page=1

Can someone with credentials to change the importance / priority please
do so.

those comments are still not precise enough to be useful, could you
describe steps to trigger the bug?

- boot on an hardy CD
- open a command line
- sudo nautilus
- go to some directory
- copy some other directory there
- notice that the permissions are wrong

something along those lines which allow to work on the issue

First it is NOT HARDY it IS INTREPID IBEX as I cleary stated in the original 
report . Second it occurs on an hard drive install . As you request I will risk 
my THIRD fresh install , INTREPID IBEX ALPHA 3 fully updated to august 9 (AM US 
east coast) to see if I can provide exact steps to reproduce . It may require 
some time for me to do so since it does not happen every time nautilus is 
invoked as root . the conditions I use to test are as follows .
1. install to hard drive partitioned as / and home and swap . using alternate 
install cd .
2 . update using aptitude safe-upgrade daily morning and night.
3 . use the install for all normal daily functions not requiring absolute data 
integrity .
4. some non default and non OSS aps are installed , Opera browser , flash , 
acroread ,et cetera.
5 the Nvidia driver (177) from the Ubuntu repos is in use , compiz is in use . 

I will post back when I reproduce the bug .

here are the steps by which you can reproduce this bug.
1. in /home/username/subdir using nautilus invoked by gksudo nautilus open a 
tar.bz2 and extract it .
2. close the root nautilus, close the terminal from which it was invoked .
3. open a user nautilus .
4. watch while system fails .
note ! see attached JPG taken of completely unresponsive desktop , I couldn't 
do a normal screenshot because at this point only a hard reset or sysreq rseiub 
is possible .

yes I did not have to even open a file with file-roller , just  invoking

again the permissions of / are being changed to 700 . logging in as root

I do not believe that this is a duplicate of bug#238668 . Perhaps my use of the 
word trashes misled you . I am not reporting a memory leak or any thing about 
trash .
What I am reporting is that using sudo , GKSUDO  nautilus to copy files or 
running file-roller with sudo ,GKSUDO often results in the permissions of the 
root partition ( / ) being alterd to 700 causing the system not to boot all the 
way to GDM. This is not caused by running nautilus with sudo it also occurs 
with GKSUDO .

I will try--but as been said, this happens on a ill-regular basis  when it
occurs, the desktop goes to generic icons  will not respond--you need to do
a hard-reboot to get back  it changes permissions in the system. This,
unless you chmod your system--in effect, locks you out of your install.

possibly other actions also . this sometimes but not always results in

[Bug 250021] Re: copy as root trashes my install

2008-08-08 Thread sojourner
the first tme this occured to me was after copying some files from my
/home/user to as subdir in /usr . I had to do the copy as root so on
that occasion I used sudo ( bad practice I know ) nautilus to invoke a
privlaged nautilus to do the copy. after copying I returned to my /home
and attempted to open one of the files ( a script file) and the system
froze as described by dean loros . the second time it did involve file
roller when I attempted to open an archive from a root nautilus ( this
time invoked by gksudo ) . the bug you originaly marked this as a
duplicate of  bug#238668  refers to a memory-leak with a root nautilus
and the trash Icon and nowhere mentions altered permissions or file
roller .

[Bug 250021] Re: copy as root trashes my install

2008-08-08 Thread Michael Coupet
I also encountered this bug while using file-roller after using nautilus
invoked by gksudo and have encountered bug#238668 before in hardy. The
latter caused an almost unresponsive system, while when encountering
this bug I didn't experience that, but an inablity to run any programs
that were not already open. bug#238668 could be stopped before rendering
the system unusable by simply killing nautilus, but this bug didn't give
me the ability to even try that (no ability to run programs). It is
possible that both stem from the same issue, with super-user privileges
involved, but no other direct ties.

as  Michael Coupet states when this bug occurs you cannot regain control
by killing the root nautilus , infact you cannot kill it because the
system is completly unresponsive and only a hard reset or sysreq rseiub
will reboot the system and the reboot will not start gdm but leaves you
at a terminal login . investigation shows that the permissions for /
have ben changed to 700 (root access only) . logging in to the terminal
as root if you have a root password set and running chmod 755 /
(rwx for root r x for user and others)   restores the system to normal .
