[Bug 646777] Re: security alert: path race exploited in recursion
As pointed out by Chris Dumont in the matching Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611659#20 the problem here is not the symlink, but the fact that the update.cf from the examples directory is still using the old path, thus causing the symlink to be used, whereas it can just as easily point directly at /etc/cfengine3, so don't mess around with the symlinks, particularly since that breaks FHS, but rather just fix the broken example configuration file.

[Bug 380303] Re: thinkpad-acpi X200 Thinkpad fan fails to spin down .
@Michael Eklund Thanks for persisting in commenting on this bug -- it's also present in Debian Squeeze (as one would expect from such a generic cause). @Florian M. The command I think he's suggesting is: iwconfig wlan0 power on As one can see in this (edited) output: root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0 ... Power Management:off ... root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0 power on root@poker:~# iwconfig wlan0 ... Power Management:on ... Having tried turning on power management, the result is not quite as neat and obvious for me as described by Micheal, but it seems that the same thing may well be going on, and if I turn of the wifi completely (with the switch on the side of the laptop) then it drops the temperature enough to result in a quiet fan. Power management on the wifi does drop the temperature a few degrees, but I think it's still just a little to high to let the fan throttle back in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380303 Title: thinkpad-acpi X200 Thinkpad fan fails to spin down . -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
The cause of this (assuming that it's the same bug as I've been tracking in Debian Squeeze) is that the LVM data is on the disk, but the partitions are not, so when it tries to look for pre-existing PVs it finds none. Then it sets up the partitions, and assuming the partitions are created in the same place, the partitions that are created are then revealed to contain the previous LVM data, which throws a spanner in the works. As a work around, I've modified /lib/partman/lib/auto-lvm.sh, just below thse lines: open_dialog COMMIT close_dialog adding: sleep 10 pvs --all /dev/null device_remove_lvm $dev The sleep is to allow things to settle after the partitions are created by the COMMIT. This should really be detecting when the partitions are ready, rather than just pausing for a while. The 'pvs --all' seems to kick pvs such that it then lists the information we need -- without that it reacts as though the PVs are not there. and then we can remove the lvm info from the device. With that change the install works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154086 Title: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 230387] Re: [needs-packaging] arduino
It might be of interest to anyone packaging the IDE that I've started a package of the bits needed to build any upload sketches without the IDE -- Personally, I don't care for IDEs so wouldn't want to be responsible for maintaining a package containing it, as I wouldn't be eating my own dog food, but I'd welcome anyone that wants to take my package and add the IDE back in -- all I've done is leave the source I didn't need out of the upstream branch of the git repository: http://git.debian.org/?p =collab-maint/arduino.git My blog post about it is here: http://wiki.hands.com//chezfil/entry/arduino_for_the_java_challenged/ -- [needs-packaging] arduino https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
