[Bug 116773] Re: logcheck in dapper reports normal syslog restarts

2008-03-30 Thread Jonathan Hitchcock
In /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/syslogd, there is already a regular expression to match these sorts of things: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ syslogd [.0-9]{5}#[0-9]+: restart \(remote reception\)\.$ However, as the original poster points out, this regular expression does not actually work

My gnome-system-tools menu items use gksu, as described above. However, this stops them from working. I get the same problem that is described in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/5100 - it tells me that my password is invalid. Running, for example, disks-admin from a root

2006-06-16 Thread Jonathan Hitchcock
I installed from a Dapper liveCD a few days ago, and manually created my partitions using the install program's tool. However, when I rebooted, I got an error that is the equivalent of the old non-system disk or disk error. Basically, none of my partitions were marked with the bootable flag, and

I can confirm this on an Intel dual core Pentium. I synchronized my clock with an NTP server on Friday, and started up NTP, which should have kept it in sync. I rebooted today (Sunday) to install a video card, and my clock is several hours wrong again - I suspect because it got set from the

apticron's purpose is to be run by cron every so often, and check the apt repositories. It completely fails to run in edgy and feisty, because it uses dash- incompatible bashisms, and edgy and feisty use dash. Surely completely failing to run is at least equivalent to a crash? -- Bashism in

I didn't say you should run update-java-alternatives. I am aware that you do not want to overwrite the user's choices. This, however, is exactly the problem. The user's choices are currently LOST, because the path changes. We need to keep the user's choices from upgrade to upgrade. If you

I don't think it's specific to sun-java5 - it would happen regardless of which JDK was selected, and which was upgraded, wouldn't it? In fact, it will actually happen to any /etc/alternatives link, whether java or otherwise, which includes a version name in the path of the target. -- java
