I let the default boot and checked the live-cd feature set first, then proceeded to the "almost" default install (only deviating for manual partitioning with swap and a single ext4 root partition) to check all the standard features and enable the full 3D desktop support (onboard Intel). All very slick! Finally, I accepted all the first-day updates - no surprises. But when advancing to the individual packages, none of the repositories were authenticated. Therefore, I was using the default, generic, "Unites States" repository "selection" so I don't know where the packages were actually pulled from. This happend on two different systems that day, so I suppose there is a chance they chose the same site(s) each time.
I will redo the package installations after hard-coding actual, specific servers to see if, or how often, I can reproduce the trouble.... My development systems are about 50 miles away, and I won't see them again for three days. So I'll plan to do that first thing (Monday). I'm writing back now just to let you know in advance because I did report this as a possible "security" problem and I don't want to add delays. But, apparently, if others aren't complaining by now, then it must have just been a fluke - it was the first day of the release - but I would imagine it shouldn't be possible to get an unauthenticated repository, in any case. -- Software Repositories Missing Authentication https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
