Public bug reported: data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py contains the following:
if os.path.exists('/var/log/installer/debug'): response = ui.yesno("The debug log file from your installation would help us a lot but includes the password you used for your user when installing Ubuntu. Do you want to include this log file?") This gives users who are filing installation bugs the impression that their password is being logged in clear text to a log file. This is only the case if ubiquity is being run in debugging mode, not during normal operation. The apport hook should determine if the debug file actually contains debugging information before prompting the user with this scary error message. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: rls-t-incoming ** Tags added: rls-t-incoming -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257159 Title: ubiquity apport hook shouldn't suggest password is in log file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1257159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
