Regarding the bug in lastcomm for the noble repository:
# lastcomm
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
I have a temporary fix which seems to work. The fix is based on the
confirmation that lastcomm is properly patched in plucky, but not yet
patched in noble.
* Update apt.
* Add the plucky repository to ubuntu.sources.
* Update apt a second time, this will
* Install lastcomm
* Remove the plucky repository
The specific steps are:
$ sudo apt update
##Update /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu to include the lines:
$ sudo cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
Types: deb
URIs: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: plucky-security
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
^D
$ sudo apt-update
$ sudo apt install lastcomm
To test the installation:
$ sudo lastcomm|head
kworker/dying F root __ 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 12:32
man root pts/3 0.01 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
man F X root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
head root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
col root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
nroff root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
groff root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
grotty root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
troff root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
tbl root pts/3 0.00 secs Mon Mar 24 13:05
The cleanup step is to delete the added lines in ubuntu.sources and
update apt.
$ sudo cat > /etc/apt/sopurces.list.d/ubuntu.sources
Types: deb
URIs: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports

^D
$sudo apt update
At this point, the installation of lastcomm will not show in the list of
installed packages. The application is properly installed and working,
just no longer in the repositories being checked for installations.
Hopefully the noble package will will be properly updated soon.
