Well this same problem I was complaining about occurred with kde on breezy also. The problem was created by the installer BTW. I didn't go back and change the file. So they really do need to fix it. Also IMHO a firewall should definitely block any traffic coming in FROM THE NETWORK to or from localhost. That's what I was complaining about because the other machine crashed apparently due to receiving this traffic via eth0. I know enough about the internal design of these network devices to know what is really going on there. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
