[Bug 49815] users-admin removes privileges after deleting user
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools We create a temporary user during installation. Later we create the real users (some with admin privileges) and then delete the initially created user. We find that deleting the initial temp user causes other admins to be removed from many of the groups to which they were previously assigned (including admin). Steps to reproduce: 1) Install dapper and create a temporary user 'temp' 2) After installation create a new user 'newuser' using users-admin with admin privileges (we also use a non-standard UID if this matters, something >13000) 3) Delete the initial temp user using users-admin and apply. 4) Look at /etc/group and see that newuser has been removed from most of the optional groups, including admin.

[Bug 110284] Duplex collation is not configured correctly in openoffice
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org There are a couple of problems when printing a multi-page document on a duplex-capable printer in openoffice. If you have a 4 page document (1,2,3,4) and print it on a duplex printer it should come out on 2 pages (1,2) and (3,4). However if you create such a document in openoffice and then choose to print 2 copies the pages will come out as (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4) ie the collation doesn't account for the printer working in duplex mode. This has been reported (not by me) to openoffice as: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46953 However they say that the reason for the bug is that the printer was not configured to work correctly with openoffice by running spadmin. Since the printer was configured using the standard printer setup these settings should get propogated through to openoffice correctly by the printer setup program. A related problem is that if you create a landscape document (I used impress) then it doesn't matter which type of duplex mode (short or long side) you use, the second page always gets printed upside down.

[Bug 110284] Duplex collation is not configured correctly in openoffice
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org There are a couple of problems when printing a multi-page document on a duplex-capable printer in openoffice. If you have a 4 page document (1,2,3,4) and print it on a duplex printer it should come out on 2 pages (1,2) and (3,4). However if you create such a document in openoffice and then choose to print 2 copies the pages will come out as (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4) ie the collation doesn't account for the printer working in duplex mode. This has been reported (not by me) to openoffice as: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46953 However they say that the reason for the bug is that the printer was not configured to work correctly with openoffice by running spadmin. Since the printer was configured using the standard printer setup these settings should get propogated through to openoffice correctly by the printer setup program. A related problem is that if you create a landscape document (I used impress) then it doesn't matter which type of duplex mode (short or long side) you use, the second page always gets printed upside down. This may well be related to the first problem. ** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Duplex collation is not configured correctly in openoffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110284 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 148466] Re: Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500
I've found that if I do a BIOS update on our server to BIOS version A07 (the latest one for this machine) then I can get the CD drive working under a later kernel (2.6.23.1-21-fc7), however it still produces the same errors under a slightly later kernel (2.6.23.1-42-fc8) so I'm not sure whether this will help with the Ubuntu problem. One thing to note. After you do the BIOS update you need to completely power down the server and restart it.

As a ray of hope on this - I've had the same problem on Fedora 8 (see earlier notes), but Fedora put in a kernel option to work round the problems in the ATA driver. Fedora 9 was released last week with a 2.6.25 kernel, and this boots on my 2500 without any special kernel flags, so it seems that at least the upstream kernel has a fix in place for this issue, and that hopefully it will permeate down to the next release of Ubuntu. -- Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools We create a temporary user during installation. Later we create the real users (some with admin privileges) and then delete the initially created user. We find that deleting the initial temp user causes other admins to be removed from many of the groups to which they were previously assigned (including admin). Steps to reproduce: 1) Install dapper and create a temporary user 'temp' 2) After installation create a new user 'newuser' using users-admin with admin privileges (we also use a non-standard UID if this matters, something >13000) 3) Delete the initial temp user using users-admin and apply. 4) Look at /etc/group and see that newuser has been removed from most of the optional groups, including admin.
