[Bug 67128] Re: Incorrect permissions (home directories)
I suggest this bug be reopened and that developers think this through instead of using a black/white approach. Just look at Mac OS X for a more sensible default (home directories are private by default, but have a public folder for sharing files and even a dropbox). It is little things like this that make Ubuntu less usable for normal home users. My experience also tells me that I will get major insults thrown at me if I do not fix this bug myself after installation (people want their files to be private by default). -- Incorrect permissions (home directories) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67128 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 67128] Re: Incorrect permissions (home directories)
This has come up a number of times before and has been repeatedly rejected for good reasons which I won't go into here because I do not want to have the argument in this bug report; I have posted on Ubuntu mailing lists on the subject before, if you want to dig up those posts. If you disagree with the default (which you're entitled to do), then boot the installer with adduser/homedir-permission=false on the kernel command line, or use expert mode where that question should be asked. ** Changed in: adduser (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: debian-installer => adduser Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Incorrect permissions (home directories) https://launchpad.net/bugs/67128 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 67128] Re: Incorrect permissions (home directories)
thanks. I tried to assign it to the correct package to the best of my knowledge. [opinion ahead:] I agree that one's home folder should be rwX for the user only. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => debian-installer Status: Needs Info => Unconfirmed -- Incorrect permissions (home directories) https://launchpad.net/bugs/67128 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
