2015-04-29 Thread Jay Foad
Public bug reported: On upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 I found that my IPv6 networking no longer worked. It turned out that this was because my hop limit was set to zero: # sysctl -a | fgrep eth0.hop_limit net.ipv6.conf.eth0.hop_limit = 0 which in turn seems to have been cause by a known

2014-10-07 Thread Julian Foad
Hi Gunnar. There are two issues in play. The real issue here is that Ubuntu gives users a session that looks and feels pretty much like a regular session, but then it deletes the user's data without adequate warning. That's a serious design flaw. That bug deserves its own bug report, with serious

2014-10-03 Thread Julian Foad
This needs, at least, a warning at log-out time as well. The new warning at log-in time is better than no warning at all but is still TOTALLY INSUFFICIENT. Ubuntu deletes the user's data at log-out time. The user that saved work and logged out may not be the user that launched the guest session:

2014-10-03 Thread Julian Foad
Ubuntu deletes the user's data at log-out time. Warning when this is about to happen is the very LEAST we should do. Warning at log-in time alone is totally insufficient. The user who logs out may not be the one who launched it, and may not be the guest who saved some work in that session, and/or
