[Bug 993298] Re: NetworkManager does not use local hosts configuration any more

2012-05-26 Thread Allan Pratt
I hope the relevant people notice this bug report soon, it's serious. Failure to respect /etc/hosts removes a powerful way to manage networks and also to block ads and some types of web threats. You can disable dnsmasq by commenting it out in the NetworkManager config, as the OP said, but there is

Hi. I'm just a random Ubuntu user who is also a DropBox user. I intsalled the package from the Ubuntu repo, got the "running from an unsupported location" message, and found this bug report. As I read this thread, the Dropbox company position is that it's better not to have the package in the Ubun

The "nobootwait" option is one that mountall strips. Since that option is not at the end of the list, you are falling foul of this bug. If you move that option to the end of your options list, you will work around but bug and you will be able to boot. Does anybody know how to get attention for thi

Leif, what you wrote is either encouraging or not, depending on how I'm reading it. I think you're saying that the upstream 2.6.32 doesn't have this problem, so the fix won't come from that direction. But Lucid's 2.6.32 (somehow) does have this problem. Where does it come from, and is anybody looki

I'm not sure I'm reading this bug system's UI properly, but it looks like this is still open ("New" not "Invalid") as regards the "GNOME keyring" subsystem, and that's where the upstream bug is being tracked. This bug is closed ("Invalid") with respect to the subsystem "gnome- keyring (ubuntu)" but

Upstream, the GNOME bug 616861 has very little data and no triage or assignment, certainly nothing like Forest's excellent analysis that appears here comment 18 and in bug 357346, plus whatever notes he has put in the bugs linked to from there. This seems insane. Would it get more attention to say

pbaco, thanks for the confirmation. I hope somebody on the mountall project sees this bug soon. As a workaround, try moving "nobootwait" to the end of your option list, and removing "optional" entirely. If you only use one option that mountall wants to strip and you put that option at the end, you

2010-05-17 Thread Allan Pratt
I have figured out this bug. It has nothing to do with nfs. The "mountall" program is entering an infinite loop in the "cut_options" function because of a logic error in the string processing. The cut_options function exists to strip mountall-only options (showthrough, optional, bootwait, nobootwa
