[Bug 1661460] Re: appstream breaks installation as it is incompatible with gnome-software

2017-02-03 Thread Landon Thomas
I've just looked at the patch to enable NotAutomatic support in apt- ftparchive: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272557#55 If this isn't fixed soon, I'll have to either redesign our customized repo software environment or upgrade our repo server from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 to have

2015-01-27 Thread Landon Thomas
Does anyone have a creative solution for this? I just got over 400 emails from workstations this morning. I wonder if the bug should be fixed in the flashplugin-installer package rather than update-notifier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is s

2014-08-15 Thread Landon Thomas
I experienced this problem when updating a client from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04. Our file server is running SunOS 5.11 but the symptom is the same. For us, It's not a source code problem but the way modules/parse_sun.c is compiled. Here's the gcc line for parse_sun from a default debuild of the Ubunt

2014-05-09 Thread Landon Thomas
FYI for anyone else who comes across this bug report, I was able to get around the issue in regular Ubuntu 14.04 by overwriting /usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/status/avatar-default.png with my desired .png (the greeter even resized it properly). You have to run 'gtk- update-icon-cache /usr/share/i

Followup to comment #17: when I run apt-ftparchive on a mirror server running Ubuntu 14.04, I do not have the same problem. So some change between Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 fixed the problem I was having. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscr

[Bug 537723] Re: missing unixgroup script

2014-04-01 Thread Landon Thomas
In the unixgroup script itself, it says: "This is a group authenticator for use with mod_auth_external using the 'environment' argument passing method. If you are using mod_authnz_external, then a much better choice is to use mod_authz_unixgroup for group checking." After installing libapache2-mo

2013-08-23 Thread Landon Thomas
This can be closed. I fixed the problem by adding a precise-updates tree via apt-ftparchive. debian-installer/anna was finding old udeb's in precise rather than the new kernel modules in precise-updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is sub

Public bug reported: I'm using the 'linux' kernel and initrd.gz files extracted from ubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-amd64.iso for our preseeded PXE installer that points our a local, up-to-date repository. 12.04 works fine but when trying to update our install system to 12.04.2 to support new hardware,

2012-10-18 Thread Landon Thomas
Public bug reported: I run several Ubuntu 12.04 labs with about 6400 users shared out via NIS. Each user gets their own /home/username ZFS pool shared out over NFS. The problem is every time a user logs in, indicator-session-service automounts every user in the DBUS user cache. This can create
