Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gconf2
Ubuntu 9.10 gconf2 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 update-gconf-defaults relies on users umask when creating new files. I think that the tool should know that the files must be readable by all users to set their policy. I encountered this problem using cfengine that executes update-gconf-defaults with umask 700. ----- umask 077 cat > /usr/share/gconf/mandatory/90_gnome-screensaver <<EOF /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen true /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings false /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay 20 /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true /apps/gnome-screensaver/logout_enabled true /desktop/gnome/session/idle_delay 18 EOF chmod 644 /usr/share/gconf/mandatory/90_gnome-screensaver update-gconf-defaults --manatory ls -s /var/lib/gconf/debian.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml -rw------- 1 root root 741 2010-04-28 16:37 /var/lib/gconf/debian.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml ----- ** Affects: gconf2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- update-gconf-defaults permissions on create https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574354 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
