[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken

2008-08-13 Thread Millard73
Any chance that the version of cfengine2 will be updated for Hardy? We
are being bitten by this bug as well.

It's definitely used all over the place, financial institutions,  
national labs (e.g. ORNL), lots of universities (e.g. us). I do  
understand though, that this might have to go into backports if it's  
not a security issue. I'll check when I get a chance if this has been  
requested yet.

[Bug 148534] Re: User can shutdown machine even if others are logged in

2008-07-14 Thread Millard73
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? Who do I have to beg to
upgrade this from "wishlist?" Having entire labs where students
accidentally shut down the systems is extemely annoying. Thanks!

As far as I can tell, policy kit is supposed to take care of this.  
There are options to require an admin password when other users are  
logged in or for any shutdown. Unfortunately, none of those are  
currently being honored. I'm guessing this needs to be fixed upstream,  
but it could be an Ubuntu-specific problem. We have lots of remote  
logins to our lab systems and having the console user (even  
accidentally) shut down or reboot the system causes a lot of havoc.

[Bug 190737] Re: Hi load average using in 8.04a4 NIS/Autofs setup copied from 7.10

2008-06-13 Thread Millard73
I'm also seeing the log entries. We're about to deploy Ubuntu in an
environment with a good number of users (about 3300) and a couple of
hundred desktops.All their home areas and a large number of other file
systems are automounted. I haven't seen the slowdown and high load
averages yet, but I've also not "loosed" Ubuntu Hardy on the masses yet.
Does anyone know the status of this bug? I'd really appreciate it.

[Bug 148534] Re: User can shutdown machine even if others are logged in

2008-04-18 Thread Millard73
Theoretically this should disable rebooting from within the desktop
environment without authentication:

polkit-action --set-defaults-active org.freedesktop.hal.power-
management.reboot auth_admin

However, it doesn't work. I also don't think this should be a "wishlist"
item. It is a vital aspect of any multi-user system. Allowing
unprivileged users to reboot or shut down a system breaks all Unix/Linux
paradigms. I strongly urge for this bug to be elevated in status.

Imagine a lab full of systems that are used by the console users as well
as by other users logging in from home or other systems via ssh. The
console user can now completely destroy the work of any remotely logged
in users. Please elevate the importance of this bug.

2008-04-23 Thread Millard73
This all said - does anyone have a fix or workaround? I really need to
keep desktop users from simply shutting down or rebooting machines. I
know they can just push the power button, but I'd like to at least avoid
accidental reboots/shutdowns!

Thanks!

[Bug 653265] [NEW] ivview (inventor-tools) hangs on right click

2010-10-01 Thread Millard73
Public bug reported:

The ivview binary appears to hang when right clicking anywhere in the
window. The mouse gets captured by the window and you can no longer use
any menus, etc. An strace simply hangs at that point. I have tried this
on two 64-bit Lucid systems, one with the NVIDIA drivers, one with ATI
fglrx drivers with the same result. Can anyone else reproduce this
behavior? Oct  1 16:49:47

There are no suspicious log messages and ivview does not core dump. We
had no problems with ivview when running on Jaunty. Any insight/help
would be appreciated. Let me know if there is any additional information
I can provide.

** Affects: inventor (Ubuntu)
