[04:36] <yurtesen> How does one contact a MOTU who is willing to sponsor a security related debdiff? I have been trying now over a week, and still feeling in the dark.
[04:43] <amurray> hey yurtesen - can you please subscribe ~ubuntu-security-sponsors  to the relevant LP bug?
[04:44] <amurray> and out of interest - can you point me at the bug in question?
[04:44] <sbeattie> amurray: it's LP: #1915911 and sponsors is already subscribed
[04:46] <amurray> ah cool - so pfsmorigo any chance you could take a peek at this as you are on community this week? otherwise maybe leosilva could take a look as he is on the community role next week so could get a head start on reviewing it to sponsor it
[05:12] <yurtesen> Hello, and thank you for checking this out. Can the person who is checking this out put a message to bug report, if possible, with some time estimate? I am sorry, but I have been under some pressure. I keep hearing we should stop using Ubuntu because universe packages are not maintained at all and people were skeptical that Ubuntu would even allow outside help. I do not intend to
[05:12] <yurtesen> sound negative, it is what it is. I understand people are busy. But I would also like to make some other bugfixes (not security related) to make to `tomcat` package on 20.04 and 21.10 and 22.04. To summarize, I need something, a pointer which shows progress and all the time spent is not lost. (and this is not for me personally, it is because our company is using this package and they
[05:12] <yurtesen> can't let work hours to go waste if nothing is happening)
[13:07] <sdeziel> yurtesen: the debdiff looks good to me, thanks for working on it! That said, I'm not a security team member so I can only encourage you to keep doing :)

[14:26] <tomreyn> zlib-1.2.11 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-25032
[15:13] <mdeslaur> tomreyn: yep, working on it
[15:13] <mdeslaur> tomreyn: thanks
[15:19] <tomreyn> i assumed it would go into the next round, just wanted to push it a little bit :)
[22:13] <JanC> how does a library like zlib still have bugs like that...
[22:24] <jjohansen1> you mean how does anything ever work ;)
[22:35] <sarnold> hah yeah :)
[22:42] <JanC> no, seriously, this sounds like a bug that could be found with a formal analysis
[22:44] <JanC> I understand you can't do that on everything, but this is probably the most-used library in IT history
[22:45] <sarnold> I only vaguely skimmed it, but I think it was stuffed behind a rarely-used #ifdef or similar
[22:48] <JanC> if it's rarely used, then how is it a problem?  :)
[22:49] <sarnold> that's why I only vaguely skimmed it :)
[22:52] <mdeslaur> yeah, it's pretty incredible
[22:53] <mdeslaur> I particularly like the "It has lain in wait 13 years before being found!" comment in the commit, and now we're three years later without a new release that includes it
[22:54] <mdeslaur> I guess their waiting another 10 years so they can add the matching "13 years before being released!" comment
[22:54] <mdeslaur> *they're
[22:55] <mdeslaur> (then we can go to "13 years before mitre updated the CVE!")
[23:01] <sarnold> I can't remember now if it was zlib or gzip, but I remember tripping over a fuzzer bug when doing a security update half-dozen years ago
[23:02] <sarnold> it was one of those packages where finding a flaw seems *so* unusual and unlikely that you suspect the build environment first
[23:05] <tomreyn> Apr 20, 2018 to Mar 26, 2022 is more like 4 years, if this matters.

[01:11] <ubot2> micahg called the ops in #ubuntu-bugs ()
[01:18] <micahg> hi, I need someone kicked from #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-desktop (eternal)
[01:18] <bazhang> micahg, I've contacted freenode staff
[01:19] <micahg> bazhang: thanks
[01:19] <bazhang> he's hit 10 channels at least
[01:19] <micahg> I know of 3 so far
[01:22] <ubot2> aveilleux called the ops in #ubuntu-beginners ()
[01:34] <popey> `/105
[01:34] <popey> bah!
[01:44] <m4v> I just bankicked eternal from #ubuntu-es  and #ubuntu-es-offtopic
[01:44] <bazhang> thats like 12 channels now
[01:45] <m4v> nice, he's trying to set a record or something?
[01:45] <bazhang> m4v, verloggeur is yours right? it was having some connection issues earlier
[01:46] <m4v> verloggeur what?
[01:46] <bazhang> ah whoops guess not
[01:46] <bazhang> a bot approved for testing in #ubuntu
[01:46] <m4v> if you're talking about bots, I only admin kubot and scratDev
[01:46] <m4v> bazhang: that's scratDev, is making noise?
[01:46] <bazhang> m4v, okay, sorry my mistake
[01:47] <m4v> kk
[01:54] <m4v> eternal now joined #ubuntu-ar and is trolling
[01:54] <bazhang> now eternal_
[01:54] <m4v> right eternal_
[05:34] <Madpilot> OK, so #ubuntu-irc-helpers... why on earth does it exist? This channel is insanely underused as is, and I'm currently the ONLY person in -helpers...
[05:35] <gpc> Madpilot: kick yourself out, it has been closed for renovations
[05:36] <rww> tl;dr: it doesn't exist
[05:36] <Madpilot> OK. I'd hate to get drywall dust on my IRC client
[05:36] <gpc> We are waiting for the paint to be delivered
[05:36] <rww> Can the paint never be delivered? That would be nice.
[05:36] <gpc> we haven't mailed out the check for the paint yet
[05:37] <gpc> mailed out?
[05:37] <Madpilot> spend the cheque on beer instead
[05:37] <gpc> beer and bacon
[05:38] <Madpilot> we can even spring for soy pseudo-bacon for the veggies
[05:38] <gpc> IRCC can we get a GRF (Group Refreshment Fund) for -irc-helpers?
[05:38] <gpc> 20 cases should do right?
[05:57] <elky> cases of whiskey, i presume.
[05:59] <Madpilot> that'll do, but what will the rest of you drink?
[06:03] <elky> All I know is that your brother doesn't get to touch mah whiskey
[06:04] <Madpilot> aside from helping updating the Official Book, he's hardly involved in Ubuntu these days. Your whiskey is probably safe.
[06:05] <elky> Whee!
[06:05] <elky> Shame though.
[07:44] <jpds> Have some tea.
[07:45] <Madpilot> only if I can spike it with rum.
[07:45] <Madpilot> Chai w/ dark rum... omnomnom.
[07:45] <jpds> Madpilot: Why is the rum always gone?
[08:06] <elky> Iced coffee and vodka is deceitfully delicious too.
[08:07] <Tm_T> water from the tap is good too, atleast around here
[08:09] <Tm_T> elky: see -w


[01:06] <serverboy> hello
 I dont know how, but my user account was removed from the sudoer file. Is it possible to readd myself?
[07:37] <bazhang> how would that ever happen accidentally
[07:41] <Jordan_U> bazhang: Most likely by someone mistakenly thinking that their specific user, rather than a group like sudoers, was specified there in the first place.
[07:42] <bazhang> oy vey
[07:42] <bazhang> thats like the users who want to slim down the *bloat* by removing major directories in /
[07:43] <bazhang> do I need /etc  and /var ????
[07:48] <jpds> bazhang: I have no space left, who needs this libc6.so anyway?
[07:48] <bazhang> jpds, hahaha
[08:34] <DJones> bazhang: He's using alien on a deluge rpm to use on Ubuntu for some reason
[08:34] <bazhang> lordie
[08:35] <DJones> Looks like a homework question going on that last comment
[08:39] <bazhang> why cant he just run fedora in a vm
[08:39] <bazhang> bt clients are not exactly stand alone apps in terms of libraries etc
[08:39] <DJones> That'd be too easy
[08:39] <bazhang> even a printer driver would be more sensible
[08:40] <bazhang> hahahah yeah too easy
[08:40] <bazhang> we need MORE gray hair
[08:41] <DJones> You speak for yourself, I have enough grey hair of my own
[08:42] <DJones> All my hair above my ears is grey
[08:45] <bazhang> heh
[09:08] <Myrtti> if only we knew what bans the floodbots see
[09:09] <funkyHat> LjL: I see a 'milestone 2' rom image on there, as well as nightlies

[10:31] <LjL> funkyHat: oh! Milestone... 2!
[10:31] <LjL> not Milestone 2, the Motorola phone :P
[10:31]  * LjL sneakily puts a milestone right on funkyHat's walking trajectory
[10:53]  * funkyHat falls over
[10:53]  * funkyHat cries
[10:53] <LjL> sorry :/
[10:53] <funkyHat> How did LjL manage to plot my walking trajectory so far into the future?
[10:54] <LjL> funkyHat: i'll tell you just one thing, quantum theory is bollocks
[10:54] <LjL> god doesn't play dice!

[17:08] <Pici> ikonia: you've never heard of superscript or subscript?
[17:08] <ikonia> no
[17:08] <Pici> Its a common formatting option in word processors.
[17:10] <tsimpson> and in HTML
 its the number one distro on distrowatch now
[17:50] <bazhang> recommending MINT augh
[17:52] <Pici> distrowatch
[17:52] <bazhang> little more than a ad portal
[17:53] <IdleOne> Didn't samsung just announce a distro watch?
[17:53] <bazhang> s/a/an/
[17:53] <bazhang> hehe
[18:01] <IdleOne> can someone check BT I believe I have already banned Monday for similar behaviour.
[18:01]  * IdleOne needs to step away for a few
[18:09] <IdleOne> Doesn't look like I have banned him in the past
[18:35] <popey> yo!
[18:35] <popey> whats the process for getting a log bot in a channel these days?

[02:55] <fpsdavid> still cant see my desktop :(
[02:55] <fpsdavid> and i have no audio too
[02:57] <fpsdavid> the mythtv program autostarts itself, but if you quit it, all there is is a black background w/ a cursor
[02:58] <fpsdavid> no taskbar, no icons, no background, no right click menu
[03:03] <fpsdavid> yo technophil
[03:03] <fpsdavid> or Technophil?
[03:23] <fpsdavid> ionno if theres anything of use in here, but heres the logs from inside mythtv http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f22423056
[03:53] <ccb0x45> can anyone please tell me how to make it so my damn mythbuntu box wont turn off the display after 60 minutes
[03:53] <Zinn> ccb0x45: Please watch your language.
[03:53] <ccb0x45> or however long
[03:53] <ccb0x45> last time they said uninstall xscreensaver
[03:53] <ccb0x45> that didnt work
[04:10] <gbutters> ccb0x45: check your TV to see if it has a seeting that is turning it off.

[04:14] <gbutters> ccb0x45: also pastebin the output of "xset q"
[09:13] <Technophil> Hi Can anyone tell me, if the mythtv backend can crash and yet still maintain some CPU allocation in top?  Put another way is there a way to see whats happening on the backend when mythweb has fallen over from the command line?
[09:15] <Technophil> My expectation was that if it crashed it would disappear from top however I suppose it can morph into some frozen state where it takes some yet minimal cpu and is no longer working normally?
[09:29] <Technophil> This may be associated with frontends statting and once live tv is started there seems to be no key or remote control, the only way out has been to kill the frontend process.  I am thinking doing this wrecks the backend also, but the backend process does not actually crash.
[09:30] <Technophil> I suppose and alternative maybe restarting the FE PC
[09:30] <Technophil> Can anyone comment about this?
[09:44] <Technophil> Actually this might be the problem / answer http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6192
[10:26] <Technophil> Is there a command I can use to shut down a frontend playing tv that is unresponsive to keyboard or remote?  Can't find anything like this....
[10:30] <gbee> killall -9 mythfrontend
[10:42] <Technophil> THanks gbee
[10:58] <bazzawilleee> can anybody tell me the difference between mythbuntu 8.10 and 9.04 I cannot find a change log and cannot tell the difference

[11:51] <zaprat> I presume the frontend is attempting to connect before the backend is ready
[11:51] <zaprat> I added a sleep 5 but this did not fix it; what else?
[11:58] <Technophil> zinn:  Interesting helpful zinn.cgi.  May I suggest adding imagebin.ca also?
