[Bug 53936] Re: Dapper doesn't report iftab MAC address error

2006-08-15 Thread Daniel Allen
I and my colleagues deal with ubuntu images/restores and the current udev/iftab behaviour has caused us a fair bit of grief for the same reason. Currently, a backup or image isn't usable by another machine without manually editing iftab. That isn't obvious to users, I think. One solution is to w

[Bug 61303] gtk apps segfault on gnome 'Human' theme, only from XDMCP

2006-09-19 Thread Daniel Allen
Public bug reported: On a batch of machines I just dist-upgraded from Breezy to Dapper, Firefox (and gimp) will segfault when they are run from gnome via XDMCP (thin-client). It doesn't segfault from KDE via XDMCP, and it doesn't segfault from gnome from non-XDMCP X (monitor plugged directly into

Good point about PCI devices being activated in semi-arbitrary order. That's what makes it necessary to have this database in the first place, I suppose. I would be happy enough if dmesg and/or syslog reported hints when a new MAC address was added to the db, and to report which MAC was assigned t
