As I suspect you're using my version of osd-notify, you should try "make uninstall". As I didn't change the any makefiles this will work if it worked for the original package. But be aware that it might be a design decision not to be able to uninstall this peace of software. In that case you could

Why THE HELL is bug "Medium"? Every idiot is able to get root privileges within a minute on every ubuntu system world wide and you think this just a "medium" problem? And why is this hole still gaping wide open, even more then 48 hours after debian released a fix for the bug? -- Local root explo

Your statement is false; I've just successfully used the famous exploit ( http://grsecurity.net/~spender/wunderbar_emporium.tgz ) to gain root privileges on a fresh bootet Ubuntu 9.04 x86 Live CD. -- Local root exploit via CVE-2009-2692 (incorrect proto_ops initializations) https://bugs.launchpad
