I've attached a debdiff. The only difference between it and the last patch is the changelog diff. Also, there's a git repository at:
http://github.com/divegeek/timeoutd/tree As for the possibility that the change could cause additional problems, it's possible. I don't deeply understand the issues involved here. What I do know is that without the patch, timeoutd is basically completely unusable for X logins. For that use, it's been working perfectly for me for most of a year. I use it to limit my kids' computer time, and I'd hear about it if it limited them excessively (I hear about it anyway!). I don't selectively limit the kids based on tty, but I just did a test where I set my time limit for pts/0 very low (2 minutes) and left my limit for other ttys unlimited. Then I both ssh'd in and logged into X. It properly warned and then terminated the ssh session, but the X session was unaffected. Then I did it the other way around (limiting tty7) and again it behaved exactly as it should, logging me out of X while leaving the ssh session. So it appears to work -- but that is the only time I've attempted selective timeouts based on tty, so I can't claim to have tested it exhaustively. ** Attachment added: "Debdiff patch for the fix." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27348363/fix.patch -- timeoutd crashes after session 'break' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/165254 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
