similar to: [fdo] config files for keyboard layouts

Hi, I'm curious what work has been done on security desktop apps using things like SELinux and AppArmor or equivalents on other OSs. At the moment it seems to be the norm for apps to both read and change their config files if they have them and that seems to offer the potential for malware to exploit a bug in an app to make it easily propagate to the next invocation of the app. My general

(It was suggested I send a copy of this to ext3-users, so here it is - note that I need this RAID going so I've rebuilt with reiser, but would still appreciate suggestions; the message was original sent to the lkml) Hi, I've just built an 800GB RAID5 array and built an ext3 file system on it; on trying to copy data off the 200GB RAID it is replacing I'm starting to see errors of the

Hi Ian, I've been going through some sparse scans of the kernel and it threw up: CHECK drivers/net/xen-netback/xenbus.c drivers/net/xen-netback/xenbus.c:29:40: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield int have_hotplug_status_watch:1; from your patch f942dc2552b8bfdee607be867b12a8971bb9cd85 It does look like that should be an unsigned (given it's assigned 0 and 1) Dave

Hi, Before starting, I must say that I haven't change my Linux OS (Mandrake 8.1) for 3 years. So, I dont't really know if there were a big evolution until now. I don't know if there is a possibility to edit keyboard on Linux (libxklavier ?...). If not, it should be launch by freedesktop.org. If yes, it should be a word about this. In this editor, there would be a list of all existing

I just sent this email to xdg but I'm not sure that was the right place? How do I enable the sco keyboard resource? I am running Debian 5. I need to enable the scoansi function keys. [09:58:43] ~$ xterm -kt sco KeyboardType resource "sco" not found do I need to install anything? Regards, Bill

Not the OP, but I will tell you why it is important. GPL, as you know, is put in place to protect the opensource aspect of the code, and as such requires the changes be published for modifications that are done on top of the existing

Hello I am developing X application nowI have one question about xorg-xf86-input-keyboard license I checked following file https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-input-keyboard/blob/master/COPYING  This file show MIT licene And I found following file  https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-input-keyboard/blob/master/src/lnx_kbd.c   * Portions based on kbdrate.c from util-linux 2.9t, which

Hi, I had an idea which I think could dramatically improve the cross toolkit display of widgets. At the moment toolkits load their settings and a style from files stored locally where the client is running. The problem with this approach is that every toolkit has its own place and means of storing these settings. When programs are run from more than one toolkit they often appear very

Hi all, I want to manage .desktop, .menu and icon files of a project (Wormux) with autotools. Does it exist some doc about this ? I had a look at Amarok sources and I could install the .desktop with the following in my Makefile.am : xdg_appsdir = $(datadir)/applications xdg_apps_DATA = wormux.desktop Are there some similar variables for icons and .menu files ? Furthermore I saw on some Gnome

Hi, I'd like to be able to use KDEs kprinter (kprinter --stdin) as alternative printer for my wine driven apps (e.g. winword). What I like especially is the fine working PDF printer and the feature to attach the PDF immediately to an email. I tried already the cups-pdf printer. But this driver doesn't create valid PDF for my MS WORD document. KPDF and Acrobat are at least not able to

Hi, I have been looking for the freedesktop.org logo in a good resolution or even vector based, but I was not able to find it. If someone could point me to a ps, svg or other vector based version, that would be great. I saw a vector based version of the logo on Keith's screenshots of window-level image compositing, so they must be somewhere around there. If you have the logo in a higher

Hi all, I need to reboot all the VMs and physical machines hosting freedesktop.org for a kernel update. This will happen tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon UTC. Cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are

I shall close https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63808 then. Out of curiosity, is there a better place to report such things to fdo sysadmins than bugzilla, the sitewranglers list, and IRC? Cheers -Tim

Hi all, I'll be rebooting all the fdo servers about now, since there's a serious vulnerability in there. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2014/msg00130.html for more details. Cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are

Hello everyone, For many years now, we have maintained mirrors of numerous FDo projects on GitHub, under the following organisations: https://github.com/freedesktop https://github.com/mesa3d https://github.com/wayland-project A bit over a month ago, a new security feature in git started preventing our script from updating these repos, which wasn't noticed right away due to people being on

Hi all, I'll be rebooting the *.fdo servers tomorrow morning (Saturday, UTC). Downtime should be minimal. Regards, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are

Hi, Annarchy needs more disk space fairly urgently, so I will take the host down and add some more disk space tomorrow, Saturday. Work will start approximately 17 UTC. I hope it will be fairly brief, less than an hour, but it might take longer if we run into problems Please get in touch on #freedesktop if you have any questions or if this is a problem for you. Regards, -- Tollef Fog Heen

Hi all, There's a new point release of Debian out with kernel updates and other, so I'll be rebooting the entire fdo infrastructure tomorrow morning UTC. Let me know on #freedesktop if you have any questions. Cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
