  • Introducing Testdrive!
    I'm pleased to introduce a new package I have created for Ubuntu called testdrive!Testdrive makes it simple to run any Ubuntu release in a virtual machine, safely, and without affecting your current Ubuntu installation.This is a great way to "try out" the Ubuntu release beyond your current version, before upgrading. For example, if you're […]

  • karmic and log rotation
    In Ubuntu’s Karmic and and Debian’s Lenny, sysklogd was replaced with rsyslog. This is fine, since rsyslog will have converted your /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. However, if you modified the (maddeningly strange sysklogd-specific) log file rotation in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd or /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd, you’ll want t […]
  • TPM as RNG
    I was reminded about some TPM coding I’d done to get random bytes from the pRNG on my TPM-enabled system from Matt Domsch’s recent post. I’m not fully convinced that the pRNG of the TPM is an appropriate source of entropy, but it does pass my simple FIPS-140-2 test. I had to find the Intel TPM docs to figure out how to enable TPM on my syst […]
  • uninstall sun-java6
    With the vrms meme raging on Planet Ubuntu, I noticed some people still have sun-java6 installed. I’ve been using openjdk-6 since Hardy, and everything I use works fine with it (e.g. Vuze, Catan, Eclipse, FreeMind, and even Facebook’s photo uploader thing). Given the Ubuntu Tech Board’s “remove sun-java6 from the archive” Agenda […]

    On Sunday, September 20th and Monday, September 21st I attended LDAPCon 2009 in Portland, OR.

  • UDS Lucid
    This week, Dallas hosts the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the Lucid Lynx release. This is the key moment where we define what will be done for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and discuss how it will be done. There will be plenty of interesting sessions in all the tracks, and sometimes I wish I could attend two sessions at the same time. In the server track, Monday will have […]
