Default policy issue in Fedora 12 allows unprivileged users to install package signed
Fedora 12 comes with a default policy that allows local users to install package system without root access, provided it is properly signed (ie it is reliable). There are many who are against it because it is something that traditionally avoided in GNU / Linux. There are many who defend the position or at least agree . Anyway, the discussion is a tempest in a glass of water for a policy that can be easily modified.
The policy just was detected by users with the final release of Fedora 12, which caused a massive thread about it . The policy can be changed through PolicyKit.
Fedora Some developers argue that this policy was defined for the distribution due to its focus as a desk , which is considered more appropriate for the user to install programs and applications you need without having to involve the authentication as root. Developers and Rahul Sundaram and Bastien Nocera, the latter is known as the creator memor Totem is one of the many developers who advocate this approach in order to improve the user experience.
To eliminate this policy, someone took the trouble to document it because it was omitted from the release notes for Fedora 12. To delete the policy, requiring only run as root:
pklalockdown - org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install lockdown To re-deploy:
pklalockdown - remove-lockdown-install org.freedesktop.packagekit.package You can also edit the file / var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-my-pkgkit-policy.pkla and put the following content:
[NoUsersInstallAnything] Identity = unix-user: * Action = org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install auth_admin ResultInactive ResultAny = = = auth_admin auth_admin ResultActive The former is the method suggested, because pklalockdown disappear in future releases.

GIMP will not come by default in Ubuntu 4.10 Lucid Lynx
no será incluído de serie en la siguiente versión 10.04 Lucid Lynx . From the Ubuntu Developer Summit, the convention is taking place until November 20 in Dallas (USA), we get quite shocking news for Ubuntu users: the software GIMP image processing is not included as standard in Lucid Lynx next version 10.04.
The debate was opened under the choice of applications that should come configured standard with Lucid Lynx. GIMP has been assessed that the program is too complex to be installed by default in the distribution, as it is intended to be used for graphics professionals and ordinary users. In addition, his departure is also justified by the large size of the software and because common tasks with images that most users need can be seamlessly with other applications like F-Spot and much simpler interface.
Official ATi 5970, the new dual GPU
I think with this onomatopoeia can describe the new ATI 5970, presented this morning, confirming that it is the most powerful on the market today.
Most striking is the use of two GPUs, as they did in a past other models of previous generations, providing a processing rate of 4.64 TFLOPS, a really high figure considering that the 5870 "only" managed to reach the 2.7 TFLOPS. Of course we have a very high end card, which occupies Cavity (like all current 5000 Series) and a power through the use of 40 nanometers, is quite moderate: between 51 and 294 watts, but with minimum requirement of having a power of 650 watts with two 6-pin connectors and two 8.
