Security packages in Ubuntu

August 20th, 2008

Dear LazyWeb,

AFAIK Ubuntu is using http://security.ubuntu.com to provide security updates for its packages. What about security section under http://archive.ubuntu.com ? It will be dropped if favor of http://security.ubuntu.com ?

I’ll apreciate any information about that.

Thanks!

Nuevo mirror de Ubuntu

August 19th, 2008

Tengo el agrado de comunicar que contamos con un nuevo mirror de Ubuntu en Chile, gracias a la Escuela de Ingeniería Informática de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso y su emergente grupo de usuarios *nix GNUCV.

Este mirror contempla:
* Arquitecturas: i386, amd64.
* Paquetes: binarios y sources.
* Secciones: main, restricted, universe y multiverse.
* Releases: Dapper, Feisty, Gutsy, Hardy e Intrepid.
* Extras: $release-{security,updates,backports,proposed}.

Para ocupar el mirror, basta con añadir la siguiente línea a /etc/apt/sources.list (como root)

deb http://mirror.gnucv.cl/ubuntu release seccion

Por ejemplo, si tenemos instalado Hardy Heron, debemos agregar:

deb http://mirror.gnucv.cl/ubuntu hardy main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://mirror.gnucv.cl/ubuntu hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

Luego

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Espero que este recurso sea de gran utilidad para los ubunteros.

Saludos!

Abuse of Ubuntu logo in Chile

August 19th, 2008

Hi,

Days ago members of our LoCo team noticed that a Chilean consulting company is using part of the Ubuntu logo (the circle of friends)

It’s look familiar … or not? What we should do as LoCo Team?

We’ll appreciate any kind of help.

Cheers!

UPDATE: This post had a good effect from Convoca guys. They changed its logo into

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas to solve this conflict.
