Kernel Update

Submitted by wolven on Sun, 2008-02-17 20:33.

In response to the recent kernel local root privilege escalation vulnerability a patched kernel has been uploaded to the repositories. To upgrade the kernel simply issue this command from a terminal (as root):

 slapt-get --update && slapt-get --upgrade kernel kernel-modules

If you insist on using Gslapt to update you'll need to remove the ^kernel-.* line from the excludes list first.

Minor bug fix for Wolvix 1.1.0

Submitted by wolven on Mon, 2007-08-06 02:08.

There's a small bug in Wolvix 1.1.0 (permission problem) which will prevent icons from being added to the Fluxbox menu for non root users.

'Live' users can add this module: 900_iconify-fluxbox-fix.lzm to the 'wolvix/modules/' directory on the CD/ISO/USB/ Same for Frugal installs.

Users with a full install can upgrade to the latest 'wolvixscripts' package with: slapt-get --update && slapt-get --upgrade wolvixscripts .

Database restore

The wolvix.org database has been corrupted somehow and I had to restore it from yesterdays backup. Some posts and user accounts created after the backup was taken are lost. Please repost or re create your account if you have been affected by this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Happy holidays to you all. I'll be going away for about week, but I'll be back before new years. Enjoy your holidays with friends and family. =)

The Wolvix Wiki is back online again. Let's hope the new required registration code will prevent the spam bots from registering and destroying the wiki.

Downtime

Submitted by wolven on Tue, 2007-10-02 19:34.

Sorry about the downtime. My router decided to call quits on me and I've been struggling to get it up and running again. In fear of the router (an old PC running SmoothWall) crapping out on me again I'll be upgrading it in the next few days, but planned downtime will of course be announced. Let's hope the current setup will hold until I've had the time to upgrade it.

Wolvix Newsletter - Issue 1

Submitted by MasterGoodheart on Sun, 2007-08-26 23:41.

I've finally posted the newsletter that (hopefully) you've all been waiting for! You can find it on the new Wolvix News website, or using this direct link.

I really need comments on what you think of it, how it could be improved (the newsletter and the website), and what sort of articles you'd like to see in the future. Remember, this is my first attempt, so it won't be as organised as you'd probably expect. As I get better, though, I should be able to bring you something a lot better.

Happy reading! :)
