Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2008:135

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : draksnapshot

Date : October 8, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

This update fixes several issues in draksnapshot:

 

The draksnapshot applet received the following fixes:

 

- on desktop startup, it will wait for 30s before checking for

available disc so that notification is positioned at the right place,

on the applet icon

- it prevents crashing if DBus is not reachable, and reports DBus

errors

- it prevents crashing if DBus is active, but HAL is not (#44434)

- if all discs are unmounted, the applet will hide (#41176)

- it prevents running more than once

- it uses HAL in order to detect discs available for backup, thus

fixing detecting some internal SATA discs as discs available for backup

(#41107)

 

It also uses new icons from Mandriva Linux 2009.0.

 

The draksnapshot configuration tool also received the following fixes:

 

- it stops saving config when clicking Close (#39790); one has to

click on Apply in order to save the config

- on first run, it offers backup in mounted disc path, instead of

defaulting to some place in the root filesystem which could previously

be filled up (#39802)

- it no longer offers to configure some obscure advanced options

- it now allows for disabling backups

- it generates anacron-friendly cron files
