Hi, I am wanting to get some input on an issue that I have encountered with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy. When installing Linux & booting Linux it freezes almost all the time, I don't know if it is the shell or whatever, but after SILO, it goes wild of freezes, then rebooting all the time. (The display changes to black and fonts are different) However, I don't have this problem in Solaris 10, and Solaris 10 is stable as a rock. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Oracle Linux users,
You can probably guess from the title what the question is:
Does anyone know if Oracle Linux (the Unbreakable variety I think that is) comes in a
SPARC release or, if not, will there be one some time soon ?
Many thanks,

REQUESTSYNC(1) General Commands Manual REQUESTSYNC(1)NAME
requestsync - helper to file sync requests for Ubuntu
SYNOPSIS
requestsync [-d distro] [-nse] [-k keyid] <source package> [target release] [base version]
requestsync --lp [-nse] <source package> <target release> [base version]
requestsync -h
DESCRIPTION
requestsync looks at the versions of <source package> in Debian and Ubuntu and prompts for an explanation of why the Ubuntu changes (if
there are any) should be dropped. The changelog entry is then downloaded from packages.debian.org, and the sync request bug is filed in
launchpad. Alternatively, the sync request can be filed by GPG-signed email (option --email).
requestsync checks if you have the permissions to request the sync from the archive administrators directly by checking if you have upload
permissions for that package through package set permissions or component permissions. If you don't have upload permissions, the script
will subscribe the necessary team with approval rights to the bug report for you.
This check is only performed if requestsync is allowed to use the LP API (not email submission). In the other case requestsync relies on
that you answer the question about upload permissions honestly to determine if a team with approval rights is to be subscribed to the bug.
If you have permission to upload the package directly, then you may prefer to use syncpackage instead to copy the package using the Launch-
pad API. At some future point, requestsync will be changed to do this automatically.
requestsync uses launchpadlib authentication to file its requests.
OPTIONS
Listed below are the command line options for requestsync:
-h Display a help message and exit.
-d Specifies which Debian distribution a package should be synced from. Default is testing in LTS cycles, otherwise unstable.
-n Specifies that the package is a new package, and requestsync should not attempt to look it up in Ubuntu since it will not exist.
-k <keyid>
Specifies your GPG key. This is only used if the sync request is mailed to Launchpad.
--email
Use GPG-signed email to file the bug, rather than launchpadlib.
-s Specifies that you require sponsorship. You need this option if you don't have upload permissions for that package. This disables
the upload permissions check described above.
-C Allow changelog to be manually filled in when missing. requestsync gets Debian changelogs from packages.debian.org, which isn't in
sync with the Debian archive. To request a sync before the changelog is available, pass this option, and provide the changelog
entries yourself.
-e Use this flag after FeatureFreeze for non-bug fix syncs. requestsync will subscribe ubuntu-release team instead of sponsorship team.
-l INSTANCE, --lpinstance=INSTANCE
Use the specified instance of Launchpad (e.g. "staging"), instead of the default of "production".
--no-conf
Do not read any configuration files, or configuration from environment variables.
<source package>
This is the source package that you would like to be synced from Debian.
<target release>
This is the release that you would like the source package to be synced into. This should always be the latest development release
of Ubuntu.
[base version]
In some cases, the base version (where the Ubuntu package started differing from the Debian package) cannot be automatically deter-
mined. Specify this option in this case.
ENVIRONMENT
requestsync uses the following variables which should be set in your shell's configuration by adding export VARIABLE= lines, where VARIABLE
is one of the following:
UBUMAIL, DEBEMAIL
Specifies which email should be used when sending to Launchpad.
All of the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES below are also supported as environment variables. Variables in the environment take precedence to
those in configuration files.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_SERVER
Set which SMTP server to use when sending mail. If unspecified this defaults to launchpad's SMTP servers (the eventual destina-
tion).
REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_PORT
Sets which port of the SMTP server to use. Default is 25.
REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_USER and REQUESTSYNC_SMTP_PASS
Sets the username and password to use when authenticating to the SMTP server.
REQUESTSYNC_USE_LPAPI
Setting this to no is equivalent to running with --email.
REQUESTSYNC_LPINSTANCE, UBUNTUTOOLS_LPINSTANCE
The default value for --lpinstance.
REQUESTSYNC_KEYID, UBUNTUTOOLS_KEYID
The default value for -k.
