Kubuntu 8.04.1 LTS Liberado

El grave fallo de seguridad de las libreríoas OpenSSL había sido después de Hardy, no?
Quizá la actualización sea caso exclusivamente por este motivo. Para que las nuevas instalaciones no estén comprometidas y tener que regenerar las claves instalar openssh-blacklist y demás.
A la par de que el kernel se ha actualizado de versión mas de 3 veces en dos meses...

La actualización no es por ese motivo que comentas, ya estaba en los planes desde que salio hardy como bien lo comento Mark Shuttleworth la noticia la puedes leer aquí:

Para los interesados en el asunto les dejo copia del correo en ingles claro:

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, the
first maintenance update to Ubuntu's 8.04 LTS release.

In all, over 200 updates have been integrated, and updated installation
media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded
after installation. These include security updates and corrections for
other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and
compatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

About Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS
-----------------------

This is the first maintenance release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, which continues
to be supported with maintenance updates and security fixes until April
2011 on desktops and April 2013 on servers.

Since its release, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has seen widespread use in a variety of
desktop and server deployments, and received a great deal of feedback from
users. The Ubuntu team has focused their efforts on resolving issues
reported by people deploying Ubuntu out in the real world, including:

* Firefox has been upgraded to the final 3.0 release from Mozilla,
correcting a number of issues discovered during their beta test.
(#237690)

* The Samba client allows LANMAN authentication again, correcting
problems connecting to some NAS and older Windows servers (#209520).

* Various problems with the FUSE interface to GNOME's new virtual file
system have been fixed, correcting certain problems accessing network
file shares (#211205, #212789).

* The behaviour of the timezone map in the live CD installer has been
improved, making it simpler to understand and use (#203423).

* The "Hardware Drivers" application no longer reports the proprietary
nVidia driver as being enabled when it isn't installed (#216650).

* The Transmission menu item is now called "Transmission BitTorrent
Client" to clearly explain its purpose (#184238).

While we have fixed a number of audio-related issues, including a
scheduler problem that caused audio stuttering under load (#188226), other
audio playback problems may still exist, because so far we have been
unable to verify a targeted fix that does not cause regressions for other
users. We will continue to investigate this, and would welcome people with
problems to provide feedback on Luke Yelavich's test packages. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191027 for details.

Updated images have also been released for members of the Ubuntu family
which do not carry the LTS (Long-Term Support) label, namely Kubuntu, the
Kubuntu KDE4 remix, Gobuntu, Xubuntu, and UbuntuStudio, with images for
Mythbuntu to follow soon. These additional images are provided to the
community in response to USN-612-1, a major security vulnerability
identified earlier in the Ubuntu OpenSSL packages, to ensure that secure
installation images are available to all users in the Ubuntu family. For
more information about this security vulnerability, please see:

http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1

See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for a full list of Ubuntu security updates.
As of 2008-07-02, all updates affecting packages on the CD have been
applied.

Gracias por la info.

besembel:
si he venido actualizando desde los repositorios no necesito bajar esta actualización no?

No hace falta, incluso instale ayer un xubuntu 8.04.1 y ya habia actualizaciones pendientes.

Y las que quedan...Durante estos meses van a estar migrando todos los programas KDE3 que aún no tienen soporte en KDE4 =P. A ver si llega por fin la actualización de K3B...

Nos leemos,

Desde luego K3b necesita una revisión y actualización profunda, lo que le supondría un lavado de cara;mejor front gráfico y funcionamiento de la multisesiòn, asì como de la grabación de cd de audio de forma correcta.
De todas las aplicaciones, sólo k3b no ha sido debidamente actualizada y no presenta cambios significativos, y en mi opinión, siendo además una de las más utilizadas e imprescindibles lo necesita con urgencia.
Me soprende el hecho de que no sea asì ya que Andreas Muller es su creador y sabemos que el mismo Andreas es uno de los principales lideres del proyecto kubuntu, por ello me extraña que no haya incidido en ello.

En K3B funciona perfectamente el sistema Multisesión.
Saludos.
