[opensuse-gnome] "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" DoS attack

by Gerald Pfeifer

Hi guys, I am wondering whether any of you also get hit by the "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" denial-of-service attack with GNOME on Tumbleweed (and what to possibly do about it)? In a nutshell, now and then, out of a sudden, without any trigger that I could see "Additional Multimedi Codecs Required" "An application is requesting additional multimedia codecs" shows up in the notification area. At a rate of two or perhaps three per second. Sometimes it goes away after a bit (in particular various attempts and arbitrary mouse clicking?), sometimes <Alt><F2> "r" <Return> helps. Debugging this I guess it might be related to the following repeating N times (in journalctl)?

(If not, might that be considered a useful addition?) Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Flickering in 3.20.2

by Jon Cosby

Hi, I have a Radeon R9 270 graphics card with openSUSE 42.2 and GNOME 3.20.2. I'm using the default open source driver. The AMD proprietary driver doesn't support 42.2. It's better than it was in 13.2, but I'm getting is a frequent horizontal flicker. Usually a few minutes apart. Is there a tweak for GNOME that might settle this?

[opensuse-gnome] syslog noise from screen locker

by Olaf Hering

Whenever the screen gets unlocked something like this is logged: Dec 02 06:35:47 probook dbus[1222]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.30" (uid=1000 pid=1890 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ") interface="org.freedesktop.login1.Session" member="SetLockedHint" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.2" (uid=0 pid=1252 comm="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") Dec 02 06:35:47 probook gnome-shell[1890]: JS LOG: Ignored exception from dbus method: Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.30" (uid=1000 pid=1890 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell ") interface="org.freedesktop.login1.Session" member="SetLockedHint" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.2" (uid=0 pid=1252 comm="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ") Is there a fix for this useless noise in syslog? I think it started with with a TW snapshot a few days/weeks ago. Olaf
