[opensuse-gnome] "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" DoS attack
by Gerald Pfeifer 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

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] lost settings after latest TW snapshot
by Olaf Hering 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

This friday I upgraded from TW 20160909 to 20161013. After the upgrade the desktop had no icons anymore (various files, Home, Trash and external storage). Are such settings supposed to be preserved? Also on this system I noticed there is now Wayland active. Is it supposed to be that way? Hopefully such switch does not cause the same damage as the notifier system caused to apps like Skype, Pidgin, KeepPassX and others. In nautilus the names are sorted differently. On the local backup disk I have directories like 'Lastrun.[0-9].*, hourly.*, daily.*, etc..'. "Lastrun.[0-9].*" was listed first, now its listed somewhere in the middle. Do I need to rename my tracking data to start with either 'Z' or 'A' to have them listed first? Olaf
