This looks like #2851 on the COSMIC issue tracker, affecting Firefox. They’ve also reported it upstream.

The COSMIC issue has been closed as having been fixed by 150.0, but there’s at least one dissenter.

Anyway, I’m using a regular Gnome desktop on Ubuntu 24.04, with Wayland, Librewolf 150.0, and funnily enough, for me this only appeared with 150.0 and not before. So now I am affected.

The workaround of toggling widget.wayland.fractional-scale.enabled mentioned in the COSMIC issue seems to work (i.e. after the menus have died, open about:config, toggle the setting from default trueto false, then immediately back to true).

Using a supported version?

• I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

I’ve set notes to self to disappear after 1 day. I chose one message to be pinned, was prompted to select the time to pin the message for, and selected 7 days. I was shown the message in the title.

I’m now unsure whether the message will be unpinned and removed after 1 day or 7 days. My guess would be 7 days, but either way, I think the message should make this explicit, or at least unambiguous wrt. which timer takes precedence.

Steps to reproduce

1. set notes to self to disappear after 1 day
2. send a note to yourself
3. choose to pin the message
4. select to pin the message for 7 days

Expected result

Any of these, in order of preference:

1. ”This disappearing message will be unpinned and removed from the chat after 7 days.”
2. ”This disappearing message will be unpinned and removed from the chat after 1 day.”
3. ”Disappearing messages will be unpinned and the removed from the chat when the pinning timer expires.”
4. ”Disappearing messages will be unpinned and the removed from the chat when the disappearance timer expires.”

Actual result

”Disappearing messages will be unpinned when their timer expires and the message is removed from the chat.”

No worries, thanks for the fix!

I can’t remember when exactly this began, but for maybe a few weeks now the first clicks of the share button in the web UI just give a ”Sharing is not available for private podcasts” notification at the bottom corner. This is for any and all podcasts, so not just actually private ones. After two or three clicks the sharing dialog then finally does pop up.

My main browser is Librewolf (based on Firefox), but the same issue occurs in Vivaldi too (which is based on Chromium).

There’s nothing in the browser’s console about this (no errors at all).

I made a screencast demonstrating the issue: https://youtu.be/5_LieFpsz0I

Both issues (”Network is unreachable” and WoL not working) were fixed for me after the latest kernel update, which was Linux 6.8.0-106.

Yeah, seems to be fixed: I tested in an Ubuntu 24.04 vm with WezTerm 20240203-110809-5046fc22 and couldn’t reproduce the issue.

(I first tried the nightly, which from the repository was 20260117-154428-05343b38, but that one was missing all window decorations entirely, and so couldn’t be resized at all.)

I’ll close the issue and unsubscribe, as I’m not using WezTerm currently myself. Others can reopen it if still affected.

I noticed that for the specific case of picking an element from the end using just the size of the array itself, the above is a somewhat contrived example; a plain -1 would work just as well. But I can change the example script as below, and the difference between outputs still holds:

#!/bin/bash

array=(
    "a"
    "b"
    "c"
)

i=3

value="${array[i - 1]}"

printf "%s\n" "${value}"

With the same arguments given, output differs between 3.12.0 and 3.13.0, as demonstrated in the example below. I didn’t see this mentioned directly in the release notes, so I was wondering if this is an intentional change or a bug. I don’t mind the change per se, but just wanted to be sure that it’s permanent before I adjust all my existing scripts to conform to the newer way shfmt prefers this.

$ cat asdf
#!/bin/bash

array=(
    "a"
    "b"
    "c"
)

value="${array[${#array[@]} - 1]}"

printf "%s\n" "${value}"

$ /usr/local/bin/archive/shfmt/shfmt_v3.12.0_linux_amd64 -i 4 -ci -l -d asdf # no output

$ /usr/local/bin/archive/shfmt/shfmt_v3.13.0_linux_amd64 -i 4 -ci -l -d asdf

Looks like patchset 2026-01-07 [1] should at least have the WoL issue fixed: ”net: ipv4: fix regression in local-broadcast routes” (more in [2]). Whether this helps with the other, ”Network is unreachable” issues, I wouldn’t know.

So that’s what was causing all these weird network issues all of a sudden here. Looks like 6.8.0-101-generic is likewise affected.

Sending wake-on-LAN packets also broke for me coincidentally with this. That is, my NAS (now also running 6.8.0-101) could still receive WOL packets sent from a server running 6.8.0-79, but none sent from my desktop (running 6.8.0-101). After downgrading the desktop back to 6.8.0-94, WOL packets sent from it were again immediately picked up by the NAS.
