Horizontal scroll over dock causes it to crash and disappear, and a temporary GUI freeze

# Steps to reproduce
0. have a mouse with horizontal scrolling functionality (mine is a Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 with a tilting action for horizontal scroll)
1. move mouse pointer over the dock
2. use the mouse scroller to scroll horizontally

# What I expect to happen
Nothing

# What happens
Mouse pointer and everything on screen freezes. After a few seconds it unfreezes, but all the icons from the dock are missing. I have to log out and back in to restore the dock.

# Other info
Slightly similar to LP #1875106, but I’m not using imwheel.

I am using Wayland.

Syslog seems to always point to this one function: ”The offending callback was get_preferred_height(), a vfunc”. I’ll attach the relevant part from one crash.

The terse explanation still seems pretty meaningless

I can add that to options.rst, but the terse explanation still seems pretty meaningless; at least for me there’s no visible difference when I run nextcloud with --background compared to running without.

This could be due to #2333 though, if running without --background is supposed to open the main dialog (which has never worked on Focal). If so, I’d mention this too, something like: ”Launch the application in the background (without opening the main dialog).”

Not really, as I don’t know what the parameter does… due to it being undocumented :)

@FlexW Not really, as I don’t know what the parameter does… due to it being undocumented :) Editing options.rst shouldn’t be an issue, I’d just need to know what it should say about --background.

No documentation for –background

Preface

Ticking the ”Launch on System Startup” box in the desktop client’s General settings tab (correctly) adds a .desktop file under ~/.config/autostart/, with the following Exec line:

    Exec="/usr/bin/nextcloud" --background

Expected behaviour

The effect of --background should be mentioned in options.rst (and the resulting online documentation).

Actual behaviour

The --background parameter is undocumented.

Is there any way to combine the two-step method into one pipe?

Is there any way to combine the two-step method into one pipe? To output the raw bitstream to stdout, and remux from stdin?

No backup/recovery code mechanism for MFA

Avainsanat: Mattermost, security

Summary

After setting up multi-factor authentication, losing the authentication code-generating device means losing access to the Mattermost account. While having MFA is excellent, I’m afraid to set it up for my admin user account (which is the one most critically needing it), because there’s no recovery mechanism in case I lose my authenticator device.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable up multi-factor authentication in the System Console
  2. Configure 2FA with an authenticator app on your phone
  3. Break/lose/have your phone stolen
  4. Try to log in

Expected behavior

Have a ”use a backup code instead” link next to the MFA token prompt.

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

There’s no alternative way to provide the MFA. You can not log in.

Possible fixes

None available AFAICT. There’s no way to add security keys as alternatives either.

There’s an existing Jira ticket ticket about this (and it’s linked to an abandoned PR), but it’s closed as ”moved to ProductBoard for prioritization”, and I don’t know what’s happened since then, as I don’t have access to ProductBoard (that I know of).

Mattermost version

v5.34.2

indent/outdent mismatch when using multi-line array assignment inside case…esac

My go-to way of quickly parsing arguments is as follows:

#!/bin/bash                                                                  
                                                                             
quiet="true"                                                                 
files=()                                                                     
                                                                             
for arg in "${@}"; do                                                        
    case "${arg}" in                                                         
        "-v" | "--verbose")                                                  
            quiet="false"                                                    
            ;;                                                               
        *)
            files+=(                                                         
                "${arg}"                                                     
            )                                                                   
            ;;                                                               
    esac                                                                     
done                                                                         

Beautysh (v6.1.0) incorrectly reports this as indent/outdent mismatch and instead indents it like so:

#!/bin/bash                                                                  
                                                                             
quiet="true"                                                                 
files=()                                                                     
                                                                             
for arg in "${@}"; do                                                        
    case "${arg}" in                                                         
        "-v" | "--verbose")                                                  
            quiet="false"                                                    
            ;;                                                               
        *)                                                                   
            files+=(                                                         
                "${arg}"                                                     
            )                                                                
                ;;                                                           
        esac                                                                 
    done

The deciding factor seems to be the multi-line parenthesis in assigning files. If I assign it all on one line, like this:

            files+=("${arg}")                                                

then beautysh is satisfied with the indentation (i.e. doesn’t change it or report a mismatch).
