Done. Thanks, Sebastien!

When trying without root:

$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=16M count=1 of=test.img
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
16777216 bytes (17 MB, 16 MiB) copied, 0.0326881 s, 513 MB/s
$ echo foo | cryptsetup luksFormat test.img –
Not compatible PBKDF options.

Whereas for root it still works:

# dd if=/dev/zero bs=16M count=1 of=test.img
Please touch the device.
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
16777216 bytes (17 MB, 16 MiB) copied, 0.0183403 s, 915 MB/s
# echo foo | sudo cryptsetup luksFormat test.img –
#

For a workaround (from upstream report) with non-root, specify –type luks1:

$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=16M count=1 of=test.img
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
16777216 bytes (17 MB, 16 MiB) copied, 0.0138972 s, 1.2 GB/s
$ echo foo | cryptsetup luksFormat –type luks1 test.img –
$

Oh and I’m using Wayland, in case it matters here. Haven’t yet tried whether Xorg is similarly affected.

When trying to start a virtual machine with Gnome Boxes, I get a prompt about keyboard shortcuts. The prompt text is localized, but translated back to English (I think, based on [1]) it says:

Boxes wants to inhibit shortcuts

You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape.

In my locale (Finnish), it says

Sovellus Boksit haluaa rajoittaa pikanäppäinten toimintaa.

Voit palauttaa pikanäppäinten toiminnan painamalla Super…

(sic; see attached photo)

So the actual key combination is truncated, defeating the point of that part of the text.

This isn’t a localization error (AFAICT; see [2]). It’s caused by the text being forced to fit on a single line of an arbitrarily fixed width, instead of wrapping to span as many lines as needed.

(I’m reporting this against gnome-shell as opposed gnome-boxes based on [3]. Feel free to reassign as necessary.)

For some of the depressing history of this, see bug #875002 (which has been incorrectly marked as fixed by someone without a clue) from way back in 2011.

I’m using 20.04 and a Wayland session. My preferred focus mode is to have it follow the mouse cursor:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode
’mouse’

Unfortunately this causes GTK apps’ popup (RMB) menu to jump to the app window corner when opened. I’m attaching a screencast, where I demonstrate the bug first, then reset focus-mode to ’click’ to demonstrate the bug no longer manifesting. (Please excuse the flashing. It’s just a video artefact caused by Gnome’s built in screen recorder, which was the only one that at least somewhat worked.)

This has been reported upstream, where a fix was recently merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/1103

Happy to report that the proposed packages did fix the issue for me also. Thanks everyone!

@Marcus: yup, that seems to be it:

That is, no stack trace nor other apparent problems when starting LO with SAL_DISABLE_CPD=true.

Can’t speak for Stuart, but I’m the other one affected, and still so:
