 Jan Tojnar | piegames: I think overrides à la haskell’s configuration common would be most convenient | 21:56:10 |
 hexa | Jan Tojnar: question would be: which target branch | 22:03:32 |
| hexa | 🔥 (staging) 🔥🔥 (staging-next) 🔥🔥🔥 (master) | 22:03:51 |
| Jan Tojnar | it is very gnarly, so I owuld go with master | 22:04:05 |
| hexa | polkit has its own user, but little hardening | 22:04:44 |
| hexa | merge at your own discretion, this should at least cleanly backport to 21.05 | 22:05:07 |
| hexa | applies to 20.09 as well 🙈 | 22:08:21 |
| Jan Tojnar | hexa: I have not read it very closely, can one just run any process as root (e.g. using pkexec API) | 22:08:53 |
| Jan Tojnar | * hexa: I have not read it very closely, does this allow just running any process as root (e.g. using pkexec API)? | 22:09:17 |
| hexa |
The vulnerability can be reliably used by an unprivileged local attacker
to bypass authorization and escalate permissions up to the root user.
| 22:09:20 |
| Jan Tojnar | * hexa: I have not read it very closely, does this allow just running any command as root (e.g. using pkexec API)? | 22:09:34 |
| hexa | https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/06/03/1 | 22:09:41 |
| Jan Tojnar | or only those registered as polkit actions? | 22:09:48 |
| hexa | I'm not too familiar with polkit internals, sorry | 22:11:09 |
| Jan Tojnar | I cannot look into it more at the moment so I would just merge | 22:12:33 |
| hexa | then let's wait for fridh/vcunat | 22:14:56 |

how to fix this (or does anyone know what causes this)?

seems like it had to do with a gsettings issue, now it finds the schema and the app properly opens | 06:50:53 |
| hmenke | Regarding my lag problem: I downgraded from Kernel 5.11.21 to 5.10.37 and now it seems to be much better. Actually the machine also boot much faster. There seems to be a regression in 5.11. | 09:18:15 |
| hmenke | There is still some stutter but as far as I can tell this only affects XWayland applications now. | 14:47:05 |

| hmenke | Seems like I just exchanged one problem for another. There is now a weird delay in rendering. I type something in the terminal and it looks like it hangs but in reality the screen is just not refreshed. | 09:44:40 |
| hmenke | What is even going on? I'm completely out of ideas. And the worst things is that there is nothing in the journal. | 09:45:33 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmenke: try looking at it in sysprof | 09:54:24 |
 piegames | Some GTK applications that I run in Nix ignore my system's settings: No theme, no font settings, and only one button in the top corner. How can I fix them? | 13:42:57 |
| piegames | I think this has to do with application that are somehow wrapped with custom settings that override my system's, but not surre | 13:43:17 |
| piegames | * I think this has to do with application that are somehow wrapped with custom settings that override my system's, but not sure | 13:43:19 |
| Jan Tojnar | what apps? are they GTK3? | 14:43:19 |
| Jan Tojnar | piegames: wrappers do not change values of settings, only the defaults | 14:43:54 |
| piegames | Jan Tojnar: I get this with Chromium when I enable experimental Wayland support, and with Eclipse. But I also remember running into this with my own GTK application. Other GTK applications are fine, however. | 14:46:16 |
