Public bug reported:
For the last couple days (I have only had this laptop for a couple days,
I installed first 22.04 then 23.10, I have only noticed this behavior
since moving to 23.10) when I open my laptop screen after closing the
lid, the login screen sometimes has a strange light gray box at the
bottom with a green arrow pointing down. It looks like there is supposed
to be text to the right of the arrow, like it is a notification or
something, but there is no text.
Usually (I *think* 100% of the time) when I enter my password after
seeing the green arrow I have a specific notification waiting for me,
saying the "DBX database" (this is something to do with secure boot, it
is apparently legitimate) needs to be updated, if I successfully click
on this notification before it goes away (it's pretty quick) it opens
firmware-updater and asks about updating the DBXes. It is possible the
green arrow is the firmware-updater/DBX notification *trying* to
display, but the text is not displaying.
In case the DBX notification is the repro for the bug, I will hold off
on updating the DBX database until I find out whether you need more
information than is currently attached.
