[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1826604] Re: Extension causes saving files to desktop to be slow
On my systems, this bug also affected saving files from firefox, regardless of the destination! This is not about the time for downloading, I'm talking about ~1 kB files. On one machine, it took 4-5 seconds saving such files to any location (not just the desktop), on the other it took over 2 seconds. After renaming the extension, saving from firefox happened instantly again on both machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826604 Title: Extension causes saving files to desktop to be slow Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons: New Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: To reproduce: 1.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1728467] Re: All files on ntfs partitions are marked executable
In ubuntu 16.10/17.04/17.10, handling of ntfs drives has changed compared to 14.04.5. Now, all files on an ntfs drive are marked as executable. This is bad for several reasons: - it just does not make any sense, data files are not executable, windows executables are usually not executable on linux - if there is a linux executable on the ntfs drive, security procedure on ext would be having to explicitly set the execute bit, why should it be "less" secure if the file resides on a different drive. - links (on ext, e.g. Desktop) to files residing on the ntfs drives are also marked executable. Error message: "The link ... is broken. Move it to Trash? This link cannot be used because its target ... doesn't exist." I first have to remove the execute bit from each and every link (which reapears instantly), only then they will be usable. All those links are invalid again after every reboot. Interestingly, if I remove the execute bit from a link AND open it using OpenWith... (not the standard application to open it) then ALL links to ntfs files become usable all of a sudden. - if I download a file to an ntfs drive and then try to open it using firefox download menu, I get a warning "Open executable file? ... is an executable file. Executable files can contain viruses or other malicious code that could harm your computer. Are you sure you want to execute ... ?" . This gives the false impression of a security risk!

Please understand that this is severely affecting basic ubuntu use with ntfs drives for basic users, while bug #453605 that is said to be the reason of the misbehaviour has merely given more options to advanced users and was not intended to mess up file handling in the way it presumably did. If it's goal "easy way to configure the default umask for VFAT/NTFS" has been reached, it should also be easy to set sane defaults for users that can't (nor should be required to) do it for themselves. ** Changed in: udisks2 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728467 Title: All files on ntfs partitions are marked executable Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This did not happen in 14.04 but somewhere since then udisks2 sets any & all files on ntfs partitions as executable.
