[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2060223] [NEW] Nautilus slowness when expanding/collapsing folders

2024-04-05 Thread niix
Public bug reported:

In the recent two days I noticed a slowness in Nautilus while trying to
expand a folder in the List View.

When I click on the icon which expands a folder, then it is written
"Loading..." beneath the folder and after about 3 seconds then the list
appears.

Also when trying to "collapse" the expanded folder, then the effect
happens only after few seconds (takes way too much time).

Ubuntu version: 22.04.4.
Using nvidia-driver-535 (proprietary, tested).

$ nautilus --version
GNOME nautilus 42.6

** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided

  Major security issue in Ubuntu Desktop default config - Removable

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is a MAJOR SECURITY VULNERABILITY in Ubuntu Desktop since
  release 18.04 !

  Recently I used Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and noticed that the issue still
  exist!

  
  I don’t know the reason for it, but default values for “Removable Media” are 
VERY Risky!
  It will automatically run the software which is attached to the removable 
media.
  Why? Why has Ubuntu still didn’t disable that option?

  
  The following is the default configuration (the “bad” configuration):

  The following is the configuration which Ubuntu should be having (it is the 
fix to the problem):

  Please change the default configurations for Ubuntu!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2003579] Re: Simulating Secondary mouse key fails

2023-04-23 Thread niix
Moving the bug report to the package "xkeyboard-config", because I already have 
an additional bug report with a similar issue and someone there commented that 
it should be moved to package "xkeyboard-config" - please see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/2003581/comments/2


** Package changed: ubuntu => xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu)

  Simulating Secondary mouse key fails

Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I want to simulate the secondary mouse button via the keyboard.
  (By clicking the secondary mouse button, then normally a menu appears.)

  So, I opened the Accessibility menu and enabled the option "Mouse Keys".
  Additionally, I opened the sub-menu of "Click Assist" and enabled the option 
"Simulated Secondary Click".
  You can see these two configuration options enabled - in the attached image 
"MouseKeys_SecondaryClick.png".

  The following Ubuntu Help page explains it:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y-right-click.html.en

  
  The actual result:
  When continuously clicking the number "5" on the numpad of my keyboard, then 
it looks like the left mouse button is being clicked repeatedly.

  The expected result:
  Simulating a click of the right mouse button (for the current location of the 
mouse pointer).

  Probably this bug is related to either of the following packages:
  "gnome-control-center"
  or
  "xkb-data"

  Details about the system:

  Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

  gnome-control-center/jammy-updates,now 1:41.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.5

  xkb-data/jammy,jammy,now 2.33-1 all

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2003581] Re: Mouse keys fails to work after a restart

2023-04-23 Thread niix
Hi @Gunnar,

I already have package "0.50-2ubuntu22.04.1" installed, see:

$ apt search im-config
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
im-config/jammy-updates,jammy-updates,now 0.50-2ubuntu22.04.1 all 
[installed,automatic]
  Input method configuration framework


Though the bug still exist:
After a restart, the GUI shows that "Mouse Keys" feature is enabled, though 
clicking on the number 5 on the keypad fails to simulate a click on the left 
mouse button.

Bug description:
  Regarding the "Mouse Keys" feature in Ubuntu:

  The "Mouse Keys" feature's purpose is to simulate the mouse by using the 
numpad of the keyboard.
  For example, a click on the left mouse button is simulated by clicking the 
number "5" on the numpad of the keyboard.

  This is explained in the following Ubuntu Help page:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/mouse-mousekeys.html.en

  You can see that this feature is enabled in my system - in the
  attached picture "MouseKeys.png".

  I noticed that if that Mouse keys option is enabled, then after a
  restart - the feature fails to work, despite that the GUI shows that
  the feature is enabled.

  In order to make the feature to work after a restart, first I need to
  disable the Mouse Keys feature (the GUI shows that the feature is
  enabled) and then I need to enable it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1983778] Re: Major security issue in Ubuntu Desktop default config - Removable Media

2022-09-22 Thread niix
Hey @Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur) ,

I appreciate your reply, but please consider the following:

Reason #1:

Having that pop-up screen easily allows to perform the execution of a software.
Imagine, for example, a malicious person in a College or some other public 
place -  quickly inserting a USB device to a briefly unattended laptop and 
quickly clicking "Run" on the warning dialog.

These things may happen! I've witnessed students conspire to do that!

Why would Ubuntu make it so easy for people to execute software
automatically?

Reason #2:

In the security aspect, the default approach should be to avoid any execution 
of software, or at least make it more difficult.
Automatic execution of software which is in a USB drive is considered a bad 
practice and is outdated.

Reason #3

I think that most people don't use an automatic execution of software.
Thus, why would Ubuntu even allow it to happen so easily?
Any person who use automatic execution could configure the appropriate configs.
But there is no reason for it to be allowed by default.

---

Bottom line, we are in an era where all options for Removable Media
should be "Do nothing" and the tickbox of "Never prompt or start
programs on media insertion" should be ticked.

The user has the option to change these configs.
Preferably, only admin (verified with password) is allowed to change these 
configs.
