User experience - loosing account permission (apparently)
Re: User experience - loosing account permission (apparently)
Hello everybody,
Today the issue manifested itself again
It happened right after logging to the system. Just like all the times before, and as now I am used to check the logout button just to check, with great grief I verified that the restart and shutdown buttons were dimmed, and, just like before, if I tried to use the brightness controls, the brightness did not work.
One thing that I noticed is that I have compiz active and that sometimes it seemed to have certain issues loading the various scripts that activate the window effects, so, just to make the test, I deactivated compiz to see if it is related to the problem.
Will continue to do the follow up and let you know if it has any kind of effect in relation to the "permissions" issue. Regards,
zopeck

Re: User experience - loosing account permission (apparently)
There have been other reports of odd behaviour by folks who are using the 6.11,10-1 kernel. You might try using Boot Options in MX Tools to roll back the previous kernel: 6.10.11 and see if the problem disappears.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;
In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Hi j2mcgreg,
I will wait perhaps two or three days, and see if the problem persists, and if so, then I will try and apply what you suggest. Thank you very much.
I will let you know the results of either path. Regards,

Re: User experience - loosing account permission (apparently)
Hello everybody,
Today is day 5 of the follow up test, where I disabled compiz, in order to check if this could be the reason why I experience the issue of "loose of permissions" as detailed before.
Well, till now, the issue did not manifest itself. May be compiz is the one to blame? Currently I am using kernel 6.11.10-1-liquorix-amd64. Compiz is ver. 0.8.18
I think 5 days is a reasonable time to wait for the issue, isn't it? The validation itself then, could be to enable compiz again, and wait, say 5 more days and see.
Now I will activate compiz again and wait for the results. I will let you know.

zopeck.
