I saw that os-prober has been reenabled with manjaro-system-20210321-2 and I was wondering if thats an upstream change, because the vulnerabilities have been fixed or not. I also could not find any detail to the vulnerabilities in os-prober. Is this related to boothole? I saw the commit message on grub stating that
The os-prober is enabled by default what may lead to potentially
dangerous use cases and borderline opening attack vectors.
But no further details on this. Could anyone point me in the right direction here?
No. It is most likely because this change was not welcomed by a part of the community. It looks like many people prefer having os-prober on by default. Also, considering that many other Linux distros did not make the transition yet, Manjaro suffered from the comparison.
In term of security, there is doubts that disabling os-prober or not would actually matter on Manjaro. The reason is that, as far as I know, in general, vulnerabilities in GRUB are used to circumvent secure boot, a feature that is usually disabled when you use Manjaro (since Manjaro does not really support secure boot at the moment AFAIK); therefore, mitigating an issue that allows the attacker to get around something that is not there to begin with would be kind of useless.
If you actually want to keep it off, you can edit the configuration file to change the option back (then do update-grub).
Honestly, on my side, I somehow got used to it, going in the UEFI settings to boot on Windows instead of Manjaro when I needed to go on Windows.

I’m on KDE, and the update made my system lose the login screen. On further research (non X terminal), I cannot launch kdm nor plasma with this error:
$ kstart5 kdm
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libK5KIOCore.so.5 : undefined symbol: blah
Is there any way I could save this install? I’d rather not reinstall.
It could be that I screwed up the kde/qt libs by trying to install a .deb with a converter tool to AUR package… and it may have failed in a way that breaks the system.
I don’t care if I have to sacrifice KDE (I use it with openbox). I just don’t want to have to set up everything from scratch.
Thanks!
Hi,
I think this thread may be related to your error

I have already tried the PulseEffects solutions proposed in the know issues section
I suggest you start a new topic with a pipewire tag
and post system information
inxi -Fazy
and information about the systemd sockets and services for Pipewire
systemctl --user -l -no-pager status pipewire*
AFAIK there are 3 services - pipewire.service; pipewire-pulse.service and pipewire-media-session.service

I single-boot, use secure boot and had the prober “disabled” in grub config long before.
Curiously the disablement seems to have kicked in only now, after the security issue became public.
The reason I presume this, is that os-prober can’t handle lvm snapshots of rootfs (it leads to leaked file descriptor errors and a hung update-grub). With this update this issue is finally gone.
It’s a win-win in my book.
Hmm, interesting so there was something fixed in os-prober that could classify as a vulnerability. The question is if this also is the issue because of which os-prober got disabled in the first place.
@Frog I don’t think all vulnerabilities in grub are solely used to bypass secure boot. There might be other attack vectors here aswell (although I do not know enough about grub to tell you what could be a possible one). Of course a patch to boothole does not make a difference if your system is not using secure boot. That’s one of the reasons I’d like to know what the vulnerability was in the first place.
Maybe someone else can shed more light on this?
There were links to all the information on the grub issues in the 2021-03-08 stable update thread however, here is a link again to a posting from ubuntu on the 8 security issues that are now fixed.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/GRUB2SecureBootBypass2021
Almost all (7 of the 8) have to do with secure boot issues or vulnerabilities that allow the secure boot issue to take place.

It can’t. I always ended up killing a grub-mount in those cases.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, must have overlooked it in the other thread. Thank you very much!
Pretty sure you dont need this anymore. None of my XFCE installations have it and my volume keys are working as expected. My guess is that this package is interfering with the way XFCE now handles things. Remove and reboot, see if that helps.
EDIT:
Multimedia keys are now handled by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin (which sits in the notification area).
If you right click on the notification area icon and select “properties”, you will find an option to toggle this behavior.

After this updated I’m facing random issue related to the OS. Suddenly the system lock the mouse, make log off, to black screen and reload the screen in a kind of pixeled image e starts to blink the screen not completing the load bar so it requires me to to push reset bottom.
It was needed to use the my cellphone camera to get an image.
Is there any log I should get information to post here in order to better understand what is happening?
I made the update at 25/mar and this issue happen only two times, been surfing in the internet and playing games with any issue, it’s really happen random and more when like the system is not in issue maybe maybe some issue related to energy management, don’t know.

Thanks for this nice update.
After the update of the 8th March and once again after this update, the shortcut Alt + Shift for switching from one keyboard layout to another, does not work any more. To make it working again, I have found a workaround: I have to put the laptop to sleep, and make it wake up from the sleep: after that, it works again from one keyboard to a second one but not to the third and fourth one configured. So I have to put it to sleep two more times, in order to be able to switch between my four different keyboard layouts. Would it be possible to change this small problem, if it would appear after a next update?
Thanks!
even before the update, I had problems with assigning rights on the hhd disk, but after the update, the same problems appeared already in the home partition, only a reboot helps
