NetworkManager major flaws

NetworkManager applet 1.36.0 and previous have 2 major flaws.

  1. When IPV6 is disabled even though the GUI shows it as disabled it allows apps like CUPS and others to still run using IPV6. NetworkManager applet should disable IPV6. This gives the appearance the IPV6 is disabled when it is not.

  2. If you go to a WIFI configuration and click on "WI-FI security" and click on the show password button your WIFI password is immediately displayed without an administrator password being required. This makes it not possible for a a local machine using WIFI to be used for a guest as they can immediately determine your WIFI password.

Tor and Firefox browser in Tab

I have Firefox 150, Tor 15.0.15 running on Debian 13 and with XFCE 4.2 I noticed that the when I have Tor and firefox both running that the Tab icon for Tor disappears into the tab for firefox. If I click on the firefox tab icon Tor appears another click on the same tab Tor will appear. This happens occasionally after running both and shifting around from workspaces.

Debian 13 and apparmor, Generate profiles with aa-genprof

I tried to Generate a profile with aa-genprof, I give it the path to the application and when it runs it gives a menu. In this example I used ping

Please start the application to be profiled in

another window and exercise its functionality now.

Once completed, select the "Scan" option below in

order to scan the system logs for AppArmor events.

For each AppArmor event, you will be given the

opportunity to choose whether the access should be

allowed or denied.

[(S)can system log for AppArmor events] / (F)inish

Setting /usr/bin/ping to enforce mode.

Reloaded AppArmor profiles in enforce mode.

Please consider contributing your new profile!

See the following wiki page for more information:

https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/wikis/Profiles

Finished generating profile for /usr/bin/ping.

I run the application through its paces and press finished but I get no prompts for deny, allow etc.. it just ends. Does apparmor aa-genprof work on debian 13 ?

VB keeps creating logs in my home folder

I upgraded my virtualbox from virtualbox-7.2_7.2.6-172322 to virtualbox-7.2_7.2.8-173730 on Debian 13. I have virtualbox update only on stable releases when noticed that log files where created in my /home/user/ directory on opening a virtual machine.

When I have virtualbox GUI manager check for updates "all new releases and prerelases" expecting it to find 7.2.10 which fixes this issue it finds no updates when I have the GUI check for updates.

Can anyone tell me if 7.2.10 should be avaialble for correcting the log issue?

DNS over HTTPS validity

Does DOH provide any security benefit? DOH shows the host the user connects to allowing a WIFI user I use to block a domain. Since the service name indication, SNI shows the host your DNS is connecting. I understand Cloudflare is working on a improved version oblivious DNS over HTTPS, ODOH.

Does current DOH provide any security advantage ?

Advantage of DNS over https

What advantage do you get from DOH. It displays your DNS host through server name indication SNI. I have had a public WIFI block my connection to a DNS site. this is also why a newer version of DOH called Oblivious DNS over HTTPS or ODOH.

Does DOH gave any security advantage?

Onboard virtual keyboard doesn't work on Debian 13

Onboard is a virtual keyboard app and a problem started in Debian 13 when the Onboard version 1.4.1-10 snippet (press one button for multiple charaters to be typed) stopped working. This function worked in Debain 12 and stopped working in Debian 13.

I tried Onboard on 2 other Debain distros, one of which is Ubunutu and both Debian based distros Snippetes worked. I would like to know why a virtual keyboard fuunction does not work on Debian 13 and works on ther Debian based distros?

Errors with all bridges

I am using Debian 13 with Tor browser 15.15 and when i select the built in bridges tor does not work. It only works with webtunnel bridge. the errors in the log suggest tor only tries one SNI host and even when connected the log gives errors. Can anyone give reason why?

I changed bridge ID to xxx.
