Thanks for posting the update to YouTube! I would have missed it otherwise.
I’m now subscribed to the “announcement” tag here, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to specifically get email notifications for it. Maybe there are RSS feeds for tags?

Hi, thanks for transparancy
But i have a problem after performing the instruction above on my Legion go. After reboot the screen stays black. No idea how to fix.

Will the project be doing routine key rotations (e.g. once or twice a year, or maybe even more frequently if the keys have sufficiently long overlaps in their phase-in/phase-out schedules) to exercise this process, e.g. to ensure it still works as processes evolve and to build “muscle memory” for any unplanned rotations in the future? Or are routine key rotations currently considered too much of an operational burden for maintainers/users?

Thanks so much team for the quick transparency and making the fix scripted.

Like others have said, thank you for the transparency and quick response; also like others have said, this episode has actually solidified my trust in UBlue and the team.
On a related note, I only came across this post while I was using Google to troubleshoot this very issue. It would be really handy to have push notifications sent out for these types of critical issues, not sure if it’s a possibility.
If I could give some feedback – this made me realize that I often don’t use this Discourse forum to get new info and troubleshoot. I think there’s a bit of a visual barrier to get through all the “noise” associated with the user banter on a forum; so I use Google instead. For a bit more user-centric approach, a suggestion could be to put important announcements out on a different “official” platform, while keeping the Discourse forum for general banter, and user questions. Just a thought
Keep up the awesome work! It’s because of you fine folks that I’ve officially kicked Microsoft to the curb! Thank-you!!
Cheers,
Cameron

Regarding the “noise”. I think in a way thats handled by the “announcement” tag. It would be counterproductive to spread the information on different platforms.
-
You can either set the tag to watching and receive a notification via email
-
add the tag to your RSS reader:
https://universal-blue.discourse.group/tag/announcements.rss
I agree that someway to notify users on the OS, before they notice the issue and go troubleshooting, would be the best solution for these critical problems.

I just tried exactly that. It is hella noisy. I get every reply in every thread tagged announcement. no way I would have noticed this. I just happened to be browsing youtube today and got jorges video in my feed. otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed this for quite some time (ever?)

there needs to be a reliable way to notify all users if something like this comes up.

I can definitely see the benefit of doing regularly scheduled key rotations, but this is something we need to discuss as a team so that we get it right, more as a best practice than anything else. If we plan things out, I don’t see this as an operational burden at all for our users, with very minimal work required on our part

There’s a mechanism in the terminal that will show you if you’re on an image longer than 90 days, but that’s not useful for people who don’t use the terminal. Here’s what we’re currently looking at:

I’m using Newsflash and can really recommend it. simple and does what it should.
I am unsure though uf this works with users (like me) who already use Newsflash. I have it synced with my nextcloud so all feeds added will be synced to all my devices, which sounds unnecessary and a bit intrusive for os-news. A standalone app would be a lot more elegant imo - a branded fork of newsflash maybe?
Happy to hear feedback on ideas. Let’s get these either in the issues (or someone start a new thread!).
Let’s keep these comms clear for people who might be coming here for the first time. I’ll figure out a way to clean up the post and tag and we’ll keep brainstorming ways to get the word out.

Worked on my surface, but not on dx 40 initially.
UPDATE: Working now
was getting:
$ curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash
[sudo] password for ****:
Fetching the new public key from ublue-os's github repo...
bash: line 18: /etc/pki/containers/ublue-os.pub: No such file or directory

Amazing work Guys! Was wondering that i broke something. The transparency is insane and a warm welcome to people new to Linux. Ive been a Linux user for a few years now and i finally settled on bazzite a few months ago and never again will i ever distrohop. I had the error pretty recently and i thought it was ean error for packages and such so i reinstalled a clean install of bazzite, wish i knew of the script so that i didnt Have to reinstall but it is what it is. Im glad you guys fixed this and gave the users updates on what happen. the trust of you guys as developers is increasing for myself included as well as other users. Its much
