        So have a question about security. I read that uWolf has unlimited access to the system. Isn't that a big security risk? How do you guys see that?

          @rdfrs thats because apparmor rules (waiting for fix to trickle down to stable releases ask @Fuseteam he knows about this better then me)
          confinment is mostly done, not a priority though because it will not raise security as much as you think only make it clearer to you the user what i am doing on you're phone, which granted is a very good reason and is why im working on it. (there is a branch with confinement implemented im just waiting until it won't break the app to use)

            Awesome! uWolf is currently my daily driver browser in UT. Thank you for your hard work!

                Does it still start for anyone after the latest update (on 20.04)?

                  @haagch Yes, but I only got OSK on the second run.

                    @Ida_ Ugh it started working again after restarting the phone. I didn't see any obvious errors in journalct or the output of /opt/click.ubuntu.com/uwolf.chromiumos-guy/current/librewolf.sh, not sure what the problem was, but a reboot fixed it.

                      @haagch i'm going on vacation today so development is going to be slower then usual combine that with the NixManager plugin for Noble which im also working on, and the fact i just moved all my devices to Noble in preparation for moving uWolf to Noble proper and i can't really do much about it.

                      but uWolf is janky like that because of Xwayland if the OSK gives you problems enter the wayland windows (the one with the icon and loading gif) it will redirect you back to the browser but in most cases will also unstick the OSK and make it work again, because somehow Xwayland "unselects" the window that is the browser.

                        you can also just tap and hold for the context menu, then it should work again

                          To answer my own question, yes it still works on Noble as it did on Focal.

                          As a side note, I feel like I saw GPS (google maps web) working once, but currently it's definitely not working. Do we know what it would take to get it working?

                            @haagch on morph it worked for a while on focal, but they seemed to make an update that just breaks it rn.

                            on uWolf its a question of how to get location working.

                              Hello @ChromiumOS-Guy .
                              What is a beta release in your plan now that the first stable noble is here ? Do you know approximately when the first beta in the OpenStore ? Thanks for your great work.

                                My hope for real wayland support is that it improves not rendering stuff when idle.

                                Currently when I run uWolf and power off the screen (even when I focus another app), lomiri permanently uses 30-40% cpu and pulseaudio 15%.

                                00b16def-826f-477d-8885-69a1d82969f3-image.png

                                This makes the phone a nice pocket warmer, but also sucks the battery pretty fast.

                                Or currently, might there be a way to tell firefox to drop its rendering while the screen is off or another app is focused, like maybe "minimizing" it in xwayland?

                                    Your issues are probably due to the fact you are running 24.04. The version of uWolf in the Open Store is for 20.04 at the moment.

                                        @mikirc This also happens when you open the app from the Drawer instead of directly from the Open Store?

                                            @mikirc Then it might be an issue specific to your device or device port. Otherwise more users would have reported this.
