@RJDan Not while using encryption, because all the info needed for the functions you care about are inaccessible until after your home folder is decrypted.

@pparent O I see.. I didn't get the optional part initially.

@pparent That would mean that only open source projects would be allowed into the Open Store. While I am not opposed to that per se, that has never been the premise of the Open Store.

@Linuxlite76 said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A177 call for questions:

someone like Elon Musk

Not 'exactly' like Elon Musk, though.

@klh said in App security (new KeepassRX app):

All versions of OpenStore also show the permissions list and that should be the first thing people check, can't expect non-technical users to unpack clicks before installation.

Fully agreed. But RandomUser did not strike me as someone who would necessarily trust second hand information. So I showed a way they could check for themselves.

@kugiigi Was not saying the concern is not valid. Was saying it can be assuaged, and showing how. The permissions requested are also listed in the Open Store itself.

But you do raise a good point. Maybe like a dialog box listing the new permissions that are requested since the last update, which gives the option to proceed or cancel.

@jagdtigger Indeed, there is no export function in NetworkManager. Also it seems that Ubuntu has transitioned to using netplan at some point.

In any case, you can find your VPN config either in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ or else in /etc/netplan/.

Both locations are writeable by root on UT, so you could try copying over the correct file(s).

Bubuntu Touch

Just curious, what does Bubuntu mean in your language, since you keep making the same typo ...

@t12392n said in App security (new KeepassRX app):

I wish there was an strict firewall native in Ubuntu Touch so that we would see and control what is allowed to talk. A local Keepass should not talk to the internet.

If the app is confined (as this one is) you don't need to blindly trust that the package in the open store was compiled by the code that is linked, to be sure it doesn't phone home. If you know what to look for, you can download the .click package and examine the contents. The most important is the .apparmor file, which describes what permissions the packages requests from the system.

Here we see that this app is indeed confined, and it only declares the content_exchange policy group. This means that the app will not be able to access the network at all, because the networking policy group is not included in the apparmor.

@jagdtigger What version of UT are you on? And what channel?

@klh Even confined apps can be made to be exempt from suspension (via the Tweak tool). And apparently this is also currently the case for XWayland apps. This is a bug, no doubt, but something to be aware of nonetheless for now.

maybe the thread should be locked for new replies

Good idea!

@Bolly I am locking this thread. The 176th Q&A has already taken place, and this particular conversation has run its course.

@t12392n said in We Drop Ubuntu Touch Entirely:

But as stated, is this adapter for mobile view or desktop?

uFirefox is mobile Firefox on UT. It runs confined on Noble and is a joy to use. Just remember to swipe it away, as it is exempt from the app lifetime management and will keep running in the background. Great for YouTube Music or Spotify. Not so great for your battery life.

@Pierlink_Cloud This forum is for discussions and help on Ubuntu Touch proper, so your post is bordering on being off topic. I have moved it to the off-topic category for now. Let's see if anyone can help you transition from LXDE (or is it LXQt now) to Lomiri on what was originally a Lubuntu installation to your laptop.

I will say though, that the recommended way of installing Lomiri on Ubuntu is to start out with Ubuntu Server 24.04 and install Lomiri from the PPA.

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

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

@jagdtigger Do you have an Ubuntu Desktop PC you could configure your VPN on and see if it works? Preferably one running the very same base version as the UT you have on your device. So 20.04 or 24.04.

Once you get that set-up in a satisfactory manner, you could then export the configuration to a .ovpn file, which you could then install with nmcli on UT.

@mikirc said in uWolf (LibreWolf):

What is wrong ?
UB 24.04 (2025-10-19)

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.

@pparent Hi, great work on the app. I was wondering though: Is there a reason you use pixels and not grid units (units.gu()) in your app for the margins etc?

Using grid units makes it so that it should scale properly across all devices.
