Bug#949608: usbguard: bring back some GUI frontend to Debian
Hey. If you don't mind,... then from my side we can close the bug. usbguard-notifier is probably not getting packaged anytime soon, and with usbguard thus being left barely usable for desktops (which are however it's main target) ... I'm switching now to usbauth. Cheers, Chris.

Hey. Anything new on this? As per: - https://usbguard.github.io/blog/2019/usbguard-0.7.6 respectively - https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard/issues/476#issuecomment-853766678 the former nice Qt Applet won't come back... and instead upstream suggests: https://github.com/Cropi/usbguard-notifier Any chances to get that packages instead of usbguard-applet-qt? Cheers, Chris.

Yeah, I was hoping that there would be a repository for the applet code by now, but thats not the case. > An upstream bug: > https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard/issues/334 > > mentions e.g.: > https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome > and > https://github.com/Cropi/usbguard-notifier > > but for the later I'm not sure whether it supports > allowing/blocking/rejecting devices or just sends notifications via > libnotify. Yes, I've looked at both of them a couple of month ago and even started packaging them, but at that time both seemed not ready for a package. usbguard-notifier apparently made a release in December, so I'll take another look at that. usbguard-gnome on the other hand seems stalled and does not work with the current version of usbguard: https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome/issues/16 I'm also not sure how stable usbguards interface is, but there is also the Gnome desktop integration, which apparently will be released with Gnome 3.36 in March (I know thats not a solution if one doesn't use Gnome). cheers, Birger
Bug#949608: usbguard: bring back some GUI frontend to Debian
Package: usbguard Version: 0.7.6+ds-1 Severity: wishlist Hi. Since upstream dropped the frontend applet (and Debian followed) the probable major use case for usbguard (desktop systems) is pretty much crippled. Would it be possible to bring back a frontend do Debian? An upstream bug: https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard/issues/334 mentions e.g.: https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome and https://github.com/Cropi/usbguard-notifier but for the later I'm not sure whether it supports allowing/blocking/rejecting devices or just sends notifications via libnotify. Cheers, Chris.
