In the affected plugs, pressing the tab key while the sidebar is focused toggles through the list of items in the sidebar instead of giving focus to the next widget in the plug. This makes navigation of the plugs by keyboard difficult.

Feel free to mark this as invalid if it's intended behavior but it feels as though the up and down keys should control the selected item in the sidebar (which they do) and the tab key should allow you tab across to the first item in the main part of the plug.

Lewis brought up the idea of locking the session when a bluetooth device disconnects. This would mean that for example walking away from the computer should lock the screen.

I think that we would need to do some kind of roundtripping and not just watch for a disconnect to make sure we're getting a good idea of proximity.

The GUI of the Firewall is not working properly, it shows it's not activated; I opened the terminal and introduced the "sudo ufw status" command and it said it was "Active".

To anyone who reads this; thank you for your time.

Location service not working.
i turn off location but app still share location.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Applications menu
2. Type "firewall"

Expected Result

The "Security & Privacy" plug should turn up as a result.

Actual Result

No search results.

The firewall works as a frontent for ufw but it is not able to show many of ufw's configurations properly. The attached screenshot is from my firewall window and here is the same ufw configuration from the cli:
     To Action From
     -- --------- -
[ 1] 22 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 2] 5900 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 3] 9091 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 4] Anywhere DENY IN 146.66.156.0/23
[ 5] Anywhere DENY IN 185.25.180.0/23
[ 6] Anywhere DENY IN 155.133.240.0/22
[ 7] 146.66.156.0/23 DENY OUT Anywhere (out)
[ 8] 185.25.180.0/23 DENY OUT Anywhere (out)
[ 9] 155.133.240.0/22 DENY OUT Anywhere (out)

Functionality missing comparing to ufw:

• setting rules for entire subnets
• setting rule direction (outbound or inbound)
• commenting on rules
• adding rules onto specific place on the list since rule order does matter in firewalls

Why this is all important on simple setups:

• We can't restrict ssh to allow only LAN connections
• We can't block a malicius subnets
• Rule order is important on firewalls and the only way to change first rule on 9 rule firewall via gui is currently to remove all rules and readd them in the correct order.

Aditional thoughts:

• Adding a single rule always creates two rules (ipv4, ipv6) which is confusing at first
• distinguishing between ipv4 and ipv6 is a blue checkbox which is missleading because at first everyone ive asked thought that these were rule on/off switches
• privacy plug\s sudo authorisation timeouts pretty fast which is very annoying when configuring the firewall
• denying a reeintry of sudo credentials result in a hangup privacy plug window

Launchpad Details: #LP1624907 ovdeathiam - 2016-09-18 17:55:30 +0000

As it is right now creating rules for the firewall is a piece of cake. But it seems to be impossible to edit the "from" field, making rules rather moot for a lot of production environments, as 1433 incoming, for an example will allow IP's outside my LAN to access my Sql Server

Instead of asking the user to authenticate beforehand, we should ask them to authenticate if they try to do something that requires permissions

Even with the toggle off, the computer still gets locked after a suspend.

Needs more investigation though, could be caused by other factors

or a solution that is more appropriate. A solution where users do not have to use the terminal to know & handle autoremove commands.

I guess, that due to the regular kernel image updates, 90% of my boot partition is now filled. I received a desktop notification during my last update.
I wonder how self-explanatory this notification is for everyday users. It doesn't offer me any options for what I can do or informs me about the consequences if I don't react at times.

Somehow the issue doesn't fit with Security & Privacy, does it?
However, since the housekeeping function is also located here, I can't think of any other place where the ticket could fit in well. Please feel free to move it to a more suitable place!

To reproduce:

• Use the plug to turn history off
• Use dconf to change the settings "remember-recent-files and "remember-app-usage" back to true.
• The plug does not update even if closed and reopened.

We need a page to show the status of disk encryption and for changing the encryption password if the disk is encrypted

It's come to my attention that the settings for both UFW and firewalld can be overridden at a lower level by certain software packages.

If at all possible, we should have some way to check for these open ports and display them in the UI. But at a minimum, we should have some kind of warning information that this is a thing that can occur and that there might be rules somewhere else on the system that are opening other ports.

I noticed the Housekeeping URL never got added to any documentation. I'm working on a revision to the spec over at https://github.com/elementary/switchboard/wiki/System-Settings-Schema-Specification based on our usage over the past several years and thinking about the abstract implementations that could exist across desktops. I think a top-level settings://privacy probably makes more sense in the long-run, since:

1. Privacy is not necessarily a subset of security,
2. Other platforms separate these concepts anyway, and
3. We have several sub-settings of privacy that are not really security-related

The relevant updated URLs for this plug would be:

"Lock after screen turns off" option is not working, it always locks either way, plus it takes too long just to turn the screen off.

I believe this service is already provided by the gsd-housekeeping process ( see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/blob/master/plugins/housekeeping/gsd-disk-space.c) so we just need to provide a user interface.

Feature

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is more of a discussion question to improve the wording if necessary.
I've made this setting: "Old files can be deleted automatically after 0 days to save space and protect your privacy".

I wonder if it doesn't make sense to explain to users at this point what "after 0 days" means. Or whether this concrete setting should simply state: "Temporary and deleted files are not stored on your computer at all". But these files have to be stored somewhere until they are deleted "after 0 days", right? Or are temporary files never created and stored in this mode?

The Security Privacy Manager caused both Plank and Wingpanel to suddenly disappear after an Update.
By launching it manually, i found out, it was related to some SEGFAULT. I couldnt figure out where or when it happens.

What solved my Problem was to uninstall the Security Privacy Manager.
sudo apt remove switchboard-plug-security-privacy

It´s very hard for me to give further information on the issue, as I switched to arch linux with kde recently. Even if i reinstalled elementary, it is very unlikely, that it occurs again.

This has been removed in Gtk4

In corporate or enterprise environments, listing all the user accounts on the login screen (greeter) is not feasible, either due to security or because of network logins (such as Active Directory and Open Directory).

Please add an option that configures Pantheon Greeter to hide the users list and instead show a username/password login box.

Currently, a lot of the code that handles the InfoBar and lock button for the Firewall page are in Plug.vala. Considering the re-design where each view now has its own space and the InfoBar doesn't go right across the top of the window anymore, it makes more sense to try and move this into FirewallPanel.vala and have each panel handle polkit requests where needed.

Hi,

Tried a lot of options to use drag and drop option from host system to Elementary OS, but no success.

As far as i know, there is no such a problem in Ubuntu's latest version.

It would be great if there is such an option.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• System settings> Power > scene timeout to 5m ...
  System settings>security> Locking> screen lock after suspend ...and screen lock after screen timeout is turned on..

Expected behavior:

• It should auto lock the screen and turn off the display after that set time..

Platform Information:

• OS: elementary OS
• OS Version - 5.1.4
• Hardware info
  -Kernel- 5.3.0.51
  Model- hp da0326tu

  Ram- 8GB
  GPU - Intel HD graphics 620

Please check what applies:
-->

• I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
• I'm using the latest released stable version

Additional context:

• My laptop screen goes off after 5m and after 2-3 Seconds it turns on again and shows Login screen for forever it never turns off the screen....
  No modification done to the system..

An early reply is highly appreciated thank you 😊

The housekeeping layout in Onboarding is more compact, but it's also just less repetitive. We should update the copy and possibly layout here to better match.

Doesn't appear to be possible to disable collecting app usage data without going into full privacy mode.

This plug currently requires ufw and executes ufw commands through pkexec to apply rules.

However, a better approach would be to use FirewallD1 and communicate with it via D-Bus. This also has the advantage of making it less brittle as communication via D-Bus is easier to manage than pkexec calls and allows for more granular privilege control (reducing the need to escalate privileges to merely when you need to write new rules).

FirewallD also supports a service-oriented model for managing firewall rules. For example, if you're controlling via the CLI, to close the SSH port, you can just do "firewall-cmd --remove-service=ssh" instead of having to specify to remove port 22. This enables you to make the plug simpler and describe things in terms of services, rather than in terms of ports.

You can, of course, still specify ports and stuff. Via the CLI, it's merely "firewall-cmd --(add|remove)-port=/(tcp|udp)".

It also has a concept of zones, so you can expose that if you'd like as well.

Everything about FirewallD is available via D-Bus, and all the tools currently written use D-Bus to communicate with it.

FirewallD is available as "firewalld" in Ubuntu.

In elementary OS, there are two notation of same meaning: "sleep" and "suspend".
Most of the notation are "suspend", but there are one word "sleep" here:

Considering the quantity of the words, I suppose it's easier to change the string above to "suspend", but it's okay to unify to "sleep". In short, I think it would be better to unify the notation to either "sleep" or "suspend" across the whole OS.

Since we're going to be adding more pages for agents like Location, the name "Privacy" no longer makes sense since that name will apply to several pages.

We're going to have to come up with a better name like "History" or "Usage Data" or something
