oxen-io / lokinet-gui Goto Github PK

When Lokinet is pined to the taskbar running it creates a second icon in the task bar instead of using the one that is already pinned.

To reproduced install Lokinet. Ues search bar to find application, right click and select pin to taskbar. From the taskbar use the Lokinet icon to launch Lokinet. A second Lokinet icon will appear on the taskbar.

Here's a video of the bug https://youtu.be/P859K9ea-io

lokinet.log

I have internet for long enough to load https://ifconfig.me/ and see that the IP has changed, but then lose internet quickly after that.

Are you going in another direction with the GUI?

Seemed to be the appropriate time to make this request.

perhaps we can add a help/about pane that links to our github discussions mega thread index: oxen-io/lokinet#2101

The GUI can show additional info under the 'chart' section or something, showing the IP:port of service nodes the client is currently connected to and paths that have been built. With this, maybe, lokinetmon can be made go obsolete because the GUI is more convenient to use.

lokinet-gui works fine for me when started in dev mode with yarn dev:electron and yarn dev:react. I also build the binaries, but when I run ./release/linux-unpacked/lokinet-gui a window opens but stays grey. I use manjaro linux.

On the console I see:

Connected to port 1190
(node:14633) electron: The default of contextIsolation is deprecated and will be changing from false to true in a future release of Electron.  See https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/23506 for more information

I also wanted to try the CI builds, but I couldn't find lokinet-gui linked. Probably it's this: https://oxen.rocks/oxen-io/lokinet-control-panel/ . But the folder is named falsely then. Why is there no general x86 linux build?

Observation:
The frequency in which lokinet.ini settings require alteration appears may fit into the category of justifying access to them through addition of an advanced users settings tab.

Justification:
Currently users are required to have the knowledge of the ini file. Find it's location. Open it in an editor in command line. Make changes and restart the service to apply changes.

Recommendation:
Suggest the addition of a advanced settings/users tab(s) in the GUI to modify and apply lokinet.ini values for client only settings of Lokinet. Includes values in drop downs for those selections which are binary, have recommended rational ranges. i.e. hops ->1 - 8 or data entry fields which are parsed for suitable custom values. Additionally include a reset to defaults button.

when we build the gui for windows via ci which runs linux and cross compiles, the resulting build crashes on startup, but it does not when we build it for windows from a windows machine.

lokinet gui should be buildable for arm linux.
we can probably do this and we can add it to ci too.

This is how the GUI is appearing on my screen:

Notice that the bottom part of the GUI is not appearing, the app is not displayed well vertically. I tried resizing the window but in vain.

We need a space where we can save our exit nodes and easily connect to them

The current .deb has a dependency on gconf2 and gconf-service, which are no longer available on the latest Debian (sid) or Ubuntu (23.10), and as such the package is uninstallable.

I'm guessing this needs an updated package somewhere in the electron build.

The GUI spams the output of "redux state at updateFromDaemonStatus2" in the log. Leading to this:

As it can be inferred from the log, the version of lokinet is 0.9.10-release and that of the GUI is 1.0.0

Tested multiple PCs and get the same result. Others in public Lokinet chat in Session have similar problems.

After I start lokinet GUI and click connect, nothing happens.

Below is error log.

IPC channel job xxx: getSummaryStatus timed out after 1000ms 
yyy: redux state at markAsStoppedFromSummaryTimedOut2: "{"exitTurningOn":false,"exitTurningOff":false,"daemonIsTurningOn":false,"daemonIsTurningOff":false,"initialDaemonStartDone":true}" 

as seen in #30 the ux for the lokinet gui with defaults needs a bit of work.

this may be better as a discussion thread instead.

as a temp workaround for lokinet's wire protocol handshake race condition, we should restart lokinet if we have 0 nodes in our node db and/or zero non bootstrap peers after N seconds of uptime.

also, make the gui show it is "starting up" until we have paths built.

right now, lokinet itself doesn't have a good way to persist settings.
until then maybe we should have the gui store these until we do.

Linking a potential concern that was brought up in Pi-Apps.
