USBGuard Interface Tab

[tanay1337]

Feel free to close the feature request if it is out of scope of the project.

A good interface for USBGuard would be useful. It would be cool to have a tab to list connected devices and be able to allow/decline connections, list the rules, etc.

I believe it would make more sense to implement it using the proposal from #51.

[tanay1337]

Fair. Wouldn't make much sense for folks if they don't use this.

Came here to share this, in case its helpful for implementation: https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome

Also, should this issue be reopened?

[tanay1337]

@FelipeFMA also found a working implementation here: https://github.com/marco-nicola/usbguard-simple-gui-py-qt/blob/master/usbguard_simple_gui_py_qt/usbguard_dbus_interface.py

I’ll take a look, but to be honest, I’m not really into it

[tanay1337]

I think USBGuard is an important security tool for many distros. So far, I haven't found a good UI for it that works and I feel it fits in the idea of the control panel where you can allow/block any connected devices. I am also happy to contribute if someone can help me with the GTK side of things 😅

[FelipeFMA]

If someone could help me with this, I’d really appreciate it

im working on it and will be added to the app soon :)

@tanay1337 It has been implemented , still under development but its out for testing

[tanay1337]

Thanks a lot @quantumvoid0! Wouldn't it make more sense to call the polkit agent when running the USBGuard tab/actions instead of adding the current user to the USBGuard group?

i have been experimenting with various methods to implement this but none really worked and to me only adding manually worked , i could automate the script inside the app for easier use if thats okay , do you have any ideas to actually make a polkit work?

[quantumvoid0]

For now i have fixed the bugs related to language and settings tab not showing usbguard , ill check on the polkit stuff later , i have to be somewhere rn
