can't get network statistics window (add global hotkey to launch the events window) #193

Open OSS542 opened 6 years ago

OSS542 commented 6 years ago

I can't seem to find how to get a "network statistics" window to appear. The opensnitchd daemon appears to run correctly as root, and opensnitch-ui also appears to run correctly. There are no errors in the logs, and the connection block/allow dialog appears and works correctly. Is there a seperate executable to be run to obtain "network statistics ?

Looks like that happens here

sni-qt is apparently supposed to bridge the QSystemTrayIcon to a message tray icon appropriate for GNOME's message center (I'm assuming you're using GNOME like me; I also cannot view the stats window.) Maybe something changed with GNOME, and the icon is no longer able to be put where it belongs. I know that they removed that little icon bar on the bottom left; I'm not sure if that's where it would have went.

Actually, I don't use a desktop at all. The linux system I am using is a custom design of my own and is built entirely from source code. It's much faster for me to use than a desktop. It uses the i3 tiling window manager under Xorg displayed across multiple monitors. I was hoping that there was some way of invoking the stats display which did not depend on using a desktop.

Agreed, I would like a global hotkey or something like that to invoke the stats dialog. I'm not sure at this time how Qt plays with your specific WM, or if hotkeys (however they may be implemented in Qt) will work across all DEs or WMs.

I see this was closed. What was the reason ?

Global hotkeys wouldn't generally work in Wayland-based environments anyway. The UI should be reworked to make possible launching certain windows via command line flags of opensnitch-ui or dedicated utilities, instead of Windoze-way approach of making all the control dependent on a tray icon, especially according the fact how diversely and unreliably do the tray icons work among GNU/Linux graphical environments.

Add global hotkey or add a terminal command to launch statistics window like opensnitch-stats or something similar.
