3 years ago This seems to be an impediment of the desktop environment's display manager, rather than openfortigui.
Although my environment between Debian 9 & 10 was identical, presumably some added "security policies" crippled some comforts.
I was experimenting with Plasma over the weekend and set SDDM as my default display manager and now, even if logging into Gnome I am asked to sign into the keychain upon entry.
When just using Gnome, I was only prompt for keychain signin when utilizing an app that needed something from it. (Not sure if this is any positive effect)
Perhaps the problem is moreso GDM/Gnome Display Manager than anything else, as that's really the only variable that changed. Gnome display was slightly buggy from a UX standpoint (not counting openfortigui) since upgrading to Debian 10.
With SDDM as default, even when in the Gnome environment, the openfortigui applet is responsive.
Just posting back incase anyone else runs into this!
In Debian stretch, the openfortigui task icon applet was always accessible.
In Debian buster, it is not.
For example:
I am not certain if this is specifically related to openforigui or just a wayland problem (I don't have any other apps with applets that require elevated permissions).
Has anyone else run into this? I presume the status has a path to the applet that simply needs to be elevated in
visudo, but I'm unsure of what it might be.openfortigui otherwise works perfectly otherwise, this is less a usability issue and moreso a lazy-person accessibility issue.
