connman-gtk's Issues

Prevent opening new instances if old one is still running

Add a command line switch / configuration option for straight to tray

French translation ready

Hello,
I have a problem with the two factor authentication on github.
I can't do a push and pull request due to this error:

Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.

Then please use this two file for the French translation

Update README.md with launch options

Support WPS (pin / push-button)

No tray icon with stalone tray

Hi,

Even build with the "--enable-status-icon=yes" option, there is no tray icon displayed with Stalonetray.

Support the P2P Agent api

Tray icon?

This would make it much more usable outside of GNOME.

Add support for creating service / VPN provider files

This requires support from connmand's end, either receiving the configuration folder (/var/lib) or a 'create configuration' dbus method. The former would be more relaxed but requires write permissions, while the latter would be less permissive but also requires only dbus permissions.

Settings schema 'net.connman.gtk' is not installed

Got this error upon running connman-gtk after building and installing with no issues on Alpine Linux. Any help is appreciated.

(connman-gtk:24907): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

(connman-gtk:24907): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'net.connman.gtk' is not installed

P2P should be handled using the peers api

Sort the services sensibly in the status icon list

Unable to close window when opened in a tiling window manager

I'm running connman-gtk under bspwm, so the window titlebar is not shown and therefore I can't close the application window that way. In other applications (such as wicd-gtk) I can just ctrl-Q or ctrl-W, but that doesn't seem to work here. I'm not sure if this is a GTK thing or if those keys need to be explicitly mapped in the application. Currently I have to manually kill the process in order to close any window in the application.

Any idea what to do here?

gtk2 version?

Is it possible there could be an optional gtk2 version of connman-gtk? I personally much prefer how gtk2 looks and additionally all my favorite themes are gtk2 only so while your program is useful, it will never look right for me...

Add settings for the app itself

There are runtime features that should be configurable, eg. the upcoming status icon, openconnect related things not coming from connmand...

Add support for DBus autostarting

DBus starting would provide support for the related connman gnome extension for easier VPN connecting. It would do also other minor improvements such as persistent notification support (though notifications aren't used yet).

Create man page

Abstract functionality to a library

This would allow things like the related extension to use a common translation base, the OpenConnect helper...

Manual proxy settings do not work

Might be related to newer GTK versions.

Support for creating VPN providers

Hi,

Can you support OpenVPN connection from the UI ? And other VPN supported by connman ?

Main UI doesn't update favourite status when removing configuration

Show wireless APs out or range at the bottom of list if they have a config saved

Maybe with a setting or something. It'd be useful for configuring network settings when they're out of range.

add openvpn support.

add openvpn support for importing
.ovpn config file and connecting to vpn using username and password.

WPA2 Enterprise support

Hey,
it would be very usefull to support WPA2 Enterprise authentication method. Like a dialog asking for username and password.
Otherwise, connections to eduroam or university networks have to be configured manually :(

Best regards, Jonas

Some questions.

What do you think about:

1. Implementing StatusNotifier (no dependencies, except gdbus-codegen, which is bundled with GLib)
2. Bumping required GTK version to GTK3.18 (or 3.22)
3. Replacing GtkNotebook to GtkStack
4. Adding .clang-format file to easier styling new code

Wired and Wireless tray icon are same?

When I connect my AP with my laptop,the tray icon is no drifferent with wired，This will give users cause some problems，I using Archlinux+xfce4，and the tray icon is not very nice.
Thanks.

Status icon shows technologies as empty menus

The technologies should either be shown grayed out, or hidden.

Refactor code to use the GObject api more

Many parts of the code could be a lot clearer with the GObject api (technologies, services).

Adding translation

Hello there,

First of all I am not sure if it's the right place to post my question but I was recently working on Polish translation.

I have the .po and .mo files. I have added .mo file into usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/ as connman-gtk.mo

When I list the files of connman (on archlinux: pacman -Ql connman-gtk) it doesn't show my added translation.

I have LC_MESSAGES set into polish, all other apps are in polish language but the connman seems like not seeing it. I am sharing both files here for the community although those were not yet tested.

Open in wireless tab (optionally or by default)

Currently laptops are predominant and wireless is far more common than wired. But connman-gtk always opens in wired tab and the user has to switch views. Why not changing the initial view to wireless? If you don't like that as a default, could you add a command line option to set the initial view? (or at least a toggle to show wireless first).

Update tray icon based on connection status

Technologies other than ethernet,wifi should have a scan button

Launch to tray not working

Hi,
When launching connman-gtk --tray, the program is not launching directly to the tray and bring the UI up
