@vivia.nikolaidou Excellent question. I suggest you upload it directly to mentors.debian.net - that way you follow the process "just like" a regular contributor. I can comment on the package there.
Given that my package is essentially ready, do you need to check it first before I upload it there? If so, which files do you need to see?
Yes, that Purism Forums entry was mine. I am having the same issue that you are having.

Ah, I should have guessed. Thanks!
This bug is exclusive to VirtualBox, for some reason VBox doesn't play nice with Wayland which leads to GDM having trouble.
It's on my todo list to look into this already.
Just learning the ropes, is there somewhere else I should have filed this? I also couldn't find the issue elsewhere.
Maybe the same problem? --> https://tracker.pureos.net/T520
Very good ideas. Indeed, I believe there is already a ticket regarding this but I can't find it right this second... feel free to create another. :)
Thanks @chris.lamb ! Is this anywhere in documentation? Also, in my opinion (I know it's a beta) the user should just be dropped into the desktop session. This will be a barrier for people I recommend PureOS to, and I have handed out a lot of LiveUSB keys at workshops with a wide variety of users.
Hi @seandiggity. Try pureos with no password. :)
Thanks. I have subscribed to this bug.
Thanks a lot! I reported it here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904702
FYI. This is not fixed by any updates this month, including the Linux 4.17.0-1 image update on 7/26.

[Assinging ticket back]
Still to do: check if the ping URL is configurable (and log an issue if it isn't)
Pings the URL http://network-test.debian.org/nm to test connectivity. Would https://www.debian.org/something be a better target? This would be protected from tampering, and indistinguishable from any other Debian website address.
Tested PureBrowser 52.9.0 with a fresh profile per https://tracker.pureos.net/T524 . Immediately visible issues (screenshot below):
Is this a duplicate of https://tracker.pureos.net/T202 ?

You can create a fresh profile, launch PureBrowser and then delete the profile:

This issue should be fixed by now (since 52.9.0esr-1pureos2 released to landing on July 6th).
I am also experiencing the drain issue. However, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and seeing:
@chris.lamb @francois Actually, I already resynchronized systemd with Debian, so this issue should actually be gone now.
Can someone else maybe verify that it's gone as well (a quick test in my VM didn't result in that issue).
I saw the older version in the repos, that's why I thought that's what was installed. Sorry for that.
@SheepKid12 regarding the PureBrowser version, I get:

On the browser case, it would be great if you compare the about:config between firefox (the based version) and purebrowser. On many firefox forks related with privacy and security (like tor browser) about:config have a lot of changes or some of them like disable location services, referer or website fonts, etc.
PureOS 8 is still in beta state. Maybe, the developers will add some features later.
I've also noticed firefox esr 46, which is out of date compared to esr 52 and 60.
Ah. That bit was unclear. :p
I'm expecting no notification, since it shouldn't happen while i'm actively using the computer :)
What are you expecting instead?
Oh neat. (But would we not get that patch/change if we just merged systemd?)
If we fix the underlying issue all users logged into a GNOME session will be in the KVM group and no additional work is necessay, it works out of the box (as users would expect). Just pull this systemd patch into PureOS:
Jul 22 2018
Jumping somewhat to a reasoned conclusion, given that the security for the most-common devices in/around the free software ecosystem (ie. Thinkpads) do not provide much security there has been a correspeonding lack of activity and effort put into the software.
The thing is that we plan to make PureOS target the average user so most of the time there will be no system administrator but only people who don't know what a terminal or a command line is. We cannot exclude this type of people who are the ones that currently have no access to software freedom by not being technical enough.
What we need to determine is if it is "doable" under Gnome/Debian with a reasonable level of security on par with iOS, Android and Windows (as examples).
Jul 21 2018
As promised, I did a bit of research into these. The general consensus is that fingerprint readers are essentially insecure devices that give a false sense of security.
In T486#8954, @mladen.pejakovic wrote:Yes, there was a typo. :)
So, I have a UK device and am not seeing this subsequent remapping. What, exactly, should I be looking for?
Sorry, I just realized I never replied: L15 is not affected, and only OSes with latest systemd are affected.
Fixed in https://source.puri.sm/pureos/core/pureos-meta/commit/d5c4459a71290fa0b0570e0d76b6b272d9fcf6f5
@zlatan.todoric Sorry for the late reply. As I am about to depart for Debconf, I can't really comment on the issue, but I can provide pictures of the chip I got from ThinkPenguin, which pretty much was exactly the same type that was already built into my Librem device:
Thanks for reeporting. Don't know how this slipped through.

Problem is we can't "just" add every new user created on the system to the kvm group.
Not sure what you mean with "filename information", but support for adding a GPG signature is on my todo list already.
With "Emoji font" you mean fonts-noto-color-emoji in particular, right?
Since we already ship a great deal of the Noto fonts for language/script compatibility, adding the Emoji font too would make some sense.
- Download the latest Twemoji/eosrei release from https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font/releases (in zip format)
- Extract TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT.ttf
- Delete /usr/lib/purebrowser/fonts/EmojiOneMozilla.ttf
- Copy TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT.ttf into that folder
Another option for a complete and regularly updated color emoji set is twemoji. It is not yet packaged for Debian afaik:
Note that this lead to strange emoji rendering in PureBrowser: https://tracker.pureos.net/T437
thx

Hi all, just to clarify some things:
Will users from previous versions need to add his user to the kvm group or will you implement a package with scripts to make necessary changes (if it is possible)?
I like this idea.
OK sorry for the misunderstanding.
Thank you @jonas.smedegaard !
I guess Chris' point was that you could close the issue yourself.
Users that are not part of the kvm group get an error message when starting Boxes that asks them to manually add themselves to the group.
Yes, you can close the issue.
Jul 18 2018
@francois Thanks. Shall we close this one up then? :)
(IIRC my question around adduser.conf was to ensure new users had it, but not sure)
@chris.lamb Not sure if I get the question.. /etc/adduser.conf would need to be adjusted, as adduser is used by accountsservice in Debian.
New users created by Calamares are added to the kvm group, but not ones created by adduser/the OEM setup.
I was sawing apps installed some time ago after the upgrade and i saw that timidity (one of them) was running a daemon that i thought it could block the sound input and output, i uninstalled it and after reboot, externals speakers and microphone were detected.
Yeah, name is showed again after reboot.
