Yeah, I was hoping that there would be a repository for the applet code by now, but thats not the case. > An upstream bug: > https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard/issues/334 > > mentions e.g.: > https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome > and > https://github.com/Cropi/usbguard-notifier > > but for the later I'm not sure whether it supports > allowing/blocking/rejecting devices or just sends notifications via > libnotify. Yes, I've looked at both of them a couple of month ago and even started packaging them, but at that time both seemed not ready for a package. usbguard-notifier apparently made a release in December, so I'll take another look at that. usbguard-gnome on the other hand seems stalled and does not work with the current version of usbguard: https://github.com/6E006B/usbguard-gnome/issues/16 I'm also not sure how stable usbguards interface is, but there is also the Gnome desktop integration, which apparently will be released with Gnome 3.36 in March (I know thats not a solution if one doesn't use Gnome). cheers, Birger
