I've added a jammy test plan. ** Description changed:
The malcontent package today doesn't really work as a user would expect in Ubuntu. Known issues today: * Only allows blocking flatpak apps * Allow/Deny app installation only effects user installable flatpaks via GNOME Software, which isn't included in Ubuntu. On a default Ubuntu Desktop installation enabling/disabling software installation has no effect. [ Impact ] * Ubuntu patches applied enable filter any app installed on the system * Hides the UI for enabling/disabling app installation as that switch doesn't actually do what a user would expect on Ubuntu * Removes documentation related to the software installation UI - [ Test Plan ] + [ Test Plan: Noble ] * Ensure gnome-control-center >= 1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 is installed * Add a new non-admin user with gnome-control-center * Selecting "Parental Controls" in the UI after creating the new account should open the malcontent-control dialog + * Click unlock and enter your password to allow updating the app filter + * The dialog should only show two entries under "Application Usage + Restrictions", "Restrict Web Browsers" and "Restrict Applications" + * Select "Restrict Applications" should open a dialog showing all apps + * Toggle the switch for an app and close the dialog + * Login to a user session with the restricted user account and confirm the + application icon isn't show in the GNOME app grid + + [ Test Plan: Jammy ] + + * Add a new non-admin user with gnome-control-center + * run 'malcontent-control' in a terminal * Click unlock and enter your password to allow updating the app filter * The dialog should only show two entries under "Application Usage Restrictions", "Restrict Web Browsers" and "Restrict Applications" * Select "Restrict Applications" should open a dialog showing all apps * Toggle the switch for an app and close the dialog * Login to a user session with the restricted user account and confirm the application icon isn't show in the GNOME app grid [ Regression Potential ] * Very low, malcontent isn't included in Ubuntu by default, and even if it was installed, it wasn't accessible from gnome-control-center as that was disabled until the SRU of gnome-control-center=1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 * malcontent-control was accessible from the command line, but would only allow filtering flatpak apps that included X-Parental-Control in the desktop file -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to malcontent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077641 Title: Doesn't allow filtering all installed applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/malcontent/+bug/2077641/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
