Need to register often

Post by snapper » Thu Aug 10, 2017 7:54 am

Not sure if this is normal but I need to fill in my mail address at the start of PSS often. I guess about every 5 times starting the program, so sometimes I need to to register at start every few days.

Using Ubuntu 16.04. BTW thanks for bringing PSS to Linux, it works so smooth!!

Try to disable internet access to Paintstorm after the registration complete. (firewall or other defence software)

After registration install firejail and make a shortcut with "firejail --noprofile --net=none /usr/share/paintstorm/Paintstorm" as executable. It works for me. ;)

Thanks for the tip, I'll try this.

The "disable internet access..." trick didn't work. Maybe it means to always disable internet access when using PSS, would be a funny thing to do.
I made a desktop file now with firejail command. I suppose this command blocks PSS internet access?

Yes, firejail always blocks the PSS connections. Click on other->help in PSS to test firejail. The browser shouldn't work because the child process is blocked as well.

I tried this but get error:
** (Paintstorm:2): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus: Connection refused


Then it fails to load...

Actually, not matter what I try the parent shuts down right away. Even if I allow network. firejail --noprofile /usr/share/paintstorm/Paintstorm

It's a common apparmor bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1373070
Please, use "--protocol=unix” instead of “--net=none”. The effect will be the same disabling ipv4 and ipv6.

So the command should be:
"firejail --noprofile --protocol=unix /usr/share/paintstorm/Paintstorm"
