Flatpak Version: Additional Permissions for some Features

Flatpak Version: Additional Permissions for some Features

By default, Flatpak runs apps in a sandbox, preventing ACBR from seeing the real system stats when it tries to show some information about the battery level, memory and cpu usage... I could add the necessary permissions by default, but I try to restrict them as much as I can and let the user decide which one to grant for these type of features that are not a core part of the program.

1. System Monitor

If the system monitor shows inaccurate data or a warning icon:

Using Flatseal (GUI)

1. Open Flatseal and select ACBR.
2. Scroll down to Session Bus and find the Talk section.
3. Click the + button and add: org.freedesktop.Flatpak
4. Restart ACBR.

Using the Terminal (CLI)

Run this command:

flatpak override --user --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak com.binarynonsense.acbr

---

2. Accurate Battery Indicator

If the battery indicator always shows 100%, no matter what the real level is (I haven't tested this one yet):.

Using Flatseal (GUI)

1. Open Flatseal and select ACBR.
2. Scroll down to the Device section.
3. Enable the All devices toggle.
4. Restart ACBR.

Using the Terminal (CLI)

Run this command:

flatpak override --user --device=all com.binarynonsense.acbr

---

How to remove these permissions

If you want to go back to the default settings or undo these changes:

Using the Terminal (CLI)

Run the reset command to wipe all manual overrides:

flatpak override --user --reset com.binarynonsense.acbr

Using Flatseal (GUI)

1. Open Flatseal and select ACBR.
2. Click the Reset button at the top right corner of the window.
