Lightmorphic Flow 0.5.3

Beta.

A firewall was stopping the computers finding each other

Flow needs two ports: 24810 over TCP for the mouse, keyboard and clipboard, and 24811 over UDP so the machines can announce themselves. A firewall blocks both by default and says nothing at all, so the settings window just sat there saying nothing found on this network yet, with no hint as to why.

• The window now notices a firewall is running while nothing has been found, says so plainly, and has a button that opens exactly those two ports after asking for your password.
• Both packages ship a ufw profile and a firewalld service describing the ports. Neither opens anything on its own.
• lmflow doctor reports the firewall and the command to type.

By hand:

sudo ufw allow Lightmorphic-Flow
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=lightmorphic-flow && sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Installing

sudo apt install ./lightmorphic-flow_0.5.3_all.deb
