We're not using KDE anymore and sdwdate-gui is enabled by default.

This was done. If not, please create specific tickets where it isn't done.

Onionshare is in Buster.

Yes, please.

I see. So without these variables set, ricochet tries to to start its
own Tor client?

Yes exactly !

Any idea why that is required?

Yes, ricochet is looking if a control port is defined in the config file or in
the environment.
If a control port is defined, ricochet will not launch tor and will directly
connect to the control host.

Any idea why that is required?

The only thing missing is to set environment variable TOR_CONTROL_PORT=9151 and TOR_CONTROL_HOST="127.0.0.1".
That's all :).

This ticket is in status "needs review". Meaning, implementation is
done, but should be tested in next build.

This status is confusing and for ticket changes we'll be using
testing-in-next-build-required as status.

So the only remaining work here before you started working on this
ticket was:
Do the instructions in the wiki work as is? If yes, the ticket is done.

I think I misunderstood something.

I think I misunderstood something.
I thought that the goal was to not use EXTERNAL_OPEN_ALL=true and just open one port on the workstation firewall.

Oh, my bad...

Probably a manual config is required because otherwise
localListenAddress is set to localhost.

Manual config is not how it is supposed to work. It worked before

Yes exactly, and also to set the localListenPort.

Oh, my bad...

So here are all the steps to make ricochet working :

Open Ricochet and close it (it will create all the config files and folders).
Then edit : *$HOME/.local/share/Ricochet/ricochet.anondist-orig/ricochet.json* :

{

"identity": {
    "dataDirectory": "data-0",
    "localListenAddress": "10.152.152.11",
    "localListenPort": 12345
},
"tor": {
    "controlAddress": "127.0.0.1",
    "controlPort": 9151,
    "socksAddress": "127.0.0.1",
    "socksPort": 9050
},
"ui": {
    "combinedChatWindow": true,
    "language": "",
    "notificationVolume": 0.75
}

}

So here are all the steps to make ricochet working :

I got Ricochet properly working.
I had some troubles with onion-grater which filtered commands needed by Ricochet.
Even with the config file provided in example :
https://github.com/Whonix/onion-grater/blob/master/usr/share/onion-grater-merger/examples/40_ricochet.yml

Tested in VirtualBox and Qubes-Whonix using 13-14 upgraded templates.
Confirmed ships with dirmsgr and /etc/thunderbird/pref/30_whonix.js and /etc/skel/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf as per spec.

I mean, how do you build the deb package?

There's no build commands, LookNFeel packages are just directory structures that can be packaged as compressed archives and get put into the right paths to be picked up by the system.

What command do you use to build https://github.com/netrunner-artwork/artwork-lnf-netrunner-core?

Yep, you can name your own LnF package anything. You could also patch/extend the default one in packaging if you prefer.

Thanks @hein! We don't have to use org.kde.netrunner-core.desktop in path name? Can be anything?

Hi folks,

@matvey90 It does not work yet.

It's also not on the workstation.
