It seems it lost its transparency on my Xfce desktop. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem? Or is it Xfce's fault? They had a big update recently that broke things.

@hexchain: See the open issue and here for the autostart entry.

It seems that the .desktop file and the xdg autostart entry are gone.

This now requires python-croniter.

About the problem rusio have mentioned, the owner of the repository commented

https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/issues/304#issuecomment-557956477

in the corresponding issue. Does it eliminate the concerns?

I think it does. We should install safeeyes-git from AUR (as safeeyes does not contain the corresponding commit yet), and then deselect "Use RPC server ..." from UI or set "use_rpc_server" to false in ~/.config/safeeyes/safeeyes.json.

After python 3.8 this version stoped working with this message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/safeeyes", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3251, in <module> def _initialize_master_working_set(): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3234, in _call_aside f(args, *kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3263, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 583, in _build_master ws.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 900, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 786, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'safeeyes==2.0.9' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Rebuild didnt help, but git package works great.

I recently installed the package and after some routine activity on my PC with nmap scanning I discovered it was running an HTTP server on open port 7200. This is highly suspicious.

EDIT. I discovered that the programmer is aware of the issue, but has no plan to change it. If you continue using the application and trust the source you should block TCP 7200 in your Firewall at least. I myself have removed the application.

The package needs to be rebuilt, otherwise this happens:

$ safeeyes

python-setuptools must be added in depends().
