[Freedombox-discuss] firewalld update

Hi Joseph,
most functions are working now - and I have no idea why. DefaultZone is
set to the packagers value "public", but this should have no influence
as the packages have defined zones.I realized I have to access the box
now with "freedombox" in the browser instead of "freedombox.local". I
do not know which update caused that change.
The only thing not working is Quassel. In QuasselDroid it got stuck at
"SSL handshake" and on the desktop it just would not work.I deactivated
it in Plinth, then removed and purged it with apt (in order to get rid
of the conf files). Now I am trying to re-install it with apt which
terminates with
> Generating SSL certificate as /var/lib/quassel/quasselCert.pem ...
> su: Berechtigung verweigert
The last phrase means "access denied". This reminds me of the initial
issue with  getting stuck at "SSL handshake". That's where I am now.
