Custom dns

[Abscissa24]

Summary

Added an easier way to change DNS on the fly

NOTE: Idk why set-dns.py is not running after:

Before

After

Changes

Added set-dns.py script that:

• Reads dashboard.customDNS from the user settings.
• Detects the active network connection using nmcli.
• Prompts for Wi-Fi password if missing, ensuring the connection can be updated.
• Sets the custom DNS and disables automatic DNS resolution.
• Reactivates the connection to apply changes immediately.
• Prints the updated DNS configuration for verification.

Notes

• I tried adding a button to apply the settings by executing the script. It did not work. Idk why.
• I also tried adding a switch to toggle the script when switched on. also didnt work.

Usage

1. Open Settings > Privacy
2. Enter the DNS Address
3. Run: python /usr/share/sleex/scripts/set-dns.py

Demo

• This is me changing the DNS as a demonstration

Remove these comments plz

[LeVraiArdox]

You shouldn't remove that. This makes the whole switch+label clickable, instead of just the switch.

looks AI generated, is it the case ?

[Abscissa24]

yeah

I made set-dns.sh

But I didn't know how to execute it from the .qml file

So I shoved the set-dns.sh in AI and converted it to set-dns.py

Then used the similar format from /usr/share/sleex/modules/dashboard/quickToggles/IdleInhibitor.qml

but idk why it still isn't working

[LeVraiArdox]

So it doesn't works ? In that case open the PR as draft and request a review when it's working

[Abscissa24]

The script itself works
Just how to toggle from within settings is the issue
I'll draft now
