Is there a chance that GUFW will be pre-installed in Ubuntu 25.10 or 26.04, or perhaps the Firewall GUI management functionality will be taken over by Desktop Security Center?

hi @didrocks - i tried the latest daily build again and ran into the same issue. works fine on LTS and 25.04
One of the nice things about Mission Center is access to smartctl statistics on drives … but the snap version does not allow this (last time I tried).

You might need
sudo snap connect mission-center:udisks2
(Or use the GUI to connect the udisks2 interface as you like, it does not auto-connect by default)
Can you share your daily build version your used? It shouldn’t be an issue with current images. Please try with latest and file a bug on launchpad against snapd so that we can track it!
It looks like Ubuntu Desktop 25.10 is going to have some nice improvements. I would like to see Ubuntu add auto light/dark mode option so users do not have to manually toggle them on and off in settings since some people like light mode theme on in the daytime and dark mode them on at night.
After testing around with it today on my laptop I do have the following suggestions that could easy the transition for new comers. Other than that this build is turning out amazing.
Add a New Document → New-Text.txt to the gnome right click context menu for the file manager.
Add an additional file at New Document → Readme.txt that contains a quick guide on how to add addition custom entries to that section.
Prompt for a restart after changing to a new gpu driver in the settings gui.
Add Heroic Games Launcher to the game launcher section in the app center. Not sure how complicated that process is but it’s a really good piece of software alternative to epic games, gog, and amazon prime Windows launchers. Rocket League for example is click and play easy through this launcher.
I’ve tested on builds from July 11 and July 15. One on an AMD CPU only device (the Lenovo I mentioned) and another on an Intel 11th gen i9 + RTX 3060 laptop. Both had the same issue but tpm backed disk encryption works for previous ubuntu versions on these devices and even with systemd-cryptenroll.
I will raise a bug on launchpad tonight.
