I do also encounter UI freezes from time to time (once a day seems accurate and NOT during calls). My workaround is the Powermenu2 app in combination with a launcher I created, which basically restarts the lipstick UI. So when the screen is 'on' I can simply 'long press' the power button and lipstick will restart.

Install Powermenu2 from from openrepos.net. 2.0.1.11 Taalojärvi users like me need version 1.0.7-1 (https://openrepos.net/sites/default/...-1.armv7hl.rpm)

I use the nano editor ...

Code:

devel-su pkcon install nano

Create the launcher file

Code:

nano .local/share/applications/liprestart.desktop

Content of liprestart.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Run LipRestart
Icon=icon-launcher-component-gallery
Exec=/home/nemo/.local/scripts/liprestart.sh
Comment=Terminal application

Create the 'scripts' directory

Code:

mkdir .local/scripts

Create a file liprestart.sh

Code:

nano .local/scripts/liprestart.sh

Content of liprestart.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
systemctl --user restart lipstick

Make it liprestart.sh executable

Code:

chmod +x .local/scripts/liprestart.sh

In the Powermenu2 app, you can now bind 'event3' to the launcher you created and bind the 'long press (display on)' option to 'event3'.
