[SOLVED] ufw KDE frontend doesn't run

[ess82]

Hey guys, didn't need to edit FW rules for some time, I do now, but the kcm-ufw doesn't run. It appears in app launcher when I search for it, but clicking on it doesn't do nothing. Also can't find it in the app laucher manually, only via the search box.
UFW works well from the CLI, but I still would like to have the front-end back. Also reinstalling the module didn't help.

Last few lines from system log when tried to launch the module:

Code: Select all

any suggestions?

replace ufw with firewalld? the main benefit is that it is highly integrated with network manager so you can manage it with nm-applet.

[ess82]

does that mean that I'll need to re-create all rules? or are they stored in iptables?

[kurotsugi]

I'm using the default rules so I'm not quite sure about it. you can create a backup for your setting just in case.

I have the same problem, but the GUI works from systemsettings.
I'll take a look at the launcher.

[Arjen Balfoort]

I saw that kcm-ufw entered Debian experimental: https://packages.debian.org/experimenta ... w/download
I only had to change the version (0.4.3-1 to 0.4.3-3) and update the evolvere icon theme (for the nightly builds).

If this issue is considered solved, please add "[SOLVED]" to the OP's subject.
