Bug Description

I have some issues with the lists, as the textfields appear very small in GUFW. I can only read 2 lines at a time in the "Log" section and I can barely read 1 single line at a time in the "Rules" and "Listening Report" sections. I've tried resizing the window, but it didn't make any difference. I've included a screenshot of what my GUFW looks like. Also (I don't know if this is intended behaviour, but it doesn't look like so to me), when creating a new rule I can't set the direction or logging for the rule to apply to. I can edit the rule afterwards and only then change the direction and logging options.

Hi Robert,
Was it a Gufwn upgrade? a fresh install?
Which version of Gufw? Which version of Ubuntu/other OS?

Could you try this in a Terminal:
sudo apt-get purge gufw
sudo rm -r /etc/gufw
sudo apt-get install gufw

And report the result :)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Costales,
Thanks for your response. It was a fresh install on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit (GUWF 14.04.1-0ubuntu1), however, I've experienced the same issues on a live boot Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.
I've reinstalled the application as you suggested, but the issue persists.
Thank you for your time.

Uhm...
Could you tell me the result of this command?
sudo find /usr -name "gufw.ui"
And attach me that file? :)
Thanks in advance Robert!

For example in my case:
sudo find /usr -name "gufw.ui"
/usr/share/gufw/ui/gufw.ui

The result will be:
sudo find /usr -name "gufw.ui"
/usr/share/gufw/ui/gufw.ui

And send the file /usr/share/gufw/ui/gufw.ui as attachment on this bug :)

Hi Costales,

The result is exactly the same as your example. I've included the file as you requested.
Thank you for your time.

I'm so sorry, but I haven't a 64-bit machine.
Please, could you confirm me if the bug persist in a live boot of 32 bits?

Tested a live Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit on the same machine, both GUFW version 13 and 14 are working as expected (with the larger text-fields).

:O Gufw has the same package/code for 32 and 64 bits :P
Please, can anyone give us any clues?
I have to find a 64bits laptop.
@Robert: I'll tell you in a short time. Thanks for all your tests!

@Robert: I'll download now an ISO. Just one info: This bug is in both Ubuntu 13.10 & Ubuntu 14.10 Live 64 bits, right?

Sorry, I meant Ubuntu 14.04 ;) I prefer 13.10 because the 14.04 is a beta yet.

Yeah, it's the same thing with both versions, though only on 64-bit. Live boot with no additional packages. Please just let me know if there's anything I can do to help. :)

I just tried in Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits (fresh install). All it's OK :O

Thanks Robert for your feedback, but I'm thinking you have something wrong :O

There are more users with this issue in Ubuntu 14.04. I think is because it's a beta. I set as Triaged by the moment. Best regards!

If it needs rebuilt from source to fix this can you send me a link to your
package so I can see if it makes a difference. Web site for program only
gives link to download from Ubuntu's software center which doesn't do me
any good. Incidentally many of us hate and never use that software
center... would rather have the .deb to install with gdebi, symantic, build
from source or just use aptget or aptitude. But thank you so much for your
time and effort anyway.

@thecure Hi! The bug has to be in this file:

Haven't done any programming for a good 20 years and so my opinion really
doesn't count for anything but would a Table with a Scrollbar be of better
use than a ScrolledWindow for uniformity or am I just an idiot? (Which is
very possible.) I didn't really see any attributes available to
ScrolledWindow to make them visually all uniform.

That being said I after purging gufw from my system and reinstalling from
gui-ufw-14.04.1.tar.gz I get the following errors but still runs,
appearance the same and functional.

Writing /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gufw-14.04.2-py2.7.egg-info

Thanks for excusing my ignorance in advance

I'm not sure. I think a scrolledWindow is better. I'll think on it!

There are the expand attributes ;)

Don't worry about them :)

Thanks for your prompt reply. It's been a long time since I've done any
coding. Wife made me stop. I get too consumed in it.

Hi! Could you test the last code?
You need to remove Gufw and install it from the code. Try with this command in 14.04:
sudo apt-get purge gufw ; sudo apt-get install ufw python-netifaces gir1.2-webkit-3.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic policykit-1 python-distutils-extra bzr ; bzr branch lp:gui-ufw ; cd gui-ufw ; sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr ; sudo gufw
Thanks in advance! :D
