fwbuilder does not show a window

[Juho Rutila]

Binary package hint: fwbuilder

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
FWBuilder worked almost fine after upgrade from intrepid. However, now it doesn't work when I try to run
the FWBuilder. I even reinstalled it with apt, and even tried compiled 3.0.4. This is what happens:

fwbuilder starts, but no window pops up. Here is the output when running with -d:

Command line: argc=2

fwbuilder is still running (checked with ps).

Version of the fwbuilder related packages:
fwbuilder 3.0.2-1
fwbuilder-common 3.0.2-1
fwbuilder-linux 3.0.2-1
libfwbuilder7 2.1.19-1
libfwbuilder8 3.0.2-1

qt4 version is 4.5.0-0ubuntu4.

I can provide more information if you tell what's needed.

I am testing v3.0.4 on Jaunty server and can not reproduce this problem, the GUI just starts as usual.

I do not like it that you have both libfwbuilder7 and libfwbuilder8 on the machine, could you ensure versions of libfwbuilder and fwbuilder are coordinated?

Recently I had report of a problem that vaguely seems similar. Please deinstall libfwbuilder7 and try to run the program under strace and post the last portion of the output when it hangs.

I do not think any changes made between 3.0.2 and 3.0.4 could have caused this problem, so lets try this with 3.0.2 first. It would be helpful though if you could try both 3.0.2 and 3.0.4 if it is not too much trouble.

Command is

strace fwbuilder

Also, I've built binary packages of the latest development build for Jaunty, you can download them here:

Well, running Complete Removal (it was in "rc" status in dpkg -l listing) for libfwbuilder7 solved this issue.

Now the only problem is that Ruleset is not shown.
I imported older firewall-file and compiling it reveals that all the rules are there, they're not just shown (see attachment). Even adding a rule to empty set doesn't show anything.
Maybe I should ask this thing in some kind of mailing list or open new bug (if it's a bug).

Anyway, this bug is solved. I will now close it.

I think I will also test the 3.0.4, thanks for the tip Vadim.
