active rules not chown after first run

[Nizar Kerkeni]

I used Gufw 0.0.6 to define some rules. After updating to 0.0.7 these rules are not displayed by default after the first run. I got them displayed after deactivation/activation of the firewall.

Hi!
With the update the rules isn't changed.
They're in the file /var/lib/ufw/user.rules
When you update the file is the same :O
I don't undertand why not appear...
Can you give me more data?
Maybe more people had got this issue.
Thanks very much by your time for this bug ;)
Best regards.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Hi Marcos;
The rules are the same as configured in the last version, but they are only not displayed.
Which kind of informations or data you need ?
We shall wait to see if more people report this problem.

[costales (costales)]

yes, if it successed in the first run, better wait for more people.
In Gufw, the rules was obtein with the command "sudo ufw status".
If not appear is strange :O
Thanks again!

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

no Marcos I'm under hardy (amd64)
when i type :
gksudo --preserve-env /usr/share/gufw/gufw.py
I haven't error message.
The same thig is reproduced today after first running gufw. The rules are not displayed until i deactivate and activate gufw. During these operations no output are displayed on terminal.
here is the result of

sudo ufw status
Firewall loaded

To Action From
-- ------ ----
4662:tcp ALLOW Anywhere
4672:udp ALLOW Anywhere
6880:tcp ALLOW Anywhere
22:tcp ALLOW Anywhere
22:udp ALLOW Anywhere

Can you update to the 0.0.7b version, please?
And say me the result of this?
Thanks!

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

ok i think that i found the problem.
At startup my firewall is inactive so gufw can't display rules.
but when i launch gufw it says that my firewall is active and this what causes my incomprehension.
So i think that this bug must be changed as : gufw don't report correct status of ufw at startup.
What do you think ?

[costales (costales)]

Maybe comprensible...
I use this for check the enable/disable firewall:
file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
must be has:
# set to yes to start on boot
ENABLED=yes

or
# set to yes to start on boot
ENABLED=no

What has got your file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf?
Can you check it in tests, please? thanks a lot!

[costales (costales)]

Can you give me the version ufw too?
"sudo ufw version"
Thanks.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

nizarus@dell:~$ cat /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
# /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
#

# set to yes to start on boot
ENABLED=yes

strange my firewall at startup is off !!
and
nizarus@dell:~$ sudo ufw version
ufw 0.16.2.2

[costales (costales)]

Well, you have got the same version that me.

Try this test:
1.- Open the file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf with gedit.
2.- In terminal: sudo ufw status
a.- Do agrees?

3.- In terminal: sudo ufw new_status (set to the Otherwise status).
4.- Review gedit (it reloaded the file).
b.- Do agress?

Change the file when you change the status?

[costales (costales)]

Can you test? :O

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

1.- Open the file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf with gedit.
     ENABLED=yes
2.- In terminal: sudo ufw status
      Firewall not loaded
a.- Do agrees?
      No !! Strange !!

3.- In terminal: sudo ufw new_status (set to the Otherwise status).
     sudo ufw enable
     Firewall started and enabled on system startup
4.- Review gedit (it reloaded the file).
     reloaded : ENABLED=no
b.- Do agress?
     now they agree

[costales (costales)]

Hi!
For me:
1.- Open the file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf with gedit.
     ENABLED=yes
2.- In terminal: sudo ufw status
     Firewall loaded
a.- Do agrees?
      Yes

3.- In terminal: sudo ufw new_status (set to the Otherwise status).
     sudo ufw disable
    Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
4.- Review gedit (it reloaded the file).
     reloaded : ENABLED=no
b.- Do agress?
     Yes

For me is correct :O

Can anybody test this???

Nizar Kerkeni: Can you test with a LiveCD? Do you use Intrepid or Hardy?

Best regards.

[costales (costales)]

I think is an ufw bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ufw/+bug/197285

But... Can you test this?
In terminal:
sudo ufw enabled

Edit the file /etc/ufw/ufw.conf with gedit.
gksudo gedit
And in ENABLED line change the ENABLED=no by:
     ENABLED=yes

Save and reboot.

then maybe all works.... :O

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Please try Marcos suggestion above and let us know how it works out.

[costales (costales)]

Hi Nizar Kerkeni! ;)
If you will not reply, I will change the status as Invalid.
I think is a problem of installation of ufw :O
Best regards.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Hello Marcos Alvarez Costales ;)
Sorry I was too busy last time.
So here is the result of your suggestion
nothing changed :/
but i think that is an ufw bug instead of gufw, because on /etc/ufw/ufw.conf i have ENABLED=yes but when i ask for ufw status sudo ufw status i have "Firewall not loaded"
i think that gufw have to see the status of the firewall instead of the ufw.conf file, do you agree ?
in boot time i have a message that i have an error on file /etc/ufw/before.rules perhaps this is the cause of this :/

[Soul-Sing (soulzing)]

i can´t confirm this bug. i can´t reproduce it either....strange.

[costales (costales)]

Maybe /etc/ufw/before.rules is corrupt.
Please, run LiveCD and overwrite this file in the hard disk, and check again :O
If not more people has this bug, I will put as Invalid. Sorry.
Thanks!

[Emilio (turl)]

Maybe try removing & purging ufw, rebooting and reinstalling?

You would need to run:
sudo apt-get remove --purge ufw -> this will remove it

And after rebooting
sudo apt-get install ufw

And then reboot again and try ;)

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

Thanks Emilio, I done what you suggest and all is ok now.

[Soul-Sing (soulzing)]

no bug. question closed.
