Bug Description
The Log File Viewer is always empty. I set up GUFW and enabled logging. I verified that logging is on using the "sudo ufw status verbose" command. I set GUFW to reject all outgoing connections to test the Log. I then tried using Firefox and some other applications that connect to the internet. None of the applications were able to successfully connect to the internet because GUFW was blocking.
Yet nothing is ever showing up in my Log File Viewer. On previous versions of Ubuntu, the Log File Viewer would have recorded these blocked internet connections. I restarted the computer and tried it all again. Still a blank Log File Viewer.
I've attached a screenshot to show what the Log File Viewer looks like when I open it.
