upnp-router-control constantly shows "not available" WAN status and IP

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

`upnp-router-control` constantly shows "not available" WAN status and IP, even though the network is connected to the internet and name resolution works, no matter whether the program is started with `sudo` or as an unprivileged user.

Hello @krichter722, thank you for the time spent testing UPnP Router Control.

First question: is UPnP feature enabled in your router configuration?

If UPnP is enabled and other programs (like Transmission) can open ports on your router, please run URC from the console in debug mode for give me more informations:

upnp-router-control --debug

Hello Daniele,

> is UPnP feature enabled in your router configuration?
Yes, and adding port forwarding rules works fine with upnpc. Probably should have started with that :)

`upnp-router-control --debug` prints

    * Initializing GUI...
    * Showing GUI...
    * Starting UPnP Resource discovery... done

and

    * Destroying GUI...

after closing which is the same output as without `--debug`. I can test a PPA development version if you have one.

Hi Karlk, seems more a problem on the libgupnp because there is no device detected.

Please try also the PPA here: https://code.launchpad.net/~dnax88/+archive/ubuntu/upnp-router-control-daily
