Hello forum,
I am using one of my computers that run Ubuntu, and I've found that the firewall won't start!
When I use:
I get the following:Code:sudo ufw enable
does anyone know what might be wrong?Code:Error: problem running ufw-init

Are you using or were ypu using firestarter. Installing firestarter can someetimes break the init script for ufw.
Try using
To replace the scriptCode:sudo apt-get remove --purge ufw && sudo apt-get install ufw
Please mark thread as solved -- Thanks.
The issue seems to have sprung up yet again and I've had to run the command... Weird. I guess I should check my firewall status more regularly, especially after updates.
Get rid of ufw and just use iptables directly -- that would be my advice. Its not really that much different to configure.
