I am using Ubuntu 12.10 upgrade up to date on a dell D630
I have firestarter installed (over many versions) and it used to show the active connection but no longer does.
If I
sudo firestarter

and then hit the active connections, in the terminal window I get the following error repeatedly until I stop the active connection display.

Error reading /proc/net/ip_conntrack: No such file or directory

I look in /proc/net and there is no such file. Suggestions on the web state that I should
I check that conntrack is installed and appearently should be, to be able to do the modprobe command to get the file. so I do

sudo apt-get install conntrack

which install just fine

then I do

sudo modprobe ip_conntrack
and it does not complain but the is no file ip_conntrack file created.:confused:

What am I doing wrong or what is missing.
I can do a
sudo conntrack -L

and get a list of connections.

Synaptic states in the description that Firestarter is no longer being developed and is "missing critical features", but they did update the user manual last year available at the website .
