[Bug 850468] Re: firewall apparently disabled until you authenticate

 

hey:)
 developer from dev core team, patrick.
im currently lestening from launchpad and heard things about ur issues, im heading u a list for rescuing ur details,
here's  the solution,

1. launch the terminal for devmode use,
2. replace the key with unlock status for dev-ops.
3. hid the radiobutton for captitable options until its unlocked
3. replace it with its saying unlock to see the staus (usually requires people to auth the app for the highest administration with password) and auth the gufw for root at all.

finally u'll resolve the problem uve met

best regards  Patrick ;)

Title:
  firewall apparently disabled until you authenticate

Status in Gufw:
  New

Bug description:
  In Oneiric:

  1- install gufw etc, and start it
  2- click the lock and authenticate
  3- turn the firewall on
  4- quit
  5- (optionally, verify from the terminal that the firewall is still active)
  6- restart ufw

  what happens: it shows "Firewall status: off" (greyed out), until you authenticate
  what should happen: if the firewall state can't be reported until you authenticate, gufw shouldn't show something that looks like it's actually off
