Hello.
Using Arch X86-64 up to date. Gnome 3, with GDM. UFW works fine.
Logging in (GDM) gives 3 choices: - Gnome - Gnome classic - Gnome with xorg
If I log in as using the option "Gnome with xorg" at GDM, GUFW works fine.
But, if I log in choosing either "Gnome" or "Gnome classic", GUFW will not start. Instead, whether I click the gui icon, or do "gufw" or "sudo gufw" in a terminal, the authentication dialog box appears asking for the password. After entering the password, the dialog box disappears, and nothing further happens.
This is regardless of whether I use Linux, Linux-lts, or Linux-grsec.
Fwiw, I do have net-tools and python-gobject both installed. Python-gi does not seem to be in the repos.
If necessary, I can reboot into either Gnome or Gnome classic, try GUFW again, and post whatever error messages would be helpful.
BTW, no other application program exhibit this behavior.
Something working with gnome-under-xorg but not gnome-under-wayland sounds like an application that makes use of X directly, and hasn't been ported to work with wayland instead. But I was under the impression that Gnome automatically ran such applications under Xwayland... -- Eli Schwartz
