It's not working for me either. Is gufw written in python? I know python was updated to 3.6 today, breaking a few packages till they get updated for 3.6. On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 8:02 PM, Alonzo Gomez via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:
Hi.
Gufw was working (xorg only, not under Wayland) until today. Today, I did a large update of multiple packages - about 240 Mb worth. After that Gufw no longer starts.
Symptoms: When gufw icon is clicked, the authentication window pops up as usual, requesting the user password. When entered incorrectly, the window just says incorrect, try again. When entered correctly, the authentication window disappears, and nothing further happens.
Same behavior using Linux, Linux-lts, and Linux-grsec kernels.
Note: Gufw always started correctly under xorg (chosen at GDM login). Gufw has never worked, just displayed the symptoms stated above, under Wayland (chosen at GDM login).
Since the update today involved many packages, I don't know which one(s) are the culprit(s). The updated packages seemed to be mainly about GTK and Python. All dependencies seem okay, and I did remove and reinstall Gufw. Same results. (Python-gobject is intalled and up to date).
I searched online, in the wiki, in the forums, and in the Arch bug reports, all to no avail. I did come across some old reports of similar problems, possibly where GTK was responsible.
Ufw is and has been working fine, enabled and autostarted under systemd. I can't see anything suspect in dmesg or journalctl, but might not recognize it if I did.
Setup: Arch x86-64 Gnome 3 Grub2 machine is UEFI-capable, but using bios (MBR). 1 root partition (EXT4) 1 swap partition

I don't have 6 months to learn to use ufw without a gui.
Any magic solution?
If not - I'm so disgusted with ufw on Arch - can I just remove gufw, ufw, and ufw from systemctl, and then install firewalld. If so, will the existing iptables configuration be overwritten automatically, or would it have to be somehow purged manually?
Note: I have not filed a bug report yet. I wanted to see if it was really a bug, or a PEBKAC error.
