Opened a terminal, sudo apt-get remove ufw; then went to Synaptic and loaded ufw from it's repo's. Went back to terminal, both sudo ufw and kdesudo ufw; same error; not enough args.

When I take a look at what I originally wrote...
Originally posted by SteveRiley View Post...if you want to run [a host-based firewall], UFW is the Ubuntu-supplied [one]. Kubuntu 10.10 shipped with a KCM to manage UFW via a GUI. Even though this KCM is no longer included in Kubuntu, the developer has kept it updated and you can find it on KDE-Apps.org.
UFW, alas, is still command-line, so those seeking a GUI will need to do more work. Firestarter is a Gtk program that, according to Ubuntu's firewall wiki, is no longer maintained. Kubuntu Maverick (10.10) shipped with a KCM (KDE Control Module, or Systems Settings Module) that offered a GUI to manage UFW. This package is no longer included in the Kubuntu distribution (I don't know why) but it's still maintained and available. I neglected to mention in my earlier post that the KCM is distributed only as source code, and requries a properly-installed build environment to compile.
Sumski: given how much many of us have come to appreciate the work you're doing with KDE Goodies, might we encourage you to add this to your PPA? Meanwhile, I'll check in with the folks at kubuntu-devel to find out why this KCM was dropped after Maverick.

There is still a graphical front end to UFW available in the official repositories: gufwWindows no longer obstructs my view.

While the filters and codecs are used by many GUI programs, the tools and utilities from LibAV are command line. One of my favorites is using LibAV to record a screen capture:
Code:avconv -f x11grab -s wxga -r 30 -i :0.0 -sameq /tmp/out.mpg

I really like OwnCloud. But currently there's a problem with their Linux client: each time it checks to see whether a file has been updated, it drops some PHP garbage on the server. Thousands of little files measurably affect the server's performance. Although, I see now that this has been fixed, according to the bug report. Time to test, it appears.

Okay, gentlemen. I appreciate all of your input. I made a large misunderstanding of just what it was that Steve was referring to and then, as is my wont, hopped right into it without the tools or knowledge to make proper use of it. I think I'll tackle this problem tomorrow and see if I can make it work. I apologize for having hijacked this thread for my issues, instead of it's original intended subject.
thanx,
capt-zero

Just an observation about communication: It's amazing that a simple question can arise whereby so much good information, learning can arise from just asking a simple question. I was going to type several messages back about getting the thread back on topic as it seemed at the time to me to be somewhat derailed. I stand corrected and am glad that I did not rush to react, as is so common via the Internets these days.

The kcm has worked well for me previously, but you are right...it seems dysfunctional at the moment (I recall there have been some changes to ufw this cycle and if the kcm is currently unmaintained that could explain it). I'll take a quick look at it to see if it's something simple.

After installing the modules (before the kcm helper was complaining about missing ufw modules) the kcm seems to be working like it used to (and as advertised)

For the firewall discussion, I usually just sudo ufw status then sudo ufw enable and then sudo ufw default deny. No need to add the GUI for it, but I suppose it is useful if you need to use stuff like bittorrent and whatnot. I've always been a bit wary of bittorrent and never used it, so I just have the firewall ON. Silly I suppose.PUNCH IT CHEWIE!

However, the default firewall won't do if you want to run servers on your host (file and printer sharing and ssh connections, for example, are not uncommon on linux machines...and services like these are usually the reason why people set up a firewall in the first place...a firewall is of relatively little use if you don't have any services listening for outside connections).
Of course you don't need a GUI module to set up your firewall (you can do that on the cli), the GUI module just makes rule handling easier...and the profiles are handy if you need to allow some traffic occasionally, or need different rules for workplace/open wlan hotspots etc.Last edited by kubicle; Aug 05, 2012, 08:36 AM.
