This is my first install of a firewall. I installed gufw on my Kubuntu Ocelot OS, KDE 4.7.2. I do not know what to expect. I used kdesudo gufw to open the application to configure the firewall, however when opened, gufw appears inactive. The File Menu only has the Quit option active. Log... is greyed out.
The Edit Menu contains:
+Add Rule
- Remove Rule
Reload Rules
Reset Rules
Preferences
All are greyed out and cannot be accessed.
The indicators for:
Status
Incoming:
Outgoing:
Appear inactive and are greyed out.
Nothing is visible in the window under Rules, ie. To, Action, From.
Never having the application running, I do not know what to expect, however, I assume that I would be able to have choices and configuration available, since this is a Kubuntu application.
I used Muon Package Manager to install the application. What am I missing? Was it appropriate to open the application in kdesudo gufw? How do I know the application is running? Thanks!
