UFW won't start at boot, tried everything I could find!

[rough60]

---

Hi all,

I can't get ufw to start at boot, ubuntu 11.10.
This is what I've done:

sudo ufw enable

In the ufw.conf file:

# /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
#

# Set to yes to start on boot. If setting this remotely, be sure to add a rule
# to allow your remote connection before starting ufw. Eg: 'ufw allow 22/tcp'
ENABLED=yes

# Please use the 'ufw' command to set the loglevel. Eg: 'ufw logging medium'.
# See 'man ufw' for details.
LOGLEVEL=low

Also tried putting it in programs at start up
Name: ufw
Command: ufw
Name: ufw
Command: enable
Name: ufw
Command: ufw enable

Programs I've installed:
teamviewer
wine
pokerstars (in wine)
clamtk
mythtv
mount manager
skype
weather and system monitor indicators
dansguardian
privoxy

dansguardian and privoxy set up as bodhi.zazen intructions at Shadows of epiphany (sorry not enough posts to include links)

I don't have firestarter or similar installed either.

Thanks for any help,
Cheers

You are running Ubuntu? Or something else?

You are running Ubuntu? Or something else?

Yes Ubuntu 11.10

I noticed this comes up when i enable ufw in terminal

ERROR: problem running ufw-init

then when i enable again straight away it enables no problem

At this point I don't know what to tell you. UFW is the Ubuntu simplified firewall service, and Ubuntu 11.10 is the latest (!greatest) iteration of the series, hence prone to issues such as this. What have you been able to find from the Ubuntu user forums?

Not much, here is a list of packages installed, I couldn't see any other firewall tools that might conflict with ufw:

Well, as some wag once said, if you don't first get it in the hole, then hit the ball again! IE, since you can get it working by disabling/re-enabling the service, then see if you can do that in a startup script, such as rc.local which is run after all the regular services are initialized. You may need to insert a wait before you do so, but it MAY work...

Ok, I'm not sure how to do this.

Also could a service or something that starts after ufw is enabled at boot be turning it off?

Also could a service or something that starts after ufw is enabled at boot be turning it off?

Possibly. I wouldn't know without being able to look at your system directly. The services that are started at boot time are in the /etc/rc.d directory tree, one sub-directory for each run-level. Since normal GUI boot is run-level 5, those would be in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, and text-based boot is run-level 3, those would be in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d. Each file is a script that starts/stops/report-status on each service. They are started in order, so K01* service(s) start before K10* service(s). Look in those directories to see if there may be some conflict. You can rename the script(s) to fix an "order of initialization" problem.

One of the reasons I mentioned rc.local, is that is the script that is run after all of the others on boot. This is intended for user-specified startup actions, that need to be done after all of the system-level stuff is started (networks, firewalls, etc).

Thanks Rubberman,
Is there a script I can use for this, I have no idea how to write one.
Also where would I put it for it to work on all user accounts on boot.
Cheers.
