    Question [SOLVED] Problems enabling GUFW, UFW in Debian

    Hi. I have a problem with the unix firewall (gufw)
    I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition.

    The problem appears when I double click on the icon to bring it up for configuring.
    Everything is grayed out so I click on the "unlock" button.

    Normally, this is when gufw comes alive with color.

    But all I get now is a note on the bottom of the gray screen that says "Wrong Identification".

    I would like to have my firewall working for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ufw/gufw without success.

    Which versions are you using? (ufw, Gufw, Mint).

    I've figured it out.

    Just needed to go to terminal; sign in as superuser; and run 'gufw' from there.

    thanks fo the help.
