Bug 461726

Hi thebluequasar@mailo.com, this happens when part of ufw is missing, maybe you need to install an additional package?

Hello, do you know what package it might be, more specifically? I've searched and couldn't find any extra or additional packages for UFW on Ubuntu repos. Since this is a fairly new installation of KDE Neon, it sounds a bit unlikely to me that a missing package could be causing this.

I really don't know because I don't use Neon, but you could start the firewall module from CLI with "kcmshell5 kcm_firewall" to see what is happening. I still believe something is not right, as we just read info from ufw to fill that dropdown.

Thank you. I ran the Plasma Firewall from the terminal with the command you gave, and I pasted the output below. There is also a debug message in there. here is the terminal output:

Hope this is useful. Please let me know if there are any other commands I could run or other things to try, to generate more information and post the results.

ufw lists available applications but the firewall kcm does not:

paul@desktop:~$ sudo ufw app list
Available applications:
  CUPS
  OpenSSH

paul@desktop:~$ sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kde_ufw_plugin_helper.py --list
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ufw><rules></rules></ufw>

we don't use the helper to retrieve the list, as you can see here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-firewall/-/blob/master/kcm/backends/ufw/helper/helper.cpp#L107-130

I tried to replicate this behaviour and I couldn't obtain the same result.

Can you try a live ISO with KDE? 

My ufw version
ufw 0.36.1

What is yours?

Ops,
helper == the python script.

Sorry, I realised it wasn't the python script soon after posting my last comment.

I have reproduced the problem using the latest iso of KDE Neon User Edition (neon-user-20221117-0714.iso), please let me know it there's another distro you'd like me to try.

Also, I'm able to try changes to the code if you want me to try something. 

ufw --version gives:
ufw 0.36.1

I attach a video showing what I'm doing in case it's any help

Okay, I downloaded the same image and was able to reproduce it, I'll start working to find a fix to that, but at the first glance, it shouldn't change it behaviour. Since it just collects the output from “ufw app list”.

Can you test it in another distro (don't need to be arch-based, but one that doesn't use Ubuntu as it)? The major diff identified is the app list, which is drastically different.
