Bug Description

Binary package hint: ufw

$ ufw --version
ufw 0.12
Copyright (C) 2008 Canonical Ltd.

$ sudo ufw enable
Firewall started and enabled on system startup

So, now I started 'ufw', but when I restart Ubuntu, it does not start.

also...
-------
if sys.version_info[0] < 2 or sys.version_info[1] < 5:
    print >> sys.stderr, programName + ": Need at least python 2.5\n"
    sys.exit(1)
---
Isn't that a bug in the script?
What if version is 3.4? Then its "at least 2.5" but still fail?

Thank you for filing this bug report and helping to make Ubuntu even better. Do you have ipv6 blacklisted? Try running:

$ lsmod|grep ipv6
ipv6 311720 20

If you don't see the 'ipv6' line, then it's blacklisted and you are hitting bug #192123.

I will be updating the initscript for the next upload, which will hopefully fix the problem.
