gufw wont detect the enabled state of ufw in karmic

Hi!
Can you do this test in the Terminal, please? Thanks!
sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw status
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status

And tell me the exit of this commands :)
Regards.

Sure,

The output is in pt-BR, but I will try to translate to you after the
transcription:

leitao@amz:~$ sudo ufw disable
[sudo] password for leitao:
Filtro parado e desabilitado na inicialização do sistema
leitao@amz:~$ sudo ufw status
Estado: inativo
leitao@amz:~$ sudo ufw enable
Firewall está ativo e ativado no início do sistema
leitao@amz:~$ sudo ufw status
Estado: ativo

The disable option has stopped the filters, as expected, and confirmed by
the following status option.

The enable option has restarted the funcions, as expected, and confirmed by
the following status option.

I can also confirm it since I have set my apache rule to allow access to a
different port than the traditional 80, but my apache settings still listen
to port 80 too. With the ufw disabled, I could navigate from other PC to
this IP:80 on a browser (amongst other obvious tests I did), and with ufw
enabled, I no longer could.

I the meantime, gufw never noticed any change, assuming it was always
disabled.

Hi!
Uhm... I don't undertand why Gufw fails...
Gufw reads the exit of command "ufw status" (in english), and it finds "inactive"/"active".
We must do a few test.

Can you send me the folder /usr/share/gufw, please?

Well,

Here is my /usr/share/gufw folder as in my system (fully updated)

Reading form your previous message got me wondering, and a quick fgrep for inactive (en) or inativo (pt-BR) have not found any matches.

How exactaly is this parse from the ufw status command should work?

Hi! I confirm this bug.
If the ufw language is translated, the commands fail.
I ask help in Ubuntu Forums: http://acurti.es/Oga
I must find the solution for send a command in english to the terminal.
Thanks by bug PresuntoRJ.

Uhm... I don't undertand!
In Ubuntu 9.10 the setting LANG=en not works...

But in Ubuntu 9.04 works! (See attachment file)

@Marcos: LANG=en seems to work in my Karmic installation

dfiloni@dfiloni-desktop:~$ sudo ufw status
Stato: inattivo
dfiloni@dfiloni-desktop:~$ LANG=en sudo ufw status
Status: inactive
dfiloni@dfiloni-desktop:~$

In PresuntoRJ system and my system not works :S
Anybody can do more tests, please? Thanks!
The test is report the exit of this 2 commands:
sudo ufw status
LANG=en sudo ufw status
But with your system in other language != English.

I attach a video with my ufw exit.
My Ubuntu language in the video is Spanish.

@Devid, I record a video with my system in Italian, not works for me.
Any idea?

@Marcos: I really don't know, what do you think about trying with LC_ALL ? We need to fix this issue ASAP (or the fix will not be available in Karmic).

I don't understand...
If I run another command with LANG=en works! But ufw not!
Jamie, can be a ufw bug maybe?
PresuntoRJ can you try anothers commands != ufw in terminal with "LANG=en", please? I need know if the exists are in english.
I found that with LANGUAGE=en ufw works. Why? I need help about this anormal run. Any idea, please?
PresuntoRJ can you try in terminal?: LANGUAGE=en sudo ufw status
Thanks.

I have 2 partitions:
- A new instalation of Ubuntu 9.10
- Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04

The result of command: LANG=en sudo ufw status is:
- A new instalation of Ubuntu 9.10: WORKS
- Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04: NOT WORKS

The result of command: LANGUAGE=en sudo ufw status
- A new instalation of Ubuntu 9.10: WORKS
- Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04: WORKS

But I don't undertand, LANG=en must be works. Is it LANGUAGE a valid command?

PresuntoRJ, did you upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04? or it was a new install of Ubunu 9.10? Thanks

PresuntoRJ can you do this test?
Overwrite the file /usr/share/gufw/model/Variable.py with the attached file
And check if Gufw works fine. Thanks.

it was an upgrade from 9.04 (and previously from 8.10)

Hey,

After I have replaced the package file with the one sent here it seemed to
work for me without any LANG options.

Just to confirm, this info I have sent Marco by GTalk (so it was still
undocummented)

In my env it says LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LANGUAGE=pt_BR.UTF-8
and GDM_LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8

Marking ufw task as Invalid per description.

But it's a important bug in ufw :O

It is not clear to me what the bug is in ufw. Based on comment #3, ufw seems to be working fine. Can you explain?

Hi Jamie ;) Of course.
If I run another command with LANG=en in Ubuntu the exit is in english:
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ chmod +x --verbose test
el modo de «test» cambia a 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) <------- Spanish
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ LANG=en chmod +x --verbose test
mode of `test' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) <------ English

But in a system with other language != english and ufw translated, the exit of command it's always in the systema language:
marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ sudo ufw status
Estado: activo <------------ Spanish

51413/tcp ALLOW Anywhere

marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ LANG=en sudo ufw status

Best regards.

This seems to be working ok in Ubuntu 10.04 (ufw 0.29.3) now. Eg:
$ echo $LANG
es_MX.utf8

$ sudo ufw status
Estado: activo

$ LANG=en sudo ufw status
Status: active

$ LANGUAGE=en sudo ufw status
Status: active

Can someone else confirm?

I wonder if the 'en' translations weren't fully installed/generated. For people who see this issue, what is the output of 'locale -a'? Also, shouldn't that be LANG=en_US or similar?

I would also recommend that if setting LANG or LANGUAGE or whatever in gufw, that that perhaps be changed to 'LANG=C', since there are different english translations available.

Hi Jamie.
   "This seems to be working ok in Ubuntu 10.04 (ufw 0.29.3) now. Eg:
   $ echo $LANG
   es_MX.utf8"
This will not works because the MX isn't translated in Launchpad.

You must get a translated language, as Spanish:

Hi! Only in updated versions from Ubuntu 9.04 :O
If you install Ubuntu 9.10 with a fresh instalation, you can't reproduce it.

I talked to David Planella (translations guru and member of ubuntu-translations) and he said that you should really be using 'C' and not 'en'. Added an ubuntu-translations task per David.

Per David's comments, I am going to mark the ufw portion of this bug as 'Invalid'. If it is determined there is a bug in ufw, we can reopen.

Ok! ;)
I changed the gufw code to LANG=C.
Best regards!

Marcos,

Here's some more info you might find useful regarding the use of 'en' as a language name but not as a valid locale name:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/FAQ.html#localename

In any case, seeing that the issue is solved and it did not seem to involve a translations problem, I'm closing the ubuntu-translations task as Invalid. Feel free to reopen it if necessary.

Thanks!
