Also I just noticed that any already opened webpage that attempts to do a refresh at any time after the firewall is enabled gets stuck reloading forever, and there are no log messages of any blocked packets on port 80. The page reloads fine on its next refresh if I disable the firewall. Still looking into this...
-- Enabling firewall with the default rules breaks mintUpdate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gufw Developers, which is the registrant for Gufw. Status in Gufw: New Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: Triaged Status in ufw - Uncomplicated Firewall: New Status in “gui-ufw” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In Mint 8 Helena, enabling the firewall by clicking the Enabled button in the Firewall dialog creates a very odd set of default rules that over-cautiously blocks input packets with no allowance being made for RELATED,EXISTING connections. This is undesirable and has several consequences - for example, it completely breaks mintUpdate which can no longer receive data from Canonical's servers on port 80: [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:29:aa:6b:13:ca:00:21:1b:52:ef:b0:a7:00 SRC=91.189.88.46 DST=192.168.50.8 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=55764 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=32948 WINDOW=1024 RES=0x00 RST URGP=0 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
