Public bug reported: I added a line to /etc/fstab to put my ~/.cache on a tmpfs:
tmpfs /home/user1/.cache tmpfs nodev,nosuid,mode=1777,size=1G,defaults 0 0 or: tmpfs /home/user1/.cache tmpfs noatime,nodiratime,nodev,nosuid,mode=1777,size=1G,defaults 0 0 [I tried a couple of versions, and rebooted a number of times, not sure of the exact configuration, sorry.] After reboot, the system had no network access. "ping 1.1.1.1" or similar failed. I am using wired Ethernet. Tried various fixes. I eventually fixed the problem by uninstalling gufw. I'm not 100% positive gufw was the problem. But now (with first form of fstab line) everything works. Is gufw storing something in ~/.cache that it shouldn't be ? I should be able to wipe ~/.cache and reboot and have everything work, correct ? I had no rules set in gufw, just enabled and Incoming=Deny. System worked okay with gufw before I added that fstab line and rebooted. I'm on Kubuntu 20.10, kernel 5.8.0-41-generic, gufw 20.10.0-0ubuntu1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 Package: gufw (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-41.46-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-41-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50.5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Thu Feb 4 14:07:32 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-02-03 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Release amd64 (20201022) SourcePackage: gui-ufw UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gui-ufw (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug groovy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914606 Title: Wiping .cache makes gufw fail, cuts network access ?
