I've looked at this issue again in reference to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990834 and while I still cannot reproduce, I plan to change to the following (I won't ship the commented out lines of course):
[Unit] Description=Uncomplicated firewall Documentation=man:ufw(8) #DefaultDependencies=no #Before=network.target Before=network-pre.target Wants=network-pre.target [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/lib/ufw/ufw-init start quiet ExecStop=/lib/ufw/ufw-init stop [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target This removes DefaultDependencies=no so that 'sysinit' will be pulled in and changes the single 'Before=network.target' to instead have Before=network-pre.target and Wants=network-pre.target. This won't help people who have different firewall software installed (like some of the comments), but should make startup more robust (eg, for those needing something from sysinit) while still allowing it to come up before the network. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #990834 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990834 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726856 Title: ufw does not start automatically at boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ufw/+bug/1726856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
