I’m on KDE, Manjaro, Pinebook Pro.

Try:

pkexec gufw

Or simply gufw. It will acquire root rights itself.

It should be in its own package: pamac install gufw (note, no sudo here).

Yup … we fixed (hacky-patched) the semi-broken gufw launcher, and it should use pkexec (polkit) now automatically, without failing instead… which is also why you should not use sudo.
(also geeze gufw fix yer stuff :laughing:)

And PS - using sudo with graphical applications is just about always a bad idea. If something requires it … that something is likely broken. In whatever case the process of elimination should work the other way around from this post - start regularly … attempt elevated privileges when necessary.

As a note, that has not been fixed in ARM, so that fix is not available for this user. :frowning:

I assume the PKGBUILD in our gitlab is the one used, so I’ll just use that.

Ah yes … someone built the sed line into it.
(note - besides the display/pkexec issue, it was also to fix a localization problem so if you had other gufw errors relating to certain languages this would be the thing as well)

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>

I’ve done it for you this time. :wink:

You can start the Gufw firewall application with the following command. Please provide feedback if the problem is resolved or the problem persists. Thanks.

sudo gufw-pkexec

or

sudo python3 /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gufw/gufw.py

ew. no.
dont start graphical application with sudo.
And dont ‘sudo pkexec’ either … why sudo polkit gui ?
