OpenSnitch not running

Support AUR
1

Installed OpenSnitch but its not running. I wondered if there are any other packages I need to install to get it up and working?

Any advice appreciated.

Hello there

Seems familiar to this?

According to them:

For ArchLinux/Manjaro users this worked:

installed was from AUR python-unicode-slugify-git

removed it and installed python-unicode-slugify

Tried installing as suggested and this popped up.

onflicting files:

  • python-unicode-slugify: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/slugify/init.py already exists in filesystem (owned by python-slugify)
  • python-unicode-slugify: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/slugify/pycache/init.cpython-39.opt-1.pyc already exists in filesystem (owned by python-slugify)
  • python-unicode-slugify: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/slugify/pycache/init.cpython-39.pyc already exists in filesystem (owned by python-slugify)

Uninstall this then try again.

Hello! I’ve been having the same issue. I finally dug around their FAQ’s on this Page, FAQs · evilsocket/opensnitch Wiki · GitHub , and found that the reason the GUI would run, but nothing was happening was because the Daemon wasn’t running.

The solution was down a couple of topics, under Opensnitch not Running.

Status is Not Running

Be sure that the daemon is running: pgrep opensnitchd

If it’s not running, you may need to enable and start it:

$ sudo systemctl enable opensnitchd
$ sudo systemctl start opensnitchd.service

Those two commands did the trick!

worked for me and then you can check with:
sudo opensnitch-ui
