the "logs" section not working on arch & ChakraOS

[ahjolinna]

I don't see anything Nomad log section but everytime I check dmesg I notice UFW has blocked A LOT of stuff...this is on arch (stable) and chakraOS (testing)

output of: "kcmshell5 org_nxos_firewall":

It's only the log section the one not working ?
The connections section, according to your logs, should not work either.
Notice that it requires the "netstat" command to work.

Anyway just let me install a chakraOS to test it.
Thanks for the report

[ahjolinna]

yeah that is also not working or at least its not showing anything :

I just installed netstat(/net-tools) on Arch and the connection section works now, and the output is now this :

damn... apparently net-tools(netstat) was deprecated longtime ago and you should be using iproute2 instead: http://www.archlinux.org/news/deprecation-of-net-tools/

[azubieta]

Now is when we say, "we love linux", netstat is the default in ubuntu and debian :(

[ahjolinna]

"well oc it is by default" -- ubuntu and debian has always been the slowest distros to adopt the newest tech/standards. Maybe just move to iproute2 directly, as it seems to be the "new" standard for past 6 years now -- and it seems to be part of the kernel ...more or less

PS. its seems at least in arch the "netctl & networkmanager" pkgs requires iproute2

[azubieta]

I'm considering adding the two backends, as the "netstat" one is already made. Right now I must attend other issues, later I'll be back on this.
If you want to help you can make a backend implementation similar to this https://github.com/nomad-desktop/nomad-firewall/blob/master/plugins/netstat/helper/netstathelper.cpp#L43

[ahjolinna]

Sure that is fine and I will be here, I don't a life anyways so... Why not.

Also about the backend thing, I assume it will be a build conf to check the backend you want to use, and not do some major splitting

Sent from my Sony F5121 using FastHub

[azubieta]

I guess that we can build it with both backends enabled and at runtime use the one available.

[azubieta]

Logs are being read from "/var/log/ufw.log", I suppose that arch store then somewhere else.

[ahjolinna]

@azubieta : well apparently all UFW events should be logged to systemd journal by default.

[ahjolinna]

journalctl | grep -i ufw or journalctl -u ufw

[ahjolinna]

btw. about the "backend" thing, I think best option would be to have the "used option" with CMake when choosing the backend ...aka Duse_netstat=ON or/and Duse_Iproute2=ON

[ahjolinna]

btw. maybe you just need to have two backends that are completely different, one is the "legacy" one aka for debian/ubuntu, and the 2nd one would for more normal distros :D (sarcasm)

---

I love to hate on debian & ubuntu based distros, they are the "windows ME and vista" of the linux world

[azubieta]

I'll close this issue in favor of opening a new one #17

[maz-1]

The iproute2 backend does matter, but you seem to forget the very beginning problem : logs support on Archlinux :-(
Edit: Oh, I see you are implementing an iptables backend, thats great
