Hi!
Just installed Netrunner on my PC and then installed UFW amongst other necessities. Then I did
sudo systemctl enable ufw
sudo systemctl start ufw
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
which spat this out:
WARN: uid is 0 but ‘/’ is owned by 1000
WARN: / is group writable!
I Googled this and in one forum they mentioned the need of a new kernel??
Hmmm… now I installed the BZR version, and I just got a different error…
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/ufw”, line 26, in
import ufw.frontend
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufw/frontend.py”, line 22, in
from ufw.common import UFWError
ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code)
That’s a permissions issue both / and /etc directories should be owned by root.
Open a terminal and run ls -l /
All of the directories under / should be owned by root root like in the screen shot:
[attachment=448]
Next make note of anything different and chown them to root.root like this
sudo chown root.root / /etcThat seems to no be the problem. This is my output:
$ ls -l

Everything under /etc should also be owned by root root as well except for cups it should be owned by root lp like in this screenshot:
[attachment=450]
This is also OK 
Here is /etc for ufw
[attachment=453]
Here is /etc/ufw
[attachment=454]
If anything is not root.root as it should be then sudo chmod it…
I think that gufw may be what changed your permissions, but I can’t be sure I don’t use it.
May I suggest kcm-ufw from the AUR instead of gufw , this is what I use and I get a much better experience.
yaourt -S kcm-ufwHahh! I was stupid enough not to run your code 
sudo chown root.root / /etc
That one took care of the first error
Now I am left with
WARN: / is group writable!
[hr]
Hmm… No, I just installed
ufw, bash, inkscape, scribus-svn and qupzilla on a brand new fresh install… so if not any of those apps mess with ownership, it must be there from the start somehow
Here this should make / unwritable again.
sudo chmod g-w /Thanks! That solved it 
I just did a fresh install of ufw and didn’t get the error you did.
I meant a fresh Netrunner install One of the first things I installed was ufw - so chances are that the problem could have been there from the start…
Yes, I understood. This is a fresh install on my test machine that I use for troubleshooting. What I did was install UFW on a fresh install of Netrunner Rolling and didn’t get the issue. This is when I began troubleshooting with you here in the forums.
Aha! OK I installed Netrunner on my laptop also now (I like it (y) ) and the same thing happens with UFW here too… but, now I know how to fix it
