ufw-kde - a simple firewall for Kubuntu users
Well, as I head out to UDS, I am putting together my demo of ufw-kde, a GUI front-end to ufw (the Uncomplicated Firewall), which is command line based only.
Ah yes, I have to update the deps. Python 2.5 is required for the try/except/finally clause in the code. Python 2.5 is default in Intrepid, so I initially missed that.
Awesome. Since I moved to Kubuntu I'm looking for something useful and simple like GUFW is.
I would suggest if you don't mind:
1. ufw-kde... what!? I suppose you want to say KUFW =D 2. Keep it simple! Go away with all unuseful things, plain copy original GUFW and give them the GUI credit, that a proven concept that works, why reinvent the wheel!! :D:D 3. Add predetermined applications settings for common KDE applications like KTorrent and commonly wide used applications like amule, Deluge, Transmission (hey, it's good!), Nicotine-Plus and so on. 4. Keepp it simple, keep it simple, keep it uncluttered.
Many many thanks, I'm looking forward release of this cool utility, best!
Interesting design. Hope you'll credit the original! http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/index.html

Check out the code in launchpad. I have the Credit already in there in the help menu about credits.

Looks fine, but I get an error during installation:
ReplyDeleteProcessing triggers for python-support ...
Compiling /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/filetools.py ...
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/filetools.py", line 61
finally:

ReplyDeleteI have added python 2.5 as a requirement to control file.
