gufw still not working

It will not run. This is a fresh and new installation of arch on new hardware. Installed last night, and pacman -Syu shows all is up to date. This is a 64 bit system with multilib enabled.

I read and followed this article: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218808

This is the error I am getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gufw/gufw.py", line 30, in <module>
    gufw = Gufw(controler.get_frontend())

    self.winadd = Add(self)

    self.apps = AppProfiles()

    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 333: ordinal not in range(128)

NetTools is installed.

Help would be appreciated. Thank You!

Dave

Re: gufw still not working

Were you able to get this working?  I'm getting the exact same error. Only difference is i'm running on a 7 year old 32 bit laptop.  (I'm using xfce4.)

Nope. No one has responded, and recent updates since the post have not resolved this issue.

Sorry!

Dave.

Re: gufw still not working

what about ufw, is it working?

 sudo ufw status 

This will at least makes sure that you have got working firewall.

Note: I am using ufw without graphical front-end and it is working without issue.

Re: gufw still not working

Yes. ufw is working. I followed the Arch wiki and it works just fine. In fact I had ufw working for a day or two before I installed the gufw.
It's only the GUI add-on that isn't working.

Thanks!
