[SOLVED] unable to enable ufw

$ systemctl status ufw
○ ufw.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit ufw.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

$ sudo systemctl unmask ufw

$ sudo systemctl start ufw
Failed to start ufw.service: Unit ufw.service is masked.

$ systemctl status ufw
○ ufw.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit ufw.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Hi. I just installed ufw.
But as you can see, I'm unable to enable and start the service. What do I do?

Re: [SOLVED] unable to enable ufw

I think something went wrong while installing ufw:

$ sudo pacman -Rsn ufw
[sudo] password for mamun:
error: target not found: ufw

$ sudo pacman -S ufw                                                                                                                                             [62/1827]

How do I reinstall ufw? Using pacman -S ufw doesn't work.

Re: [SOLVED] unable to enable ufw

It's fixed!

Here's how I fixed it:

$ sudo pacman -S ufw --overwrite "*"

$ systemctl status ufw
● ufw.service - CLI Netfilter Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ufw.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: active (exited) since Fri 2022-09-23 22:16:48 +06; 6min ago
    Process: 1105006 ExecStart=/usr/lib/ufw/ufw-init start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 1105006 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
        CPU: 21ms
