Problem with KMyFirewall configuration

[scoonma]

The --prefix option is used to determine an install path for compiled binaries after building them. So it's done correctly. BTW, I saw version 1.0.1 is recent for 2007.1 and also for 2008, ready to install with urpmi. Why not use that one?

[zibi1981]

I did that before, and I couldn't even start this program, but here you go...

And now what happens when I run newly installed KMyFirewall...

Hm, this looks really bad. Sorry, I've no more ideas than to file a bug report to qa.mandriva.com and wait for a fix.

[zibi1981]

Anyone else has an idea what to try next?

[zibi1981]

No one replied, so far... Does anyone use KMyFirewall on Mandriva 2008.0? If so, then how to configure it properly? Does anyone have similar problem with it?

[lavaeolus]

sorry that I can't help you, but I haven't used kmyfirewall on Mandriva, i just use the built-in mandriva firewall, which worked very well for me so far. Maybe kmyfirewall conflicts with it ? Don't know how much (if at all) mandriva tweaked iptables/shorewall.

[zibi1981]

So for now I got back to Firestarter, although I prefer KMyFirewall...
