• gufw 22.04.0-0ubuntu1

I have the same problem. All my rules were added by GUFW, they all have custom names. But as soon as I disable GUFW and reactivate it, all the rules become immutable, as if they were created by UFW and not by GUFW.

I think this is a bug, not an issue in my system or corrupted files.

I have tested here:

1. I made a backup of my gufw profile: sudo cp /etc/gufw/Início.profile /etc/gufw/Início.profile.bak
2. Disabled and reactivated gufw: all rules become immutable as if they were created by UFW.
3. Disabled gufw again.
4. Restored profile backup: sudo cp /etc/gufw/Início.profile.bak /etc/gufw/Início.profile
5. Enabled gufw again: now all the rules are gufw and i can edit them again.

Look at this screenshot. Before disable GUFW and after reactivate it. The sizes changes. Profile is reseted!

I have tested to create a custom profile: Daniel.profile. But the problem allways happens.

Any profile is reseted once disabled.

Also, PR #55 fixed this issue, but was closed without merge and any discussion.

Uh, permissions to /etc/gufw are different. Files are 600 not 644.

While /etc/ufw are 640 for files (and rules):

Change profile permissions in /etc/gufw from 600 to 640 or 644 don't fix the issue.
