library path failure on Lubuntu

[nealrauhauser]

Trying to install on Lubuntu VM just to see how opensnitch looks. There was a lack of libcap-dev dependency detection, which I easily resolved, but which needs fixing, and then this mystery.

./opensnitchd WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination :: (no default route?). This affects only IPv6 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./opensnitchd", line 38, in from opensnitch.snitch import Snitch File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/opensnitch-0.0.2-py3.5.egg/opensnitch/snitch.py", line 31, in from opensnitch.iptables import IPTCRules File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/opensnitch-0.0.2-py3.5.egg/opensnitch/iptables.py", line 19, in import iptc File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/python_iptables-0.12.0-py3.5-linux-x86_64.egg/iptc/init.py", line 10, in from iptc.ip4tc import (is_table_available, Table, Chain, Rule, Match, Target, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/python_iptables-0.12.0-py3.5-linux-x86_64.egg/iptc/ip4tc.py", line 13, in from .xtables import (XT_INV_PROTO, NFPROTO_IPV4, XTablesError, xtables, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/python_iptables-0.12.0-py3.5-linux-x86_64.egg/iptc/xtables.py", line 812, in raise XTablesError("can't find directory with extensions; " iptc.xtables.XTablesError: can't find directory with extensions; please set XTABLES_LIBDIR

A quick Google brings up this solution

https://github.com/ldx/python-iptables/issues/37

And this is the right incantation for Lubuntu

cat >> ~/.bashrc export XTABLES_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xtables/ ctrl-d

Once this is resolved, I get the following error, and I think this is a bit past my Python debugging skills.

./opensnitchd WARNING: No route found for IPv6 destination :: (no default route?). This affects only IPv6 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./opensnitchd", line 77, in raise RuntimeError('DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set') RuntimeError: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set

I'm very excited by a Linux port of Little Snitch, willing to do whatever in terms of testing on various distros, just not sure how to proceed here.

I installed Linux Mint 18.1.

opensnitch still has the need for apt install libcap-dev

Does not have the other dependency issues.

Still has the DBUS error as reported above.

And then the VM hung hard, which is the sort of misbehavior I expect from Mint.

The library path is not an issue with Opensnitch but rather with certain distros.

The DBUS_SESSION_ADDRESS issue is that you are not using the right sudo flags. You need to inherit this from the user session.

I'm closing this since neither are issues with Opensnitch.
