troubles getting the ui to run on kubuntu 20.04

[rons1234]

Hi,

first of all thanks for all your hard work aaaand sorry for the dumb/n00b question ...

I have a vanilla Kubuntu 20.4 installation. And I ran both opensnitch_1.0.0rc9-1_amd64.deb & python3-opensnitch-ui_1.0.0rc9-1_all.deb. Install process seems to have run through fine.

However when I type "opensnitch" into the applications search I seem to get only OpenSnitch as an entry, that when clicked on seems to open and close. I do not get a link to any GUI.

Is there anything I am missing?

thanks a lot for ur help

Hi there!

Please, open a terminal and type: sudo dpkg -i opensnitchdeb ; sudo apt -f install

And try to launch the GUI again. If it doesn't work, please, post the output of the above commands.

Probably you're running into this issue: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/issues/25#issuecomment-633079820

Hi Gustavo,

thanks so much for the fast reply.

I am getting the following error:

dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'opensnitchdeb': No such file or directory Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Is there a certain directory I need to install these two packages from?

right, of course ... doh ... when running this from the dir they live in and calling each name seperately the install worked:

Seems like I stupidly just copied the install code without thinking much. It seems to be running now and keeps asking me about programs trying to access the web - awesome thanks.

great! I'll try to improve the installer to avoid these questions.
