I'm having a minor/major issue with the setting's (gufw I believe) firewall, as it is simply not accessible. If I click on "Configure firewall" I am prompted to enter my password (Very sure it is correct No "Wrong password messages there" for instance, also made it visible to double check like 10 times), then the password prompt disappears, but the firewall settings don't open up, just nothing happens
As I'm not at all familiar with linux processes: Is there anything I can just shut down or restart in order to make it work? I'd really need to allow a port in there, so that's why it's minor/major
Everything I've done so far is to reboot my computer. Twice, no dice.
yeah, that's what I basically just did manually. Any time I enter gufw from console I'd get this error message
donatus@LinuxxDanceMachine:~$ gufw
Traceback (most recent call last):

However, now that you're saying python, I had a terrible try on installing a python based program recently. Maybe I broke something really bad? Is there any way to completely reinstall python 3? Or let's say clean install it?
There are many aspects of Linux that a user can play around with, explore and test. But Python is not one of them. Python is a very sensitive bit all on its own...
Yes, I see up to 3.10 on there. It's not going to work.
3.8 is as high as it can usably go.
Holy mother of god, no, nooo, please don't do this to me I have a media server running on here with several 100TB of storage and millions of bits of metadata working together Isn't there a slightly less...drastic option?
