Firewall settings unresponsive

I have been doing a system integration since 1990's.
It was my ex who first showed me how to do it.

Every time I do a system upgrade, I also assemble a sub-machine from the retired parts. That way I do not have to risk my production system when I got this itch for experimentation :woman_scientist:

It could. I strongly recommend backing up, first.:expressionless:
Anything pip or python 3.10...
Looking at your actual files... You might want to remove all python and pip files, then immediately run

sudo apt install --reinstall python3 pip

right after... and...

Godspeed, soldier.

Glad to here that :slight_smile:
Apart from my sub-machine, I have also other toys to play around.
Those inexpensive RaspberryPi's are great tool for learning coding :slight_smile:

I'll buy you anything you like!!!!

But I need to calm down my excited mind now. When I try to use gufw it says "Gufw.py" is not responding :frowning:

Yeah, I hear that all the time but was never witty enough to get my head around them or hands on them. Are they like...little nas devices or what are they?

Back to /usr/share/bin and check what python items are there...

Aye aye cmder.

Well, if I access /usr/share/ there are several 'bin' folders in it, none contains python files. However, searching for 'python' in /usr/share returns an endless list of python related files:



They are small computers.
Single board computer to be precise.
100% Linux compatible :slight_smile:

There is even a keyboard integrated version. All you need is mouse and monitor to have a working Linux machine.

I use them (simple keyboard-less version) as printserver, network wide ad-trap (pihole), connected non-smart speakers, WordPress server and OpenMediaVault (NAS).

I meant /usr/bin...
BUT, I'd say risk going ahead and removing all python 3.10 or 3.9 you find and crossing your legs, I mean fingers...

Wow very cool! Sounds indeed very good! I know some people who run their media servers on those as well :slight_smile: What is a pihole btw? (For dummies please :smiley: )

Hahaha, well okay :open_mouth: You really mean like removing any file related to 3.10/3.9 I can find? No backups?

In /usr/bin/ there's btw only one python3.10 file. DELETION!

I'll delete everything I can find now

You can read about it here.

It basically filter all advertisement serving servers in the database and display an empty space instead of advertisement. Advertisement server believes it displays ads but in fact, it does not. Internet is a very quiet place with Pihole. It works differently from the ordinary ad-blocker and never slows the network down :slight_smile:

You can install it on the cheapest PiZero (priced something like 10 Euro) which runs on the USB port - very easy on the electric bill.

@Aravisian Dude, I don't know what to say! You saved me another 500 hours of fumbling, restoring and frustrating upon reinstalling everything. Idk how I can make up for all the help you already provided me with. It is working :pray: And the other program I wanted to have a port forwarded for and what made me open this thread in the first place, is also, for the first time, working :pray:

I don't know what to say, besides THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You really saved my black seatmeat.

And @FrenchPress thank you for sharing your experiences with me and preventing me from going crazy for the last hour :joy: :pray: Pihole sounds like a huge thing, wow! I didn't know this was even possible! Thank you 2 guys for being such outstanding supporters for this outstanding OS! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I work in customer service and what you are doing is far beyond 'average', so thank you from the bottom of my heart again!

What we just did above was a very risky move... just so you know.

Yet, we are all unpaid volunteers :slightly_smiling_face:

Hahaha I needed another word for that, as nothing's allowed here, so....seatmeat it was :smiley:

Alright! Thank you guys and gals then! :heart:

Yeah! I can totally sense now that it was suuuper dumb what I did and could've damaged my entire setup irreversibly! I'll think twice the next time or at least take some time to make sure I don't damage anything major. Thank you again :heart:

I know right???? This makes it even more valuable! I know (and you do too) people who get paid for that and aren't half as good as you guys (and gals hehe)
