Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu even better. ufw tries to be very careful about its files so that if there are anomalies in the files or paths, the administrator will be notified instead of executing potentially unprotected code.
Please do: $ ls -ld / drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2008-01-23 18:08 / If the output does not look like the above, then there is a problem with your system. You can do: $ sudo chown root:root / You should then check the directories under '/' with: $ ls -ld /* All of these should be owned by 'root'. If they are not, there is a more serious problem with your system, and you should probably ask for help in the support tracker. Please visit https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion'. I am going to close this report as it does not appear to be a bug in ufw. If the directories do have proper ownership (ie ufw is complaining when it shouldn't), please feel free to re-open the bug, along with the output of 'ls -ld <dir>', where <dir> is the directory that ufw is complaining about. ** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jamie Strandboge (jamie-strandboge) Status: New => Invalid -- ERROR: uid is 0 but '/' is owned by 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
