UFW issue.

[sickness]

Ok after yesterdays upgrade I noticed something wierd with UFW, I mean it will let me connect to my wireless but thats about it. It will not let me connect to any website or anything else, even my router page. After I turned it off it off everything works.

I tried to reinstall it but I get a funny output like this:

apt-get remove ufw
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gufw ufw

Hi Guys,
I can confirm sickness's problem too, exactly the same thing here.
Can connect to wifi, but no websites or router pages, but if I turn off ufw back to normal operation

Something else I just found, if ufw is left enabled but you allow incoming traffic web browsing still works.
I know this is probably just the same as turning ufw off, but thought it might help.
Could the way ufw interacts with iptables in kernel .34 be different to kernel .30?

It could be and I would advise checking that error against ubuntu and or google for more info.

Muts and I are unable to recreate the problem.

To fix UFW just go to:

/etc/ufw/

and edit before.rules and before6.rules, replace "-m conntrack --ctstate" to "-m state --state"

That did it for me.

From what I've read there seems like the bug is fixed in ufw 0.24, should be cool do upgrade this in BT R1
