A firewall question

[pilotgi]

I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I don’t have firewall settings under networking. I could only find it with YaST.

Can anyone tell me why?

Mod edit: Moved to a dedicated topic.

Is the firewall active? (Refer to the command I already gave to determine that or check the active services via Cockpit.)

Here’s a screenshot of those commands:

My built-in wireless chip isn’t detected so there’s no wlan0. My question is still about the firewall settings missing in Settings. Cockpit isn’t installed.

I’m also getting this if I restart firewalld:

firwalld.service is not firewalld.service…

Please use Code-Tags, see this link:

And think about bash-completion

At first, I didn’t even see my typo and I was wondering what the heck you were talking about. Ok, I’ll use code-tags in the future.

Well, you didn’t explain what UI you were looking at in your initial post. Which “Settings” are you referring to?

If you want to use a comprehensive graphical firewall utility, I suggest you install fierwall-config(application of the same name)…
sudo zypper in firewall-config

firewall-config

I thought that the screenshot you posted in this thread : https://forums.opensuse.org/t/setting-up-a-wireless-printer/195041/6was the KDE/Plasma6 settings utility. I looked at firewall-config but that didn’t look like your screenshot either. What is it?

[deano_ferrari]

The topic was for a Leap 16 user, where Cockpit is primarily used for graphical system administration. The screenshot I posted was from Cockpit’s Networking page, not a KDE Plasma configuration tool.

KDE Plasma desktop settings are generally user-oriented, although there are some exceptions, such as the printer configuration utility it provides.

It is, as I described in my previous post, firewalld’s native graphical management interface. YaST and Cockpit both provide basic management of firewalld, but firewall-config is the dedicated GUI for configuring firewalld itself.

I see it now. That screenshot is Cockpit. I posted on the other thread that it wasn’t installed. It’s installed now.

Edit: Posted this before I saw Deano’s response.

I moved your posts (and related replies) into a dedicated topic, as the other discussion was primarily about printer configuration with Leap 16, and you’re using Tumbleweed (based on your recent topics).
