firewall-config freezes; cannot config firewalld anymore

English Network/Internet

Firewalld is running ok, but when I try to configure it from Yast, the config tool just freezes up.

I tried running firewall-config manually from the terminal and the same thing happens.

The messages in the terminal are this:

behne:~ # firewall-config

(firewall-config:18176): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:68:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-x is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

(firewall-config:18176): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:69:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-y is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

(firewall-config:18176): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:73:46: The style property GtkScrolledWindow:scrollbars-within-bevel is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.543:/org/fedoraproject/FirewallD1: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

It just hangs there until I kill the process.

I have completely removed firewall-config, then reinstalled it with no improvement. Googling hasn’t turned up any relevant solutions.

Any ideas?

Just in case the following are relevant here…
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1290327
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237260
In particular, try removing /var/lib/ebtables/lock with

rm -rf /var/lib/ebtables/lock

systemctl restart firewalld

then see if you can start the firewall-config GUI successfully.
