dont even bother reading this bug, it was posted before it was known that firewalld was extremely out of date. im ashamed to of posted it =D
this programs closely tied to network manager however it's not in pristine condition. i emerged with gui use flag. networkmanager's firewall zones are firewalld firewall zones. this program doesn't require fully restarting the firewall to update rules so active connections are not dropped. this firewall's got good easy to understand command line rules, supports masquerading, port (and port range) forwarding, nat, and full block/drop/accept rules are easy to craft.
step1: firewall-applet >> polkits asking for passwords when i dont have a root user enabled. i have a wheel with nopasswd. resolved by bottom entry. (im in the polkitd group but apparently that's not enough)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit
(resolved for me though probably not in the most optimal way)
step2: the applet shows red circle with x when daemon is not running and a brick wall when it is. however hovering shows a tooltip or what ever saying "no connection to the firewalld daemon"
step3: firewalld's init script is spewing errors all over the place! see attached file
step4: some more psychotic init behavior
firewall-cmd --state && echo "Running" || echo "Not running"
Not running
ps aux | grep -i firewalld
root 2533 0.0 0.2 205352 21736 ? Ssl 09:56 0:00 /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/sbin/firewalld
sudo /etc/init.d/firewalld status
- status: started
stopping the init was broken but i fixed that with a pkill -9 firewalld stop entry. just sheash, more hoops? yup more hoops to jump through
