where's ufw installed?

[HyperUniverse]

Hi,

After installing, as root:

Code: Select all

apt install ufw

I next try to enable it:

Code: Select all

ufw enable

but I get this message:

Code: Select all

bash: ufw: command not found

I try to reinstall it and it says it's already installed the latest version

Anybody can help?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

sudo ufw enable

[HyperUniverse]

yes, adding sudo it worked
but why?
I was already root in that terminal . . . !

could it be a glitch?
or am I not understanding something?

While you were in terminal, did you have a "#" or a "$" before you started typing your command?

Code: Select all

root@pcname:/home/myname# ufw enable
bash: ufw: command not found

Well, you were in root......


I guess if it worked with sudo, it was indeed installed. I just tried in root instead of using sudo, and it worked either way for me. :shrug:

well, from the other topic that dilberts_left_nut pointed at, I get it it was because I didn't add my name to sudoers;
from the same (other) topic, I understand that what was working for the last 20 years, was now fixed, so it won't work anymore;

anyway, I know what to do now, just in case something similar happens later.

Thanks all.
Regards
