Lol... :)
When things on my comp stop working all of a sudden, I just reboot and everything seems to be working again. But I see someone might have help solve your problem. Good luck.
Thank you for that- I can’t really follow what they are saying- I’m not too good with this stuff-
Yes- found the problem thanks to Cats1 post- it was firejail-
I don’t know anything about firejail. I use this firewall, http://gufw.org
More info here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw
I have it set to Allow outgoing and Deny incoming with the profile of Home (as opposed to Office or Public)
i sue that firewall too- i was hoping though to use firejail as it’;s a sandbox which further protects the computer- linux is pretty safe, but could always be made safer- just wish firejail was easier to install and to use and set up whitelists and blacklists like other sandbox programs do
I can’t really understand how to create a blacklist/whitelist in firejail- don’t even know where to put the commands- too complicated for my limited knowledge of linux
Did you reboot?
? Several times- it was the firejail that was causing the issue-
I don't know what the blue blazes their creators are doing, but I'm liking it less and less.
i know, me too- I swear they hire people just to mess with people by creating things that break or flat o ut just don’t work anymore-
