comment:
:I tried to open the Firewall option from Applications-> Others-> Firewall. But then it suddenly showed me this bug.
:When I tried to reopen it, then it did not show any bug, but it did not open. It showed, "Starting Firewall..." and then it was gone. Nothing happened.

Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2012-07-18 07:48:43 UTC
There seems to be a problem with your language setting. Even smolt reports this:
:Language: [Invalid UTF-8]

What is the content of LANG? Use: echo $LANG

Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2013-02-04 11:09:50 UTC
*** Bug 907057 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 udo.rader 2013-02-09 09:38:04 UTC
ok, posting to the duplicate bug as well.

If it fails with my locale settings, I think something is really broken ...

---------CUT----------
% locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER=a4
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
---------CUT----------

I can start up the application like this:

---------CUT----------
% LC_ALL=C system-config-firewall
---------CUT----------

but LC_ALL is not set for a reason

Comment 4 udo.rader 2013-02-18 14:33:44 UTC
and here another, identical issue with a completely new F18 install:

---------CUT----------
[root@luna ~]# system-config-firewall

	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 04:10:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 12:52:26 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
