Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2012-09-25 13:17:00 UTC 
Any idea what you were doing at the time of the crash ?
What's the output of 'locale' command ?
Comment 3 Martin 2012-09-25 18:05:23 UTC 
Just firstbooted to latest Fedora 18.

locale:

    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
    LANG=cs.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="cs.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
Comment 4 Jiri Popelka 2012-09-26 10:05:21 UTC 
cs.UTF-8 is not a correct locale, see 'locale -a | grep cs', that's probably anaconda's fault.

But firewalld shouldn't crash and should use the fallback 'C' locale.
Comment 5 Jiri Popelka 2012-09-26 10:26:50 UTC 
Should be fixed upstream with this commit:

Comment 6 Steve Tyler 2012-09-29 04:50:37 UTC 
After rebooting from a clean install using Fedora-18-Nightly-20120928.14-x86_64-Live-desktop.iso.

Package: firewalld-0.2.7-1.fc18
OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Comment 7 Chuck Forsberg 2012-10-02 03:34:32 UTC 
Happened upon clicking firewall applet

Package: firewall-config-0.2.8-1.fc18
OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Comment 8 Steve Tyler 2012-10-02 04:49:12 UTC 
A work-around seems to be to set the Language in "System Settings:Region & Language". After making that change you may need to reboot -- logging out and logging in again is no longer possible if there is only one user ... :-(

Verify with:
$ locale

...

It might be a good idea to write something to a log file. If the locale is not set or is incorrect, that could indicate a bug. And since firewalld is a security app, a locale error could indicate a hack of some sort ...
