Description of problem: The Firewall panel applet is not functional Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.3-1.fc29 How reproducible: Install the Firewall panel applet and restart Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Firewall panel applet 2. Restart 3. Actual results: On an Intel machine (M58P 7479-A4U with E8400 CPU) there is no notification received that the firewall made the connection and the icon is not displayed on the gnome panel. On an Intel machine (M58P 7630-B81 with E8400 CPU) there is no notification received that the firewall made the connection and the icon is displayed dimly grey on black on the gnome panel. There is a tiny area at about the bottom centre of the icon that is mouse click sensitive and functions correctly for right and left clicks. On an AMD machine (H50-55 with A10-7800 processor) The icon is not displayed on the gnome panel. the notification for the connection being made is displayed properly. Expected results: Should get a notification from the applet that the firewall made the network connection and see the firewall panel applet on in the gnome panel with active mouse click sensitive area for right and left click selections. Additional info: The PCs were all clean installs on bare metal. Software and preference settings are the same on all machines. No issues / problems were seen during and installs or preference settings. Firewall Configureation runs fine all the the machines and the configuration and connections seem to be normal (no modifications made from default) Reinstall of the Firewall panel applet has been tried.
I made a mistake in regard to the Intel machine (M58P 7630-B81 with E8400 CPU). This machine does show the notification at start up that the connection is made. It is just the Intel machine (M58P 7479-A4U with E8400 CPU) that does not show the start up notification. I also tried reinstalling dbus-common and dbus-daemon to see if that would change things. There are no changes the bug persists as described above. The symptoms described above for each machine are 100% reproducible over several restarts.
This is still a bug in the latest updates for F29 and the 12/14 drop of rawhide.
This bug should be closed. Reference bug #1762485.
I think this bug should be closed. If I haven't heard different in a week, I will go ahead and close it.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '30'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 30 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
