@Matt, there aren't any errors in your journalctl output that I can see. Without removing the change to /lib/ufw/ufw-init yet, can you reboot until you see the problem, and then before you correct the issue, can you attach the output of all of the following:
1. journalctl --no-pager > /tmp/journal.full 2. dpkg -l > /tmp/dpkg.list 3. sudo tar -zcf /tmp/ufw.tar.gz /lib/ufw/ /etc/default/ufw /etc/ufw/ /usr/share/ufw/ 4. sudo ufw show raw > /tmp/ufw.raw ** Also affects: ufw (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ufw in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726856 Title: ufw does not start automatically at boot Status in ufw: Incomplete Status in ufw package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ufw source package in Xenial: Incomplete Status in ufw source package in Bionic: Incomplete Status in ufw source package in Cosmic: Incomplete Status in ufw source package in Disco: Incomplete Bug description: Whenever I boot into 17.10 ufw is always inactive, even though /etc/ufw/ufw.conf has this: # Set to yes to start on boot.
