Try:

Code: Select all

# systemctl status firewalld

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-05-19 08:32:34 BST; 35min ago

This is what I get.

You'll need to look at the full line systemctl -l status firewalld, but

Code: Select all

May 19 13:51:51 server firewalld[20052]: ERROR: Exception DBusException: org...e

will be the problem. I'm no DBus expert, so others may need to step in once you have the full error message.

This is the message that I get. What should I do now?

[MartinR]

The file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/FirewallD.conf on my system only permits root to own org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1 and its configuration file. What then is 'Connection ":1.757"'? This is the point at which DBus experts are needed, I've never fiddled with it.
