[Adam Heckler]

I don't know if you guys read my thread or not (
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409375), but I am having pretty
much the exact same problem. The reason that I want FS to run on bootup is
because I often play Xbox over my network's connection, and it's convenient
to have the GUI there for rules creation, modification, ports, etc. Here's
my story:

I installed FS and it worked fine, it ran me through the wizard and
everything. I added "firestarter" to my startup list, but when I rebooted it
said the FS could not start because I wasn't root. So I went back and edited
the startup entry to read "sudo firestarter." But then, on reboot, nothing
happened, no message, no Firestarter GUI, nothing.

I then edited my sudoers file as per the guide of FS's website. I added
"adam ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter" to the end of it, and then
edited the startup list entry for FS to read "sudo firestarter
--start-hidden." This should have worked according to the guide, but it
didn't. Nothing happened on boot.

I was then told to try this out: "xhost +local:root && gksudo firestarter".
I put that in my startup list and rebooted. Nothing. I tried it in terminal
and it only started FS, not allowed it to run on boot. At this point, I
began experimenting with all sorts of combinations of gksudo, sudo,
firestarter, etc. trying to get this damn thing to work. Nothing I did could
seem to bring up the GUI on boot.

Soon I got disappointed and just decided to learn iptables from terminal,
but Synaptic spit out some errors when I tried to uninstall FS. ("E:
firestarter: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1")
Anyway, I think I've managed to uninstall it now, but I'm not 100% sure. Is
there any way to manually look and see if all the files are gone?

Sorry for the long email, but I'm not getting any more help in the forums
and I'm hesitant to keep bumping my thread. Thanks a ton guys!
