I am running Ubuntu 8.04. used ipblock for months with no problems. about a week ago the program began to freeze on the start up. tried unistalling and purging it and reinstalling. did not help.
can some one help me out?

From the menu launcher and "sudo ipblock -g" I get the same result. A small box with partially formed gui that eventually hangs and goes grey with no error messages. I am using Sun's java. It was working quite well, until this happened. I have no idea if it something I did, but since everything else installed that requires java still works, I'm not sure.
I do get ipblock to work in terminal mode only, though. It just means leaving a terminal window open, instead of the program window.
I wish I had more info to give. Maybe if I knew something more specific to look for.

Could you post the output of "sudo java -verbose -jar /usr/share/java/ipblockUI.jar" and perhaps "grep -r upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log" to see if a upgraded package caused some issues.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Both of these produce a significant amount of information. The first one exceeds the number of lines the buffer for my terminal will hold.
I did the "sudo java -verbose -jar /usr/share/java/ipblockUI.jar" and the output in the terminal cruzed right along until that last line and then hung. I hope this is enough, but I can send more if you need. The grep command showed a huge amount of upgrades. Is there anything I should be looking for?

That was enough information to reproduce it on hardy ! I just installed java-gcj-compat and it froze. gcj conflicts with sun's java and shouldn't be still available since a free openjdk exists.
To fix it I would remove every package that contains *gcj* (especially gcj-4.1, gcj-4.2, java-gcj-compat). Most packages that need gcj depend on a metapackage java2-runtime which is provided by sun-java[5-6]-jre, so it shouldn't remove any wanted packages.

This has solved my problem with the malformed GUI that eventually bombs out. I wonder why those were even installed? I am pretty sure that I hadn't selected them for any reason.
Thanks again!

Nobody, I must thank you again. The 'gcj' files WERE the problem on the second computer I've been trying to install IPBlock on. I should mention that I didn't uninstall everything with 'gcj' in it as that would have meant uninstalling Open Office--but the files you specified did the trick, and at the end of a long and frustrating effort. Thanks again.

I am also running Ubuntu 8.04. I use iplist since six months without problems. Until yesterday.
Yesterday morning I downloaded the new version (0.23), and after the installation a I was surprised. I tryed a few sites (what I know) and the program did not blocked them. I uninstalled it and after back to 0.22 version. It works perfectly. Can anybody help me? Thank you!

Are you using Sun's java VM and are there any messages if you start it with "sudo ipblock -g" ?
I ended up with an identical sounding issue.
From the menu launcher and "sudo ipblock -g" I get the same result. A small box with partially formed gui that eventually hangs and goes grey with no error messages. I am using Sun's java. It was working quite well, until this happened. I have no idea if it something I did, but since everything else installed that requires java still works, I'm not sure.

Could you post the output of "sudo java -verbose -jar /usr/share/java/ipblockUI.jar" and perhaps "grep -r upgrade /var/log/dpkg.log" to see if a upgraded package caused some issues.
How much of this output do you want?
Both of these produce a significant amount of information. The first one exceeds the number of lines the buffer for my terminal will hold.

I've installed latest version (2.21), I get this error message:
'/usr/sbin/ipblock: 341: LOG_IPTABLES: parameter not set'
Anyone can help me? ;)
It looks like you're using an old config file. "sudo cp /usr/share/doc/iplist/examples/ipblock.conf /etc" should fix it.
Thanks a lot, I've resolved my problem ;)

The version 0.23 ignores http and dns by default.
Thank you for the wery quick solve!It works alredy perfectly!
