GUFW not launching on Ubuntu 17.04
The authentication window pops-up but then I'm getting a bunch of errors (in the console) and nothing happens. Looked up similar issues on the Internet and tried the following:
- updating the OS
- installing: python-gobject, python-gi, dev-tools
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Not sure what, if anything you might have done to cause this. Upgrade Ubuntu? How did you install UFW? From the repos?
At any rate , that is sort of a non-specific error and might occur with other packages as well.
As a first step try updating (“dist-upgrade”) to see if you have outdated or held packages.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f
If that fails as a second step try re-installing python-apt
See https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/python-apt
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-apt
You could shorten those two commands, but I hope it is more clear to demonstrate the reinstallation of python-apt.

I've installed GUFW simply with:sudo apt-get install gufwunfortunately none of the steps you provided solved the problem. Upgrading Ubuntu had no effect either. What helped was a complete reinstall of the system. My guess is I must have messed something up with the default python. Thanks for looking into this

I've encountered the same problem, and it's really not easy to find a good fix (they're really very few results on google), so my solution is to fully reinstall pygobject in accordance with https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0
sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0
pip3 install pycairo
pip3 install PyGObject
(You need to apt install python3-pip beforehand.)
It worked perfectly for me.
