I am not sure of ufw, for the regular firewall, you could do this.

service iptables save
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off

/etc/ufw/ufw.conf: sets whether or not ufw is enabled on boot

Install sysv-rc-conf , run it as root, and uncheck ufw or iptables.
Ubuntu should have gufw installed.

Or even better learn how iptables work and setup up ufw properly.
The default is Allow all outgoing and Deny incoming. Which at least on my laptop does not block any apps or commands from working.
