ping is missing ?

[Vorms]

Hello, I can't use ping from the raspberry Xbian 12.2.
Is that some additional package I have to add ?

thanks in advance !

Best regards

ping is standard Debian, so it should work.

What command are you using and what error message do you get

Hello,
Many thanks for your reply.

log:
root@xbian:/bin# ping 192.168.1.1
bash: ping: command not found

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ dpkg-query -S $(which ping)
inetutils-ping: /bin/ping

which leads to:

Code:

sudo apt-get install inetutils-ping

Note that you probably want to check your system, as inetutils-ping is listed as a dependency of a system package (xbian-package-cec, which is a dependency of xbian-package-xbmc).

root@xbian:/bin# ping 192.168.1.1

Was the "#" a typo?

What about just ping 192.168.0.1?

It is part of the standard distro, it would not need to be installed.

Check to see if it exists in /bin and it's permissions. There should also be ping6

If it does not exist, then something has deleted it.
