Ubuntu is in the same area. For some reason Ubuntu ships with traceroute6 installed, but not traceroute. Should one wish to stay with the command line, "aptitude search" and "apt-cache search" help. In all due respect, Debian Lenny (current stable release) ships with traceroute, traceroute6, and more. For good security reasons, it does not ship with the esteemed gnu C compiler. It can be easily installed if you want it and know why you want it.

Coming from FreeBSD, as I did, you're going to be extremely irked for a while, as I was, by everything that's *not* included in the distro. Ubuntu's built on Debian, and Debian is an extremely stripped-down distro. C Compiler? not included. Basic networking utilities? not included. Etcetera, etcetera. The bright side is that package management is done quite well; you'll just need to get into one of the package managers - and I do like the Synaptic GUI the best - browse through it and check off a ton of stuff, and then twiddle your thumbs for a while as it all downloads and installs. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- clift...@iandicomputing.com / clift...@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services ___ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org
Re: [LUAU] traceroute missing on Ubuntu 8*
apt-get install traceroute ought to install it. But I would second the choice of mtr. I find it much better than traceroute (although I've only done limited work with either). Another thing you could check is tracepath, and it may even already be installed on your system. Sorry, I would check right now on one of my Ubuntu boxes, but they seem to be down at the moment, so I'm not sure about the above advice.

[LUAU] traceroute missing on Ubuntu 8*
Aloha, I have to test networks with this HP Mini running Ububtu 8*. So I need traceroute. The normal Linux or FreeBSD command is the same. I searched and found many complaints about this with Ubuntu. That it is missing. Doesnt work from (root) sudo or usr. Acn anyone help me to install this utility and the rest that are needed for Network trouble shooting. Can I use aptget like Debian to install missing utilities. Is there away to load a full bash or tcsh shell on this box? So far the only thing I havent got running is the way to use a remote wireless connection like at Starbucks and my network printer I think needs a prrintcap file like I learned to do way back the day.
