[Bug 1031654] Re: Unable to connect
Hello, I am from China. For some (maybe) well known reasons, I can not connect to (and ping to) google. I can only connect to google by proxy. I know that Wallch does not work behind proxy. How can I use Wallch in China? I have tried the "crazy workaround" above, but it does not help. I can ping to 127.0.0.01. BTW, I know why @Parth get segmentation fault(core dump) maybe it is "127.0.0.01", not "127.0.0.1" it is because "google.com" is 10-ch long, and "127.0.0.01" should also be 10-ch long. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031654 Title: Unable to connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wallch/+bug/1031654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you It works indeed. Note When at step 7 Only one occurrence will be found, write out google.com (VERY carefully) and replace it with the ip you can ping, like 127.0.0.01 search and replace works fine using text to replace. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031654 Title: Unable to connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wallch/+bug/1031654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Interesting! Have you blocked google?

[Bug 1031654] Re: Unable to connect
I knew that problems like this may arise. If you are interested I have a quite crazy solution: Edit the wallch executable with a hex editor. I tried it but it is a bit tricky so you have to be careful and follow exactly the steps: You said that your company has blocked your outbound pings, but not the inbound (for example, you are able to ping localhost or 127.0.0.1, right?) I will write down what it worked for me. The 1st thing to check is whether you are able to ping 127.0.0.01 (yes *exactly* this address) with the command: ping -c 1 -w 2 127.0.0.01 If ping exits successfully read on, if not, then find a ten-letter ip adress or server that you can successfully ping and then read on, but where I say 127.0.0.01 replace it with the server/ip you can successfully ping: 1) Download Bless hex editor: sudo apt-get install bless 2) Copy wallch executable to your Desktop: cp /usr/bin/wallch ~/Desktop/ 3) Open Bless 4) Go to Edit-Preferences, and, under 'General', where it says 'Temporary Directory:' write in (do not select to open the dialog to select the /tmp direcotry, just write, type in:) /tmp and click on 'Close' 5) Open the wallch executable which is at your desktop (Ctrl+O and select it) 6) Press Ctrl+F, and on the right of the search bar, where it says 'as Hexadecimal', make it say 'as Text'. Type in the search field google.com and hit [Enter] 7) Only one occurrence will be found, write out google.com (VERY carefully) and replace it with the ip you can ping, like 127.0.0.01 8) After you are done, click on File-Save as and choose to save it at the desktop as wallch1 9) Right click on wallch1-Properties-Permissions-Allow executing file as program 10) That's it! Run wallch1, and, if the internet functions work nice then replace /usr/bin/wallch with this wallch1 and you are done! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031654 Title: Unable to connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wallch/+bug/1031654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
