Hello.

 

I will post this topic as an answer to vismay's topic published on 1 August.

 

Two fixes

 

1. Use the tracepath command instead. Example below :

tracepath www.google.com

2. Fix occured error messages with these commands (type them one by one) :

sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install traceroute

3. Test the traceroute command tracing www.google.com :

traceroute www.google.com

Glad to help.

@nonamehere:-

 

Had to fix your topic link; not sure if you'd manually edited it, but you'd made a right hash of it!

 

Now works.
