Hi Smokeping-users
I am new to Linux. I use Ubuntu 17.10. First I downloaded and extracted the smokeping-2.7.1.tar.gz archive and extracted it and tried to find something to run directly without luck. Then I opened Terminal and, in short, I did this: > henrik@Henrik-L570:~/smokeping-2.7.1$ sudo apt install smokeping > henrik@Henrik-L570:~/smokeping-2.7.1$ smokeping > Note: logging to syslog as local0/info. > Daemonizing /usr/sbin/smokeping ... > creating /var/run/smokeping/smokeping.pid: Permission denied > henrik@Henrik-L570:~/smokeping-2.7.1$ smokeping --check > Configuration file '/etc/smokeping/config' syntax OK. > henrik@Henrik-L570:~/smokeping-2.7.1$ smokeping > Note: logging to syslog as local0/info. > Daemonizing /usr/sbin/smokeping ... > creating /var/run/smokeping/smokeping.pid: Permission denied As you can see I got a "Permission denied". I want to monitor my ISP because at arbitrary times both Ubuntu and Windows can't seem to connect to the Internet. So what do I do now? Here is a full copy of the Terminal session: > henrik@Henrik-L570:~$ ls > Desktop examples.desktop Pictures snap > Documents Exodus-linux-x64 Public Templates > Downloads Music smokeping-2.7.1 Videos > henrik@Henrik-L570:~$ cd smokping-2.7.1 > bash: cd: smokping-2.7.1: No such file or directory > henrik@Henrik-L570:~$ cd smokeping-2.7.1 > henrik@Henrik-L570:~/smokeping-2.7.1$ smokeping > The program 'smokeping' is currently not installed.
