Common issues
I broke my VM!
Did you take a snapshot? If yes just revert back and continue as normal. If not (or you can't for somereason) you probably messed up the shell during shellshock. Please take a look at the VM Recovery Guide
I don't have a network/internet connection!
- Make sure that your host (the computer running the vm) has a network connection. This does not appy if you have an M1/2 Mac.
- Try to
ping 9.9.9.9
. If you don't get a response see the below sections on my network adaptor is ruined. - Try to
ping quad9.com
. If you do get a response, please come to office hours; Your issue is beyond what a text document can fix. (Hopefully you have a snapshot!) - If step 2 worked, but step 3 did this is likely a DNS issue. Run this command
echo nameserver 9.9.9.9 | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
and see if it works now! - If all else fails, come to OH or revert/rebuild the VM.
My network adaptor is ruined
Go to OH. You will likely need to rebuild the VM or revert to a snapshot.
FAQ for labs:
- Where is the Lab Guidelines?
- What should I cite?
- When in doubt cite it! Generally speaking the lecture slides/content and material from recitation and OH is okay without a citation.
- I don't know what to do.
- That's not really a question, but go to OH! Some of these labs are designed to be a bit vague to get you to explore and experiment on your own!
