ping does not work. gnome-nettool builds improper commandl.

[Ayan George]

When you attempt to ping a host, the tool eventually opens an error notification saying:

  An error occurred when try to run 'Ping'
  /bin/ping ping -b -c 5 -n 10.0.1.1

The command that it built has an extra 'ping' in it.

Why has this bug marked as invalid?
I have the same problem in 12.10

[Matt Fischer (mfisch)]

This is working fine in 13.04. Can you try a newer version? Also what version of gnome-nettools is this to begin with? Run dpkg -l | grep gnome-nettool to find out.
