Error was "ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted". I Googled the message and ran "setcap cap_net_raw=ep /bin/ping", which corrected the problem.
I mention this because this has never happened to me before with a Siduction installation.

thank you sir, I also got this error and was able to fix it with your instructions.
Brilliant!!! Thanks
hello,
new siduction user here but long time debian testing user :D
i had the same problem yesterday with a fresh siduction installation,the solution i found was
chmod u+s `which ping'
and i was wondering why did this happen in the first place..and if this is a safe solution (i assume it is not a good idea to have wrong permission on ping)
hi,
apt-get update && apt-get install --reinstall iputils-ping
should solve that problem

thanx!
the problem was introduced by two things: package changes in debian and problems with aufs - both resolved with the next release, we dropped aufs, use overlayfs right now with a own kernel patch for this.
