Hi, ping not working inside qemu is a frequently encountered problem. See also the Hurd wiki:
[…] note that ping doesn't work with QEMU's user-networking stack. https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/qemu.html > root@guixygnu ~# herd status loopback > error: connect: /var/run/shepherd/socket: Connection refused This means that shepherd isn’t running. Can you reliably reproduce this? As it is this bug report does not contain enough information to be actionable as we cannot easily reproduce the problem. Could you please provide more information? Otherwise I’d like to close it. Thank you! -- Ricardo
