marionnet.org — a virtual network laboratory

Contact

Marionnet has no contact form: all communication goes through Launchpad, the platform that also hosts its source code. Discussions there stay public, so an answer given to one person may help the next one. In both cases below, you will need a Launchpad account, which is free to create: Launchpad sends you to Ubuntu One, Canonical’s sign-in service, to set it up.

Reporting a defect or a crash

Defects are reported on the bug tracker. To help us reproduce the problem, please include in your report the distribution you use, how you installed Marionnet (apt or dnf repository, precompiled tarball, source code), its version as printed by marionnet --version, and what you did just before the problem occurred. If Marionnet crashed, run it again with the --debug option, saving all its output to a file, and attach that file to the report:

marionnet --debug > marionnet-debug.txt 2>&1

If the problem occurs during installation, section 6 of the full installation guide (“When something does not work”) may solve it before you get in touch: it matches the most common symptoms with their cause.
