Briefly describe your issue below:

so i recently updated my virtual Os to the newest version, it was fine that same night after it was done updating, however; the next day when i try to run any programs, download packages, etc, i would receive an error message.

When i try to execute apt-get update , it would give me an error message saying :

Err:1 http://deb.parrotsec.org/parrot parrot InRelease
Something wicked happened resolving ‘deb.parrotsec.org:http’ (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
W: Failed to fetch http://deb.parrotsec.org/parrot/dists/parrot/InRelease Something wicked happened resolving ‘deb.parrotsec.org:http’ (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

with this error, i am unable to run metalsploit, everything i do, i get an error. TwT

Same issue. I think it’s something about the internet connection cuz i wasn’t be able to access the internet (When i used firefox the error was: Server not responding or something similar). I’ve just reinstalled the OS and now everything should be fine. Probabily there are better metods butt… if u want to do this make sure to save ur files.

Try updating again and you probably want to change your source list you want “…/parrot parrot main contrib nonfree”

I know it’s alter But
Are you connected with internet
If yes then
Try

sudo anonsurf start && apt update

It could be the internet connection, however i am not entirely sure, since i am able to surf firefox, stream videos, etc. But might have to involve something related to connection problems. I will definitely take note on that. Thanks for the response .

Thank you for the response. I will try this method. Hopefully it’ll work TwT

I am going to try and reinstall parrot os , and try this out the third time. Since the 2nd attempt i made yesterday, i also re-encountered the same errors. Thank you for all the helpful response, everyone.

You were able to acces firefox from parrot (in the vm) or from other os (non vm)?
