When using Parrot Support, please observe the following guidelines:
Read and search Parrot’s Documentation before you post. Also Check out our FAQ .
(Also look at Debian’s documentation and the documentation of the application or tool you are using)
At the bare minimum we expect you did the following:
You searched on the internet using a search engine of your choice.
You have searched the man pages available on your issue.
(If you don’t know what we’re talking about see Troubleshooting tl;dr use (ALT+T) to pull up Mate Terminal and execute:
man TOPIC
Where TOPIC is the item you’d like to learn about. If not found, check our troubleshooting page.)
Finally search the forum before you post. If you do not do these things, your post may be locked and/or deleted. No, we’re not out to get you, the internet is a very large space and with almost 8 billion humans on the planet someone has likely already ran into your problem.
Do not cross post or double post. Posting the same topic in more than one category only creates confusion and makes it hard to keep track on the various replies. Double posts will be deleted.
Be descriptive, check here for examples. Use a meaningful headline and try to make your question as clear as possible. Include as much information as possible such as what tool, OS version (Home versus Security) you are using, error messages, what you did that may have caused the problem etc. at minimum include the following:
