The code telling you there is no internet connection is the following:

     if ! ping -q -w 1 -c 1 8.8.8.8  &> /dev/null; then
       format_center_literals "[${CRed}!$CClr] ${CBYel}No internet connection found!$CClr"
       echo -e "\n\n$FormatCenterLiterals"

       format_center_literals "[ ${CSRed}CANNOT CONTINUE${CClr} ]"
       echo -e "$FormatCenterLiterals"
       sleep 5

      return 3
   fi

Have you access to the google dns at 8.8.8.8? If not, this is most likely what causes the bug.
Try running

ping -q -w 1 -c 1 8.8.8.8; echo $?

and please tell us if there are any errors.

If you want to modify the code yourself to circumvent this, it's located in lib/installer/InstallerUtils.sh beginning on line 234

Right so apparently i don't actually have access to the google dns at 8.8.8.8 nor at 8.8.4.4 smh; I keep getting 100% packet loss and i tried looking it up and got bored kek, so i decided to change the code a little so that i ping myself and it worked!

Modified code:

 if ! ping -q -w 1 -c 1 192.168.0.101  &> /dev/null; then
   format_center_literals "[${CRed}!$CClr] ${CBYel}No internet connection found!$CClr"
   echo -e "\n\n$FormatCenterLiterals"

   format_center_literals "[ ${CSRed}CANNOT CONTINUE${CClr} ]"
   echo -e "$FormatCenterLiterals"
   sleep 5

  return 3
fi

I changed the 8.8.8.8 to 192.168.0.101 which is the static ip assigned to my laptop and everything worked fine and proper thanks to you!

Doesn't make sense I guess.

@Dick456 Huh, weird that you can't ping Google's DNS servers. Are you in China or something? You don't need to answer that, I'm just curious.

[SyntaxError843]

No i live in the middle east and it is weird indeed, but like what's the point of pinning them anyway?

[MPX4132]

@Dick456 We ping Google's DNS servers because they're usually always guaranteed to be up. When fluxion is launched it performs a dependency check. If dependencies are missing, they're queued to be installed. Before we continue the installation we've got to assure we have a connection to the internet. We test test the connection by pinging Google's DNS servers.

[mishash1998]

When you on Optima WiFi your ping to ANY is blocked by ISP. The only IPs you can ping is 10.240.205.161 ( their DNS ). You also can ONLY use 10.240.205.161 as DNS - others will be blocked. Big brother... But this... "We ping Google's DNS servers because they're usually always guaranteed to be up"? imho - bad coding. after spending time on manually installing and configuring missing components (dhsp, php bc etc ) - now you saying it is just about ping 8.8.8.8.

"No Internet Connection Found", yet i am connected and have internet access

I have the same issue. The ping command doesnt seems to work under kali linux.

you can find the file in /fluxion/lib/installer...
Just change 8.8.8.8 to your ethernet or wifi adapter ip address.
