angela-d / autohosts Goto Github PK

I have been running this with sudo sh autohosts and im not seeing any entries in /etc/hosts at all... what is the deal, is this broken?

Hi,
Thanks for the programme. But I have some problems.

Install on Linux Mint 19.1 half works.
On install I get this

$sudo apt install ./autohosts.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'autohosts' instead of './autohosts.deb'
autohosts is already the newest version (2.0.0).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra gir1.2-geoclue-2.0 gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0
gir1.2-gweather-3.0 gjs libgjs0g python3-mutagen youtube-dl
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

Setting up autohosts (2.0.0) ...
dpkg: error processing package autohosts (--configure):

Grep version gives:

──╼ $grep "VERSION=" /usr/local/bin/autohosts
grep: /usr/local/bin/autohosts: No such file or directory

Then running autohosts returns:

Checking if devdom is installed (will execute devdom hosts update, if so)

Not sure where to go from here.

Also, is it possible to alter which version of Steven Black's hosts file is used?

Thanks!

i am unable to access mozilla.org with autohosts installed. i removed autohosts to confirm this issue.
i grepped the /etc/hosts file

cat /etc/hosts | grep mozilla.org

why and how is mozilla.org blocked?
all of the output has subdomains of mozilla.org blocked but not mozilla.org blocked. how do i unblock this?

Angela, I installed Autohosts (Ah) yesterday, but found today that I cannot install Firefox (Ff) extensions anymore. I moved the Ff subfolder from the Ah folder, restarted Ff, but still no joy so put the Ff subfolder back in the Ah folder.
I tried to uninstall Ah altogether but the Terminal tells me there is no Ah folder. I deleted the entire Ah folder, restarted Ff, no joy. I checked the etc/hosts folder: only the original entries are there, though there is a text at the top mentioning the merged lists.
Ubuntu will not uninstall Ah, and I am stuck with Ff to which I cannot extensions. Please advise.

P.S. I am new to Linux, hence my clumsiness.

Hi there
Newbie...:)
need help for command line in terminal for uninstalling
thanks
