Hello. I am social science research student researching deviancy, moral panic and online policing. I have a quick question. I installed whonix (XFCE) on a Windows 10 host today. It ran great. Later in the day after sufficient use and a long break, I returned. whonix now would not connect. whonix check revealed that I had a connectivity problem and needed an update. This seemed a bit odd to me. While I am new to whonix, I’ve never had a working linux system all of a sudden not able to connect without an update. Could someone please check out this update and report back? I’m very curious, so that I can look further into it, if this system has already been compromised. (note the warning at the end: “WARNING: The initramfs image may not contain cryptsetup binaries…”) Thanks guys!
