Hi! Try the latest version of AltLinux and report if the issue still persists.

I'm having this same problem. Installed AltLinux from AUR and everything went perfectly well. But when I try to run the application, I get a pop up stating "AltLinux is unable to connect to the internet. Please connect to the internet and restart AltLinux."

Of course, I have a good internet connection. Running AltLinux from the terminal gives nothing strange.

I've found the problem..

In the file main.py the function connectioncheck() tries to check if the internet is working by using urlopen with the URL http://www.example.com which returns false.

Changing this URL to https://www.google.com fixed this issue.

Hi, could you check if https://www.example.com works for you?
