[sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Problem

[<lar...@ea...>]

Hello fellow Autopsy users,

How I wish I were a fellow also but I can't get Autopsy to work. I'm running Linux Mint 18 on an ASUS laptop with plenty of memory and hard disk space. I downloaded Sleuthkit and Autopsy with apt-get and everything seem find.  The binaries are there and seem to work fine. However when I start Autopsy I get a message inside a terminal window to send my browser to localhost:9999 autopsy, but my browser says that it can not make a connection.  Do I have to set up my local interface like I do for a wireless connection? Also looking at my running process after the terminal window with the message in it is still up there is no Autopsy process.

Have read till I'm blue in the face and don't know what to do now. This is the first time I have asked for help on a users list so I hope that I'm doing it right.  I mostly struggle through myself but this one's got me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I tried the archives but didn't know how to search for a specific topic...

thank you in advance.
