Should be something like this (Just pasting everything, sorry but i can't do a finer problem isolation):

Thanks for reporting, now we need to see what's happening.
Guys, confirm you have the same issue.

P.S. ping, you can either look into your ~/.xsession-errors or start w3af from the terminal... and see if you have a similar error in output.

[ping]

would using  v1.6 make a difference or not?

everything works great with v1.6! :) i followed these instructions http://forum.backbox.org/software-support/any-possible-updates-for-w3af/
