Briefly describe your issue below:

I got this message while I want to enable SSH service:
#systemctl enable ssh

What version of Parrot are you running? 4.9.1

What method did you use to install Parrot? Install from Live system

Configured to multiboot with other systems? I have not any other OS

try this:

sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh

Should work :slight_smile:

No!
I want to use Parrot Security for the penetration test, So I have not any time to debug this distro while it using the testing version of Debian.

@Mohammad_Badie_Zadeg I ran into the same problem, but the issue resolved itself after running apt update && apt upgrade -y and restarting.
