Briefly describe your issue below:
i wanted to test out fern wifi cracker but when i went to try it out for the first time nothing happened just 2 blank screens popup here is a screenshot
hello, fern works perfectly for me on parrot 4.1 and 4.2
could you please help us reproducing the bug?
a first step you should perform is to open a terminal window (ALT+T) and launch the following command
sudo fern-wifi-cracker
then post here a screenshot of the terminal output
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
Extension: 130 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
Resource id: 0x15b
it just repeats after this so it is too long to screen shot
run the following command and retry
sudo dist-upgrade
the dist-upgrade utility will fix eventual broken packages and perform a full system upgrade
after this, your system will be provided with all the latest system patches available
p.s.
remember that yours is a particular non-reproducible exception probably caused by a wrong system usage and it does not represent how the parrot system actually is, but i think that if the bug was caused at a package manager level, then dist-upgrade is going to fix it
it doesnt work do i need to shut down the parrot os is there any other way to repair it
i restarted my laptop and when i turned it on it prompts the login screen once i login the screen goes white and grey screen look how do i undo this `sudo dist-upgrade`` i dont even care about the tools anymore if it is so difficult for beginners i just want the distro to be working again
the distro works out of the box.
you install it and you can easily upgrade it, install additional packages from apt or snap etc.
there is something terribly wrong, not in parrot, but in your particular setup
my suggestion is to download parrot 4.2 beta from deb.parrotsec.org/parrot/iso/testing (preferably the home edition)
then make sure to create the live usb device with www.etcher.io
and install the system again
