So I launch fern-wifi and the application gui shows update to the application is available. I restarted the application as recommended by the fern-wifi gui, but the app no longer opens even after rebooting kali.
How do I fix this? What command should I run?
/tmp/fern-wifi-cracker < this is new update, copy it and replace old directory in /usr/share/
Thanks. however, I just found out that it's the shortcut that gets 'borked' when the application update button is pressed. Now I can only launch the application by navigating to the fern-wifi directory from command line.Quote:

Try Sys Tools, Prefs, Main Menu. The rest is in there.
Open terminal n type:

chmod +x /usr/share/fern-wifi-cracker/execute.py
@xhunt

@echo $LuciXFER - thanks for your tip- I am still finding my way around kali.Quote:

another fix is open terminal type in rm '/usr/share/applications/kali-fern-wifi-cracker.desktop'
than create a new text file in /usr/share/applications
add
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=fern-wifi-cracker
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=python '/usr/share/fern-wifi-cracker/execute.py'
Icon=kali-menu.png
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=05-01-wireless-tools;
X-Kali-Package=fern-wifi-cracker
and rename the text file kali-fern-wifi-cracker and everything will work.
It's just about execution permits to the file...
thanks much it workQuote:

open a terminal in a new /usr/share/fern-wifi-cracker/
type chmod +x execute.py (enter)..............
close this terminal
open another terminal in root dir & type fern-wifi-cracker
I followed the steps to fix the issue with fern. It worked, however the gui is broken : no pictures are displayed and it is very hard to use it now.
I get "No such file or directory" in terminal
boh! in my kali64(vm)worked-fine!!!!
