Thanks. After doing some other stuff, I issued your terminal command and it worked!
My history:
>I installed Kali Linux 2017.1 on a bootable USB 3.0 flash drive.
>Kali had no sound and no network manager.
>Later at a library, Kali recognized my Ethernet connection.
>Using apt-get, I installed Synaptic.
>Using Synaptic, I installed Wicd network manager and Mousepad text editor.
>A huge update using Synaptic ended abruptly (probably my error, a "control C").
>At the next session I was advised there were broken packages, I followed the instructions:
>MESSAGE FROM SYNAPTIC:
"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
After running dpkg, I continued the Synaptic update: I used "Edit/Fix Broken Packages", and "Settings/Filters/Broken".
The update successfully morphed my system up to Kali Linux 2017.2.
>Next, over a few short sessions I did more updates and also installed:
Konsole, PcManFm, Dolphin, Gedit, and Chromium.
Need to install Sublime Text 3.
>I mistakenly thought that Pulse Audio was installed. It wasn't.
There did exist a folder called "/etc/pulse/" which contained the single file called "client.conf"
>TO CURE NO SOUND CONTROL IN PANEL AND NO SOUND:
->two lines in etc/pulse/client.conf:
; auto-connect-localhost = no
; auto-connect-display = no
changed the lines to
auto-connect-localhost = yes
auto-connect-display = yes
>PER advice at:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/volu...ol-gone/2363/2
I installed
->PAMAN package (Pulse Audio Manager)
->PASYSTRAY (Pulse Audio)
>Still no sound
>Finally, I used Synaptic to search for PulseAudio. Synaptic advised that PulseAudio was _NOT_ installed.
Using Synaptic, I installed PulseAudio.
>Still no sound.
>I applied your terminal command as follows:
==ENTERED TERMINAL COMMAND FOUND AT KALI LINUX FORUM:
root@kali:~# systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio
==RESULT:
Created symlink /root/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/pulseaudio.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.se
Created symlink /root/.config/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/pulseaudio.socket -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.soc
>Finally, there is sound. Now I can take the Kali online tutorials.
