add this line QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 in ~/.profile file. or (ie: system env var).

export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

[ricardolink]

i have the same problem here... can u help me out ?

[mh4x0f]

Based on a google search this looks like a Qt/KDE problem. Alternatively, if possible, try a different OS/distro.

[becare]

sudo nano /etc/environment

Add this line
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

Enjoy!

[ruggboy]

becare.... You are Awesome, I'm sure you know this.

[MaximeSoulie]

sudo nano /etc/environment

Add this line
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

Enjoy!

Oh yes ! Thanks !

Hi guys, this didn't seem to work for me.

Any further advice? Also, I don't know if this matters or not, the environment file didn't have anything in it at all until I placed the code you guys had mentioned. Should it have had some sort of coding in the file?

After updating it with the code QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 I continued to get the same problem, nothing had changed.

Thanks in advance.

@999jay999, maybe you are missing some prerequisites for Qt. What is your error message and which distro do you use?

I'm using Kali 2017.1 on Debian 8.x 64 bit in VMware. I get the following when attempting to run wifi-pumpkin:

The environment file only contains QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

I have now created a new Kali system and it seems to be working completely fine on there. However, it would still be worth knowing how to fix this issue; I have all the main programs installed in the 1st Kali VM I created.

Thanks

I am using kali linux, even i was facing this issue after lot of research i got to know kali doesnt allow any app run as root. I tried switching to a user and execute the program "woooolaaaa" its working perfectly.

thanku bro

sudo nano /etc/environment

Add this line
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

Enjoy!

thanks! works on System76/PopOS version

The provided solutions are not working for me...

I'm connecting to my Raspberry Pi (Kali Linux) through VNC.
The weird thing is when i tried @3bu1 solution the program always asked for sudo rights, so i'm not able to run it as a non-sudo user...

@mh4x0f is there any other fix/workaround for this issue?

Or can i somehow start the program as command-line only, so i can access it through SSH ?

[marianantononofrei]

sudo nano /etc/environment

Add this line
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

Enjoy!

It actually worked!

[ftmzhrsckldr]

I logged in as root and got this error. Without root, the problem is solved.

Try this:
