armitage error in BackTrack 5

Sorry if my English is very bad.

For days I've had a problem with armitage, and I can not do anything because I get the following error:

Code:

What I can do to fix this?

I am also getting the same error when I run Quick OS Scan under Armitage. I just downloaded the 32 bit VMWare on Aug 1st. I ran msfupdate and I'm at v4.0.1-dev [core:4.0 api:1.0] svn: r13557. I can connect to msprcd just fine. But When I go to Hosts -> Nmap_Scan -> Quick Scan (os detect), I get the following:

I have also tried other IP addresses in my house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thansk in advance

Make sure you're running armitage by typing armitage. Some people (out of habit!), like to do:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
./armitage

This is the path to pain. This program directly runs Armitage. If you type: which armitage, you'll notice it's a different program. The armitage executed from your $PATH sets up the environment that Metasploit runs from.

Chances are if you're getting database gem errors and other whacky stuff, this is the cause as well.

I have tried everything and still the same problem, I updated to version r1 and still the same problem.

I'm desperate can not use armitage

HI! im with the same problem here, GNOME 32bit. I already make it work, trying, updating, and rebooting, some random way its worked, but never work again.NOw im stuck at the same error.

Can anyone help us?

Got another question, loaded Armitage, on console says something like metasploit updated 30 days ago, no mather what i do keeps the same.

What should i do?

BY the way, i recently made work with KDE, then reboot and no more.But i prefer gnome, flawkness, smooth,its perfect.

PLease someone give us some advise.

Thanks!!!!

same problem here...

just test using mysql and postgresql still not working :(:(:(:(
