Trying to bring up "armitage" in backtrack 5

[ericb]

Hello,

I've installed BackTrack 5. My understanding is that the program "Armitage" comes fully functional in BT5. After starting the "mysql" service, I typed "armitage" at the console and received the following message:

Warning: Uncaught exception: java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it. at gui.sl :217

Can someone please help in resolving this?

Thank you,

Thanks for the quick response. I typed "armitage" at the prompt without starting mysql, and received the same error message. Any other suggestions?

Ok, I have an update on this issue. I think that I was getting the java graphic error because i ran the "armitage" command from the startup BT instead of running the "starts" command. Once I did that, I opened a terminal and typed "armitage", and no longer got the graphic error.

Unfortunately, I'm still not able to connect because after I type armitage, I get a response of "killed". It seems like the process is getting killed. I'm not sure why. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,

The menu never comes up. I type armitage at the terminal and then is says "killed" on the next line, so it never gets to the menu to select ssl. It's like the process is killed as it tries to start.

ok well lets see is its a bad copy of armitage

cd /opt/framework3/msf3/data/armitage
svn up

try that first if that doesnt work do this

tar zxvf armitage042411.tgz
rm -r /opt/framework3/msf3/data/armitage
cp /root/armitage /opt/framework3/msf3/data/
cd /opt/framework3/msf3/data/armitage
svn up

Hello,

I still received the "killed" message after I performed the steps from the previous post.

root@root:/opt/framework3/msf3/data/armitage# armitage
killed

Could this be a bad copy perhaps?

Thanks
