In Kali Linux 2021.4 AMD64, I had to issue following EXTRA commands to make things running. These commands are NOT required in any other OS like Debian-11, Ubuntu-20, Raspberry Pi OS, Diet Pi etc.

$ sudo systemctl enable generate-pirehose-cert.service
$ sudo systemctl start generate-pirehose-cert.service

$ sudo systemctl enable piaware 
$ sudo systemctl start piaware

$ sudo systemctl enable lighttpd
$ sudo systemctl start lighttpd

$ sudo systemctl enable dump1090-fa
$ sudo systemctl start dump1090-fa

$ sudo systemctl enable skyaware978
$ sudo systemctl start skyaware978 

$ sudo systemctl enable dump978-fa
$ sudo systemctl start dump978-fa

What a crazy OS !

 

Kali Linux isn’t meant to run as an installed system, it’s meant to be run temporarily from a bootable device (DVD, USB stick) for things like penetration testing, security and forensics. That’s what it was designed for.

 

It is meant for full installation as well
