How to type and display different languages in Parrot Security OS?
I've tried downloading the SCIM input method program. Normally I should be able to press CTRL + Space to switch languages, however, this hot-key is not working. How to enable Korean language typing and also to be able to display it in the terminal?

Okay so. I am running Manjaro on my Lenovo Ideapad 300-15IBR and I bought an external SSD. When I plug it in to the laptop, it works; I can read and write files on it, on USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. Problem is when I try to boot from it. It is not recognized in BIOS nor Boot Menu when I plug it in USB 3.0, but it works in 2.0 BIOS recognize it. Any idea what could be the problem?

I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad E15 Gen4, with the *Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 01)* PCI wifi card. I have a fresh dual-boot install of Parrot OS and I'm having a very hard time getting Wifi to work. Here is the full *lspci -v* output of the card:

I have tried using iwlwifi without success, this is my first time installing firmware or dealing with issues like this, so I'm willing to try again with a comprehensive walkthrough. I have run the google gauntlet, but after a few hours I haven't found any results yet. I tried most/all of the youtube guides instructing to download github repos, I assume half of those are for generic realtek or USB devices. Any tips or information I can provide, please let me know!

I encountered some errors when installing the Parrot sec OS 5.2. This is the error message provided by the installer: ![](https://i.sstatic.net/dNs91.png) My computer supports UEFI mode and BIOS mode, and I have tried to use Rufus and BalenaEtcher USB flash disk burning software, and I have also tried MBR mode and UEFI mode, and I have also tried to install USB flash disk in GPT format and MBR format. However, these operations have no effect. The error prompt still pops up. This makes it impossible for me to install this system. After this error prompt pops up, I can't mount this partition in Ubuntu system. If this is due to the problem of python code in this installation program, please tell me how to solve it (I am able to write python code, not a novice). If this problem has nothing to do with python code, please tell me how to handle it correctly.

I'm having the most infuriating problem with Remmina. It never connected every time but worked fine once connected. Don't know if this was a hint of things to come but I signed up to a new VPS and everything was fine yesterday but today after changing nothing it suddenly wouldn't connect. I started out simple and restarted remmina and the computer, then removed and re-entered the profiles then uninstalled and reinstalled Remmina. I then tried to access it on a live parrot OS (I use Parrot OS) thinking some change I wasn't aware of caused the issue but to no avail. I then discovered that I could still connect to another VPS using the same setup. I've tried all options of security protocols (auto, rdp, NLA, TLS) with no luck. Some tell me to check the protocol setting, some just dont connect and some get caught in a loop continually asking for user/pass/domain. I've looked around the net for similar problems and found some info about perhaps deleting known_hosts files etc but it's for different versions and distros so paths aren't the same and I don't want to screw something up I don't completely understand. Anyway I am at my wits end with this and am desperate for any help. TIA Also below are logs of the issue, one in auto and the other in RDP protocol.

Terminal ScreenshotI have a problem installing WINE on the Parrot distro which is based on Debian. I cannot install WINE from the official website, WINE on Debian , nor from the repository itself using sudo apt install wine. I and a beginner in Linux, and I really want to be able to make WINE work so I can play Dofus. It works on other distros like Pop OS, but this one is giving me headaches. I have already tried Flatpak with bottles, and when starting the game, it doesn't open. It just keeps loading, but it works fine on Pop OS. I tried to install from the official repository, using the command sudo apt install wine. It installs. However, when it "complains" that it needs wine32, it warns that the packages are broken. I also tried using the steps on the official website, but it still doesn't work. I don't know what else to do. Can someone help me please?

Then, I tried to boot while selecting disable nouveau and nvidia GPU and it boots ok. Later, I tried to do: sudo apt install nvidia-driver But I got an error saying: "The system has a graphic card which is no longer handled by NVIDIA driver..." I tried to download manually the driver and install it (had to stop and start lightdm for it) but I got errors. Currently, I'm stuck with no nvidia and nouveau which makes the resolution huge. When I try to use xrandr, it keeps failing. I tried to use cvt to add a new resolution but it won't add. How can I continue here? I feel like I'm completely stuck. Thank you! **SOLUTION:** So after a while the following solution did the thing: 1. Make sure to add nouveau to blacklist-nouveau.conf. blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off 2. sudo apt install nvidia-tesla-470-driver.

Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked on parrotOS
My parrotOS won’t boot, I didn’t change anything major on my system before this issue happened. I had nno issues restarting the system previously. I’m on parrotOS 5.2.

Pushing any key just repeats the message, the same thing happens in recovery mode. I have tried editing fstab(taking out swap and non essential drives) and editing the rescue.service file to try and boot sulogin —force,) but that didn’t work. I’ve also run fsck that returned 0(no errors). This is what I tried in the rescue.service ExecStart=-/bin/sh -c "/sbin/sulogin --force; /bin/systemctl --job-mode=fail --no-block default" I think this is related to a Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802211 I found the following documentation but don’t really know what to do with it, how do I set the environment variable $SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1  ? > systemd-sulogin-shell: > * $SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1 — This skips asking for the root password if the root password is not available (such as when the root account > is locked).

Error Installing MySQL in Parrot Linux

I recently installed Parrot KDE Security OS on VMWare. I was having trouble using MariaDB like connecting MariaDB and NodeJs was very tiredsome work than connecting MySQL and NodeJs. And there was way too less resources for MariaDB than MySQL. So I uninstalled MariaDB completely from the Parrot. But now when I am trying to install MySQL I am facing too many issues. I have scorched the stacks, githubs and finally asking here. The below is the command I came across various times and I used this.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
But I am getting the following Error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package mysql-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'mysql-server' has no installation candidate
Please can you give me complete instructions for installing MySQL. And I literally searched for everything for this issue. I went through MySQL site and everywhere. I also went through [here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/) . Your help will be much appreciated. Thank You so much.
