What I did was:

  1. Install the Kali Linux tools on my ubuntu 18.04 LTS using the katoolin tool.

  2. Then I installed all the information gathering tools using the katoolin script.

  3. The thing is that when I try to run the spotify application on my ubuntu system, I get:

    Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"  (spotify:15787): 
Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display: :0

  4. I have installed gail and atk-bridge lib but this issue is a pain. I have tried every possible like removing packages and etc. It does not work still.

  5. Also i cannot open the gnome-system-monitor application:

    Unable to init server: Unable to create socket: Permission denied
(gnome-system-monitor:21244): Gtk-WARNING: 23:42:41.547: cannot open display: :0

How should I proceed getting my system back to normal?

  • @AbhijeetSinghTomer I don't know if this question can be reopened. I read it before you edited it. It was unclear, so I ignored it. It's not unclear anymore, so I can answer it. You don't need either katoolin or gail because spotify is a native Ubuntu package. To install spotify open the terminal and type sudo snap install spotify – karel Jul 31 '19 at 03:50
  • @karel . I have already installed it. But when i run this application i get this error. The thing is that. So what should i do now? – Abhijeet Singh Tomer Jul 31 '19 at 04:01
  • @karel reopened and edited. Ping me after answering; – Fabby Jul 31 '19 at 08:53

Warning about updates after installing Kali linux tools

The LionSec Katoolin GitHub webpage clearly warns Katoolin users to be careful when updating software.

Before updating your system, please remove all Kali-linux repositories to avoid any kind of problem.

enter image description here

All kinds of problems can occur if you don't do this.

The Katoolin script is the cause of some of your problems. You don't need the repositories that the Katoolin script added anymore, so restore your sources.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list back to the default for a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04.

  1. Make a backup copy of sources.list.

    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

  2. Open /etc/apt/sources.list for editing in nano text editor:

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  3. Replace the entire contents of your existing sources.list with the following default 18.04 sources.list:

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse  
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse  
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner

    Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+O and after that press Enter to save the file being edited. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+X to exit nano.

  4. Run this command after changing sources.list to refresh the list of available software. This is the most important step, so please don't skip it.

    sudo apt update

After running the above commands the package management in your Ubuntu 18.04 should go back to normal.

Spotify

You got the following error message:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail" Gtk-Message:   
  Failed to load module "atk-bridge" (spotify:15787):   
Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display: :0

It looks like the Spotify snap package might work again after switching the channels. Run the following command to switch the spotify snap package's channel:

sudo snap switch spotify --edge
