When I make a ssh connection with root account to my desktop using putty and installed some programs. when I list that program type and press doubletab, will complete/list all associated commands.

Ex. Putty - SSH - 192.168.1.5

root@192.168.1.5:~# apt-get install aircrack-ng 
root@192.168.1.5:~# ai<TAB><TAB> 
airbase-ng aireplay-ng aircrack-ng airmon-ng airdecap-ng airodump-ng airdecloak-ng airtun-ng airdecloak-ng...

Xrdp - session Xorg - 192.168.1.5

root@192.168.1.5:~# air<tab><tab>
aircrack-ng airdecloak-ng

Both are root@192.168.1.5:~#. I need understand this. Other thing its on xfc4-terminal run ssh root@localhost and ssh root@192.168.1.5 do the same thing above respectively.

How can I push command in xfce4-terminal after installed this packages on ssh connection?

Same happens for the history commands. Example:

  • SSH Connection: Only shows history of this user in ssh.
  • Local connection: Only shows the xfce4-terminal history. Dont show packages installed with ssh session.

I think its a 'session' association?

  • I'm not sure that will help but you can try sudo updatedb (it will take awhile). – pa4080 Mar 27 '17 at 06:56

    How do you access root account in xfce4-terminal? – muru Mar 27 '17 at 06:59
  • @muru I login via rdp (xrdp) enter root and pass the Xorg Graphic opens desktop. click on terminal icon. and get root@192.168.1.5:~# – danuel Mar 27 '17 at 19:04
  • You are using root as local account in graphical environment? This is completely wrong approach and some graphical applications may limit this behavior. You should create normal limited account and run only some commands as root by opening xfce4-terminal and run sudo -s, su - or similar command in it to become root. – j123b567 Mar 27 '17 at 19:13
  • @j123b567 Is not a problem because i run in live mode. Its porpose! Don't worry about security. I understand your attention! And thanks for remid that! +1 – danuel Mar 27 '17 at 20:26
  • @danuel My comment is not just about security. Some programs have hardcoded if running as root then limit features to minimum or do nothing. So this is the reason why it is bad idea. It may cause lot of unexpected problems like this. – j123b567 Mar 27 '17 at 20:55

You are not root on the second case. You should run sudo su or sudo -s to become root in the xfce4-terminal and try again the ai<tab><tab>

EDIT: You should probably put this line at the end of /root/.bashrc

. ~/.bash_profile

More reading is here: Why ~/.bash_profile is not getting sourced when opening a terminal?

  • Ok. Can I know the "what" and why? In xfce4-terminal: root@192.168.1.5:~# air aircrack-ng airdecloak-ng root@192.168.1.5:~#sudo -su root@192.168.1.5:~# air airbase-ng aireplay-ng aircrack-ng airmon-ng airdecap-ng airodump-ng airtun-ng airdecloak-ng

    Both are root@192.168.1.5. I need understand this. Other thing its on xfc4-terminal run: #ssh root@localhost and #ssh root@192.168.1.5 do the same thing above respectively.

  • There may be some issue with .bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile, ... You can try to print contents of PATH variable echo $PATH in both cases and they will differ. – j123b567 Mar 27 '17 at 19:07
  • On SSH session
    root@kali:~# echo $PATH
    /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
    On Xorg-xfce4-terminal
    root@kali:~# echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
    WOW Some smoke!! How set same path of ssh session into xfce4-terminal? thanks @j123b567     – danuel Mar 27 '17 at 19:39
