Summary0009710: metasploit-framework - does kali use a special version?
Description

Dear maintainers,

I discovered a little issue, but can not find out, what happens.
Description:
When connected to a meterpreter connection, I can use thje coimmand "run vnc" to start a vnc connection and a vncviewer (I guess it is tightvncviewer???).

In this there is a hotkey, here it is F8, which opens a menu. I suppose, you know this.

But: There is a difference when running from kali-live, kali native installed and metasploit started in a debian system.

The problem is, that i this menu, several settings are missing using debian or kali-live. On a native installed kali this is working.

So question: Is there anything special with the installed version versus the version in a kali live system or debian?

Do I miss something, maybe a rights problem? I started both as normal user and as root, but same results.

Maybe you could point me somewhere, but at the moment I am lost.

And yes, I know, "run vnc" is going to be deprecated, but is still working (and please do not drop it!).

Thank you for any hints that I will be able to look for the cause of this issue.

Best regards

Hans
