Restart Windows 

Download https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_x64.msi 

Double click wsl_update_x64.msi (Should request administrator permission)

Run PowerShell as administrator:

After setting user name and password:

sudo kex

and then on slower laptop, hit control c to kick start the GUI. 

============================Command Line Only


If sticking with command line for Wifite, but must first install Python.

Change directory to Downloads 

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.2/Python-3.9.2.tar.xz 

tar -xvf Python-3.9.2.tar.xz

cd Python-3.9.2 

./configure

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Oh oh..

sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install make 

./configure 

make

sudo make install

(There are errors; however, this works:)

python3 -V

sudo apt-get install python3-pip 

Go back to home directory

git clone https://github.com/derv82/wifite2.git

cd wifite2

sudo python3 ./Wifite.py

More work to be done.... 

Like... 

sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
