When I launch kali linux with VNC Viewer,I open LX terminal and run command sudo apt-get update I get error:
sudo: PERM_ROOT: setrescuid(0, -1, -1): Permission denided
How to fix this?
When you are not using a VNC but are accessing the Kali machine directly, can you use sudo?
Are you using the same username via VNC as you would use locally at the Kali machine?
Have you enabled the root account in Kali and, if so, can you su to root?
I found a thread on the Kali forums that might help. As Kali is highly specialized, you might consider posing your question directly at the Kali forums.
Also Kali is a distro made by EXPERTS!!! for use BY EXPERTS!!!!
and has only one real use
covert pen testing
and if you have to ask questions on kail then you are not an expert and i am guessing want to use Kali in a way that is in violation of this sites rules
basically if it is illegal WE CAN NOT HELP
and if you ARE a network security expert then you would not need to ask basic questions on basic operations

John VV responded with my go to on Kali, "a distro made by EXPERTS!!! for use BY EXPERTS!!!!" (Much over my head and constantly evolving...)
but on a closed network for learning and testing it's cool. Back as a I tried desperately to get Satan running but it was too late in it's game (and early in mine,) then Backtrack!
