Check your ubuntu menu, check to see if the software icon is already there..

thank you! man

Well i have this problem

I installed Fern-wifi cracker

But It still shows install in "Ubuntu software center"

But the Icon for "fern wifi cracker" is there in "Dash home"

I clicked on it but nothing happens

please help

Please try running the program as root, that should work

I don't know what's happening but I wrote it as root on terminal. Result:

root@fedget:/home/fatih# dpkg -i Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb
(Reading database ... 165186 files and directories currently installed.)

Nothing happenes and works by writing to terminal as root.

Try opening the program using the icon

hello, I have the same issue here with ubuntu 13.04 
At first I installed all dependencies, no problem
Then I tried to install latest ferm 1.6 with dpkg no problem, but no way to 
launch it after the install process (install process did not give me any error 
msg)
Then tried the double click install solution ...
Same issue :  I have icon , it is in menu, it is in /usr/share/applications, 
but when clicked nothing happens 

Found 

Found solution :
it is now located in /opt ....

When I click the shortcut it just doesn't even try to open and when I launch it 
in terminal I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/fern-wifi-cracker/execute.py", line 80, in <module>
    run = fern.mainwindow()

sqlite3.OperationalError: Could not decode to UTF-8 column 'access_point' with 
text 'Braydon�..s iPhone'

Braydon�..s iPhone being the last thing I tested this on. 
How do I fix it? I have already tried chmod and reinstalling it
I am on Kali

Go to the key-database directory in the Fern installation path and delete 
database.db

Will not run under Linux Mint....will not load...instaled properly...tries to 
run but quits?

Please paste the output of the program after it quits from terminal

under ubuntu 12.04 LTS 
Fern-Wifi-Cracker is located at /opt/Fern-Wifi-Cracker

this would work
~$sudo -s
~$cd /opt/Fern-Wifi-Cracker
~$python execute.py

This would run the program.
Once it runs u can update it further. 

instead of deleting the database.db you could open it with a sqlite3 manager 
and change the APN name to some normal text . Just for the sake of running it .

/var/tmp/kdecache-(sysname)" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0 i get this 
error when using svermal's suggestions and after its open it wont update as it 
says the connection has timed out
