I'm running bully on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I got this output:

educ@educ-TOSHIBA-NB500:~$

When I run sudo airodump-ng mon0, it works fine.

What does this error message mean?

I didn't have that problem with bully on Ubuntu 12.10 LTS until i upgrade it to 14.04 What can i do to solve that problem?

any help would be appreciated

  • There's 5 commands run there, what is the error you're concerned about? And if it's the 2nd (?) one, did you "specify --source for the interface" like it tells you?

Do this:

sudo gedit /etc/default/ifplugd

Then put this line in the file:

HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=""

Save it and you are good to go!

That's it, problem was: your device is busy. Found in http://blog.flowl.info/2014/wlan-problem-device-resource-busy-solution/
