Metasploit on VM

[AleV]

I am running Kali Linux in VMWare on my Ubuntu laptop. I am trying to practice with metasploit within it. The problem is, when I run

msfconsole

within the terminal, I get the following:

:~# msfconsole

I have checked the Rails version within the VM:

:~# rails -v
Rails 4.2.2

I have updated severally. Where am I going wrong forum?

Thank you for your guidance in advance

When I google "/opt/metasploit/apps/pro/ui/lib/metasploit/pro/ui.rb" a thread from their forum is at the top of the list.

That thread acknowledges the issue and an update has since been released that should fix the issue.

Note that if you don't want to upgrade the forum thread suggests an alternate way of starting mfc which works in spite of the flaw.
