Updating Kali Linux after a Fresh Install
Hi Guys,
I have just installed a fresh copy of Kali linux and keep getting an error when I try updating the packages. In the terminal when I do sudo apt-get update and type my password for super user access, I get the error below: "Err:1 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling InRelease Connection failed [IP: 192.99.200.113 80] Reading package lists... Done W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali-rolling/InRelease Connection failed [IP: 192.99.200.113 80] W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Can anyone kindly help me out on how to fix this? Regards, |
The Kali documentation at their site discusses this problem in detail at the link below. I'm not sure how much you know about Kali or Linux, but Kali is a specific use OS and is therefore, very well documented so the Kali documentation is the best source for help. Did you modify your sources.list file? The output you posted does not look right to me. Posting the contents of that file might give information for someone to help you. The documentation at the Kali site at the link below explains frequent problems and explains how to update.
