Can't seem to apt-get update on kali linux [tried many ways


I keep getting such errors: None of these work for me guys, I've tried to change the sources in the sources.list files by enabling one, disabling the other and still no avail, I even tried to connect to the internet using wired instead of wifi. My terminal spits out an error as such:

root@kali:~# apt-get update

Would appreciate any help!


Solution

  • there are multiple things that causes that problem: 1.) your PC or Laptop i not connected to your router or can't access it (try to ping google.co) 2.) your source list is empty (can i see your source list)

    edit:

    this are my last solution

    1.) Theres a Problem just like you in this link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429729/apt-get-update-error-in-kali-linux-after-dist-upgrade

    2.) here's what i found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxdky8gtocc

    if this will not work then i don't have further solution to give you sorry
