Segmentation Error when updating Kali Sana Linux 2.0 Sana
apt-get update
.
This post will discuss some recent event that I’ve observed as well as
fixing Segmentation fault error in Kali Sana Linux 2.0 when trying to
update.The main issue being slow
apt-get update
or a 404 error
message when trying to do apt-get update
. It’s not only because everyone is trying to download updates but also because of DDoS attack against Kali servers and mirrors.This possibly happened because when I tried to install Kali Linux 2.0 Sana, during auto-update (installation update phase) it timed out due to 404 Errors and I had to cancel the update manually to complete my installation.
Fixing Segmentation:-
The easiest way to fix is to open your sources.list file and modify it. When I opened mysources.list
file, following is what I found:Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
sources.list
below:You need to modify your
sources.list
file, remove all existing lines and put the followings instead:Copy paste the following repositories (remove existing lines). This was taken from official Kali sources.list Repositories list.
Save the file and then run
apt-get update
