Most of you lot already know that Kali Linux 2.0 (Kali Sana) was released yesterday 11-Aug-2015 1444hrs EST. Like everyone else I tried to jump into the bandwagon as well as tried to install Kali Linux 2.0 Sana as well as at in i trial experienced ho-hum update issues. I after ran into Segmentation fault mistake when trying to practise an apt-get update. This post service volition utter over some recent outcome that I’ve observed every bit good every bit fixing Segmentation fault mistake inwards Kali Sana 2.0 when trying to update.
First of all, I intend it has to live on mentioned that what a fantastic project Kali dev squad did. Kali Linux 2.0 Sana looks as well as feels fantastic as well as real shine fifty-fifty inwards VirtualBox. I am likewise real happy amongst the number of torrent seeders as well as I managed to download all three flavors of amd64 Kali Linux 2.0 Sana (kali-linux-2.0-amd64.iso, kali-linux-light-2.0-i386.iso as well as kali-linux-mini-2.0-amd64.iso) inside twenty minutes using torrent. I was getting nearly 40Mbps download speed as well as my upload speed was some 20Mbps (it tin flame become upto 40Mbps). That’s a total of 3.8GB as well as I decided to contribute dorsum as well as allowed seeding upto 18GB. (6.09 ratio). Do seed if your internet service provider allows it.
Anyhow, my betoken being, Kali is at nowadays to a greater extent than pop (I was getting 20Kbps when I downloaded Kali 1.0) as well as to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than people are using it. Those who managed to download it, I am certain they are every bit excited every bit I am but likewise ran into the same issues that I’ve faced. The principal number beingness ho-hum apt-get update or a 404 error message when trying to practise apt-get update. It’s non merely because everyone is trying to download updates but likewise because of DDoS assault against Kali servers as well as mirrors. Here’s the Twitter post service that I shared yesterday inwards my Facebook page as well as Twitter

That volition definitely ho-hum your downloads. We discussed nearly how to improve download speed past times changing mirrors manually earlier which powerfulness live on an selection if you lot alive inwards a part where merely few mirrors are available. But this likewise created some other problems when you lot endeavour to install Kali Linux 2.0 Sana. One detail occupation is what I’ve experienced: [Correction: Do NOT role repo.kali.org every bit it’s non for Sana, I volition endeavour to instruct an update on that.]
Slow updates created some other number when you lot endeavour to install Kali Linux 2.0 Sana. One detail occupation is what I’ve experienced:

Fixing Segmentation fault when updating Kali Linux 2.0 Sana
I institute that the easiest means to create is to opened upward your sources.list file as well as alter it. When I opened my sources.list file, next is what I found:
# Line commented out past times installer because it failed to verify:
Full sources.list below:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib principal non-free
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib principal non-free
# Line commented out past times installer because it failed to verify:
#deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates principal contrib non-free
# Line commented out past times installer because it failed to verify:
#deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates principal contrib non-free
Well that makes sense, it’s in all likelihood improve this means rather waiting endlessly for update. You demand to alter your sources.list file, take away all existing lines as well as position the followings instead:
root@kali: # vi /etc/apt/sources.list
(or)
root@kali: # leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list
Copy glue the next repositories (remove existing lines). This was taken from official Kali sources.list Repositories list.
# Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana principal non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates principal contrib non-free
# Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana principal non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates principal contrib non-free
Save the file as well as and then run apt-get update every bit normal.

Conclusion
I volition tardily update as well as add together to a greater extent than fixes every bit I go. It’s definitely tough for me to exam everything alone, therefore delight live on patient when I can’t response dorsum to your issues fast enough. Alternatively, I am certain Kali forums would live on able to help immensely.
If you’ve institute a serious number that you lot intend makes Kali Linux 2.0 Sana unstable as well as needs immediate fix, study it via Kali Bugs pages.
Feel gratuitous to comment, study other issues, fixes via comments section. As always, my comments department remains gratuitous as well as anonymous (as much I could).

Lastly,
I would similar to give cheers everyone at Kali Dev squad in i trial again for a fantastic production launch. And if I may live on bold plenty to country this, “For a Penetration exam Linux distro, this tin flame merely live on compared amongst iPhone launch.” Well done.
