Stuck in terminal window ._.

[Grape54367]

So I recently got kali on vm virutalbox...

After setting it up I tried installing guest edition but kept getting an error where the vm virutalbox couldn't be found or it was that I couldn't start it

So I looked for about 3 hours searching forums on how to fix it...

Many people ended up fixing the issue up simply doing apt-get update and then apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y

Then I thought might as well try it. After executing apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y it gave me a few errors...

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-amd64'

After that didn't work I spent a whole day trying to fix that issue ^

Looked around and found out I should update it through the terminal

I do apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade
so that does it's thing for about 15-20 mins

Now the part I'm stuck at and which made me re-install the os 5 times in the past day is...this http://prntscr.com/dd2mg3

I legit can't click anything inside it
The first time I saw it I thought it was maybe the end of the update..so I sent a reboot single through the terminal and restarted it

And behold the **** thing stayed at a black screen for an hour...so I exited and re-installed linux all over again.

Encountering this issue 5 times made me loose hope so I came here begging for an answer to press the ok so the update and finish.

I'm keeping this thing open until I find a solution cause I really don't have the will to do this all over again..

You are having the same problem I am, Kernel is stuck at 4.6.0 and not updating, apt-get wants to install 4.8.0

Heres my thread: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?34138-Kali-stuck-on-old-kernel

For anyone else that might have the same issue using virtual box.

First I went to https : / / www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/ and installed the Kali Linux 64 bit VBox torrent.

After downloading, just run the program...it will automatically create a vm without going through the usual procedure.

Username is root and password is toor.

Now run the terminal and do apt-get update and apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y <--This should work properly now.

After that run apt-get upgrade. Once you get to the part where I got stuck (IF this happens) basically scroll down in the message box press the right arrow key and then it will highlight the <ok>, press enter and you are good to go.

Hope this helps :)
