Not able to uprade from kernel 4.12

[mictadlo]

Hi,
I did `sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade` but after rebooting I still have only the kenel 4.12 to choose.

What did I miss?

Thank you in advance.

Not sure what full-upgrade does but try dist-upgrade instead.

Interesting.
Would you mind posting the result of "ls -l /boot" for us to have a look at?

Incorrect repositories.

Anything in the "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" directory?

I changed it to wheezy and I can still only choose 4.12. What did I miss?

I'd get rid of the nodesource repos and do an upgrade with the standard kali-rolling only.

Your "sources.list" looks ok but you seem to have additional repositories defined somewhere else that cause some hiccups. Something must have caused your package manager to be out of whack, e.g it looks like you used to have a newer kernel installed but it got removed.

Have a look in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" for any additional sources files and remove all of them for now.
Do another "apt update" and make sure that you only get hits on the "kali-rolling" repo then run "apt full-upgrade".


For your reference, my output of "apt update" with an identical sources.list file looks like this:


root@kali:~# apt update

7 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.


Hope that helps

Did you rerun a apt-get update && apt-get dust-upgrade? With the changes. Also with the extra repo sources like stated by re4son you could have broken you install.

[mictadlo]

The only thing which helped was to do `apt install linux-image-amd64`

Atleast check what is there in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as told by re4son twice. Having extra and unofficial repositories will most likely break your filesystem in future.
