Ladies and gentlemen,
After much frustration and looking I finally decided to try and install KDE the manual way on the preconfigured image. It was slow going and I didnt feel like building the dep list for KDE as a whole so I did alittle further searching and added some repo's.
Issue:
apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop returned error stating the package could not be located. After adding the Debian Wheezy repo and retrying the same step, I was given the same message. I then decided to grab the kde-plasma-desktop package from the package website, and began building my package+dep list in notepad.....realizing that this was probably the worst way to accomplish my mission, I decided to give my efforts one last try.
I found this code, which enabled me to install KDE and all of its dependincies with little to no trouble :)
echo deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
After running the above commands I then ran
apt-get upgrade -f to fix my dependencies issue and bam. KDE for me :)
Hopefully anyone else having this issue will find this helpful.
Please let me know if you have the same issue but get different results.
