KDE Desktop with 2016.1 Rolling and apt-get 404 errors
Did a fresh install of Kali 2016.1 Rolling on VMWare. I like rolling, I like having the latest nmap updates and such. It's very cool. Problem is that I find the new Gnome to be clumsy and sluggish. I'd like to go to KDE.
After searching around a bit (and KDE being "too small" a term to search in the forums which was a pain) I found the definitive post...from 2013 - https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...t=change+gnome
As I said, that post was from 2013. First question is does the same process apply today? Second question - do the rolling repositories even have all the ingrediants needed for the install? I tried to run the suggested:
line but I got a lot of 404 errors when I tried to do so. Here is a sample. note Get:36 - that did install, so the repositories are up. But the rest it's just a steady stream of 404's.Code:apt-get install kali-defaults kali-root-login desktop-base kde-full

So, yeah I'd love to get KDE up and running but seems like the Kali Rolling people decided not to put that on the shelf.Code:(0;1877) # curl -sI http://http.kali.org/README HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:54:03 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) X-MirrorBrain-Mirror: mirror.pwnieexpress.com X-MirrorBrain-Realm: country Link: <http://http.kali.org/README.meta4>; rel=describedby; type="application/metalink4+xml" Link: <http://mirror.pwnieexpress.com/kali/README>; rel=duplicate; pri=1; geo=us Link: <http://archive.linux.duke.edu/kalilinux/kali/README>; rel=duplicate; pri=2; geo=us Link: <http://archive-4.kali.org/kali/README>; rel=duplicate; pri=3; geo=us Link: <http://archive-7.kali.org/kali/README>; rel=duplicate; pri=4; geo=us Link: <http://kali.localmsp.org/kali/README>; rel=duplicate; pri=5; geo=us Location: http://mirror.pwnieexpress.com/kali/README Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
