    Question Win-KeX install problems.

    I am trying to install Win-Kex and I am having a heck of a hard time getting it to install.

    I have a Lenovo T520 laptop running: Windows 10 Pro version 2004 OS build 19041.450

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>wsl --list --verbose
    NAME STATE VERSION
    * kali-linux Running 2

    I have everything setup correctly with version 2 of wsl

    akore@LenovoT520:/mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-win-kex
    Err:1 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling InRelease
    Temporary failure resolving 'http.kali.org'
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    All packages are up to date.
    W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali-rolling/InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'http.kali.org'
    W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package kali-win-kex

    This seems to be where the main problem is. Anyone know how to get this to actually install?

    Check kali version by the command cat /etc/os-release after this if the kali version is not 2020.3 update it.And the do sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install kali-win-kex -y

    After putting in this: sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install kali-win-kex -y

    I get this:

    This package is for WSL 2. Nothing to be done here.
    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kali-win-kex_2.7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    new kali-win-kex package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/kali-win-kex_2.7_amd64.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    I've checked and I am pretty sure I am running WSL2.

    does that error persist, it looks like dns could not resolve, which could be any number of short term problems relating to DNS resolve.

    It is the latest version, I just set up my WSL2 and Kali Linux 2020.4, and because xrdp is throwing errors, I'm trying to install kex and it is showing:

    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/kali-win-kex_2.7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    new kali-win-kex package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/kali-win-kex_2.7_amd64.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    please help.
