Running Kali on Pinepfone. Kali specific apps not available

[christians86]

Hi,

I have the pinefone pro. This is what I did:

1. Installed the img via balena etcher onto a micro sd
2. Booted the phone and have since been running kali on the phone

The problem is that the apps I can find on the phone is standard debian apps, like phone, maps,firefox etc. There are no "kali specific" apps. Which leads me to think I might have to run some commands to get them installed?

However, if I run:

sudo apt upgrade I only get that 0 need to be upgraded

while if I run sudo apt update it show two repos (Defect reported here, is that right(?) - Image dosen't contain Kali linux specific apps. It only holds basic debian software. Problem with release file not being valid yet on repor.mobian.org? (#5) ? Issues ? Kali Linux / NetHunter / build-scripts / kali-nethunter-pro ? GitLab ) and their release file not yet being valid. Is this my problem?


Thanks, br

nethunter runs its kali tools directly in a shell, open a terminal and try it..

Afte some discussions on discord it seems that the image is loaded with date set not to automatically update, which then caused the scripts not to work. However now the image is unstable and I can't use any of the apps as they crash upon startup

i am having a similar issue, just got the PinePhone Pro, installed tow-boot, on the sd card i used dd to write the nethunter PinePhone Pro Phosh img, it boots up correctly, but when i log it i have different issues:
1: no nethunter app only a terminal that let me enter Kali.
2: no desktop, when i log in i have the apps shown like when you open the drop-up menu, but i have no idle screen.
i tried apt update and upgrade but nothing changes...
does the app and the idle screen works only on android? do i have to erase the base emmc system that the phone comes with?

Hi, given that current doc dosen't mention any commands, should I assume the doc for kali arm will help or is there another place to find the commands to rund things in shell?
The link on kali.org links to nethunter for andriod, and not for nethunter pro

from a terminal most of Kali's tools are still there, the terminal commands are the same as when you use a tool from Kali on a PC..

"sudo apt search nethunter" and choose from there.

I just installed nethunter pro image for Pinephone and had the same experience as many others. a beautiful phosh setup skinned with kali.

From the documentation and screenshots on https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-mobile I expected at least the nethunter store, and standard tools like sqlmap and burp, and the nethunter terminal.

but they are missing sadly.

I even scanned the predefined links in firefox and found nothing usable.

thinking that I may have done something wrong, i fired up another pc than the one i initially downloaded the image, redownloaded the image (https://kali.download/nethunterpro-i...e-phosh.img.xz) verified the signature, wrote it to another sd and booted. The experience is the same...

I even went to https://store.nethunter.com and clicked the link thinking that it might have something different, but I only got the .apk for android (which works fine on an unrooted S7 edge aka hero2lte running lineageos 20230131_230708.jpg)

Could someone who can actually update the image verify that this is what they expect? and then maybe update the website to reflect that. (at the moment it feels like those Ferrari branded laptops: the colors and the sounds are there, but its not a Ferrari (or a kali))

If "most" means only netcat I agree, otherwise our definition of most is not the same...

Is there a repo one can add to the sources.list file get all the usual Kali NetHunter toys?
