W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

i tried by removing proxies and everything i found on forum but nothing worked for me.
Actually i want to install headers for kernel and apt-get update is a prerequist of that.

For installing headers i also used other ways like:
#apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
but also given an error as
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Can some body help me please??

Do you have internet connectivity on your machine ?

"If you are looking for a Linux distribution to learn the basics of Linux and need a good starting point, Kali Linux is not the ideal distribution for you. You may want to begin with Ubuntu or Debian instead. "

1) Click Applications -- System Tools -- Preferences -- Software Settings
2) Choose the Software Sources Tab
3) Uncheck the deb cdrom:......

I recently had the same issue with the x64 version.
It turned out that some apt files redirect to archive-4.kali.org however malwaredomains has archive-4.kali.org listed in their zone file.
As I import malwaredomaines zone file on a regular basis it meant i could no longer hit all the apt repositories as before.
I'm not sure when this changed as it worked a few weeks back.

Maybe you have a similar issue with your DNS ?

1) Click Applications -- System Tools -- Preferences -- Software Settings
2) Choose the Software Sources Tab
3) Uncheck the deb cdrom:......

That should work. An alternative way to do this would be to open a terminal, type 'leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list' or 'sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list' (if you are a non-root user).
At the top of the sources.list file there should be two lines that say 'deb cdrom' or something similar. Put a # sign in front of those two lines. It should look something like this after:
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20130425-10:30]/ kali contrib main non-free
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20130425-10:30]/ kali contrib main non-free
then click save in leafpad and then try apt-get update again.

Based on the error message above it seems that you couldn't connect to the kali linux update server . So Please make sure you have the internet connection and do "apt-get update" again . Don't forget to set the DNS properly.

Well this is giving me a serious headache now...
I'm having the same exact problem but on 64-bit.

It all started when trying to install "correct" NVIDIA drivers like so: EXTERNAL-LINK

I change the /etc/apt/sources.lst file to the desired one but still it can't reach the repository nor I wasn't able to do the

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

part.

Been googling for hours now... will try and check if the DNS are set up correctly for the apt-get I guess?
But it was supposed to be done since I'm writting this from Kali...

Thanks a lot in advance!!

The reader is looking for an answer, not a philosophical debate as to what os he should use (I use he as a simple generic term). Obviously, there are answers to the problem as further posts infer so why add your opinion, instead of fact?

[notcare]

I Have internet connetion and my source too the problem it's not there and I would like to update my machine

[aldobelus]

I already have a headache to find a solution to the same problem that is here and can not find how to solve it. I made a fresh installation, put the repositories of Kali and there was no way to update. I put others and either.
I've searched through Synaptic the best mirror from my location, but nothing. I can to update with "update" command but not "upgrade". Any idea more, please?
Of course, I have web connection, I'm writing from Kali now...

[djhbjxc]

No sorry I have no idea how to solve this jet, i try to help by giving the information I see and this it's te error I am getting.
And as I can see in my system it's a problem with the content of the server.
Because it's giving me a 404 not found HTTP error.



But I can update

I hope it can help you!

Have the repository and forum servers been down the past few days? This is the first time I've been able to get on the forum site. I installed Kali for the first time a few days ago and have been pulling my hair out trying to apt-get install anything.

Edit: I think my ISP is blocking kali addresses. I can't access this forum or any kali repositories from home.

So I'm sure everyone has figured it out by now, I just realized how old this post is but I'll put this here anyway.

Add:

Add following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

# Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
# Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

then apt-get update

This fixed the problem for me, hope it works for anyone else having the same problem.

That will only work for kali 2 users.
Kali 1 is now at EOL. You need to follow the guide on this blog post: https://www.kali.org/news/kali-moto-eol/

For kali 2 users:

The error comes up as a result of the missing space after the hashtag in /etc/apt/sources.list

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ ...

Change to

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ ...

And all is well...

Yeah... I was quick to judge that in this case something was off with the #
