Hey I am pretty new to kali linux yesterday i was trying to fix the vpn grayed out problem which i successfully did i was able to add the vpn gateway n stuff but vpn wasn't connection after i clicked on vpn profile nothing happens no error nothing , So i turned off the pc for a while & after i get back to pc i was surprised
because my network manager was no more there which mean i am not able to access internet now
What i did was i made some changes in repositories then i revert it back to officials one which are as below
Then i did## Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
## Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
after that
At this point everything was fine i was able to add vpn (But it wasn't connecting tho)aptitude -r install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-strongswan network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome
So after reading for the solution of that i saw that someone actually posted a solution to this & that was
Have you tried to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file? Edit /etc/network/interfaces and put a '#' in front of everything except these lines
So i edited that too but even that didn't fixed the problem so i turned off the pc & after i boot it again network manager was gone :/
Now so far what i did to resolve this problem
i edited the network manager n network interface back to default tried to remove network-manager from apt-get remove network-manager then installing the .deb package for network-manager. But still no success :3
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks!
