    I have a fresh install of Kali, I've downloaded the recent os-scripts from your github.

    For some reason I get the following error when I begin the script .

    [+] Disabling notification package updater service ~ in case it runs during this script
    [!] Failed to kill /usr/lib/apt/methods/http
    [!] There another service (other than this script) using Advanced Packaging Tool currently
    apt is not running anywhere else. I've tried a few dfferent things, no luck.

    The script was not designed for this (nor Kali). It would be a lot of work to make it happen - "root" has been used & hardcoded (and without permission checks).

    If you are 100% sure, nothing else is using 'apt-get' - remove the following files before re-running the script:

    /var/lib/dpkg/lock
    /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

    For some reason the latest script did not agree with my Kali Installation

    I used the last revision of the script , I was able to get a little further until
    [i] Detected multiple kernels installed
    Seems I do have more then one,
    root@kb0x:~/Desktop# dpkg --list | grep linux-image
    ii linux-image-4.0.0-kali1-amd64 4.0.4-1+kali2 amd64 Linux 4.0 for 64-bit PCs
    ii linux-image-4.1.0-kali1-amd64 4.1.6-1kali2 amd64 Linux 4.1 for 64-bit PCs
    ii linux-image-amd64 4.1+67+kali1 amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
    I'm using the latest kernel at the moment. What do you suggest I do?

    EDIT:

    I've tried renaming the old kernel, no luck.

    I removed the old one that was not in use and now the script is running.

    Don't rename. Remove.

    Reboot & make sure you are using the latest version before removing the older kernels. There's various guides online how todo this.

    Thanks,

    I verified that I was booting with the most recent kernel by checking grub.conf. Then removed others with apt .

    Script finished.
