Kali updates

[Kicklota]

Hi I'm new to the kali scene so was wandering if you guys could help me.

Basically during the initial installation I didn't connect to a network so of course it didn't gather updates. After the installation I connected to a network and decided to try and update using 'sudo apt-get update && did I apt-get upgrade' but it's saying there's no updates found...which is obviously a bit confusing as I haven't ever updated it and its still saying Theres no updates.

Any advice would be much appreciated! Just not sure wether to be worried or not haha

Since you did not choose network update, your sources.list is not pointing to the correct repo.

I'm assuming you're using kali rolling so you should edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put only this line in

"deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free"

If you're using another kali version, check the kali docs for the appropriate repos:

Could someone confirm the correct method of updating Kali Rolling? I had a good search but couldn't find anything specifically for Rolling and I'm not sure if command for 2.0 and below should still be used?

Would this be correct?:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Thanks!

I run apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Far as I know, this gets everything.
