then i fist updated Kali using apt-get update and apt-get full-upgrade but nothing update and version remain same:

then I check source.list and found that it is totally empty
then i add original Kali sources.list Repositories and then re update but still not working

could you define "Still not working"? Outputs are useful.

And did apt update return anything? If yes, what?

Do you have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[hz93]

root@localhost:~# cat /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

You have to do 'apt dist-upgrade' after 'apt update'. Does that command do anything? Could you show the output?

I am getting this error page:

This despite playing with variations of the dists page:
http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling-only/ ...


The official kali mirrors site tesll us to set up user accounts in our platforms to access the mirrors:
docs.kali.org/community/kali-linux-mirrors

is the new way of things?

[Mister_X]

Are you sure that's the content of your sources.list (notice the 's' at the end of it, and in your command you typed it without 's')? apt is hitting http://www.kali.org, which is incorrect.


You're misunderstanding that documentation (mirror). It is meant to have a copy of the kali repo on one of your system, and that isn't needed. It is only useful if you have a lot of users in your company running kali, and will save bandwidth, and it can save time when building ISOs, but otherwise, there is no reason to have one.
