I have just downloaded kali-linux-2020.1-installer-amd64 and installed it as a VM using virtualbox.
As is the new way I was prompted for a regular username and password, all went fine.

The first thing I then did was enter 'apt update' in a terminal to update my sources and got this but no luck.
next i tried to su as kali:

no luck there either. So I had a look at the passwd file

As you can see there is no kali user but there is a root user
So then I thought maybe I can su root.
I tried using the passwords toor and kali for the root user but no luck.
I even tried to su chris which did not fail but I still could not update my sources.

Any help in solving this one would be appreciated.
