Hello,

I installed Kali last night on an acer aspire 5742z. I have been having different problems trying to get it to work. Firstly, I wasn't able to install it using the mirror as I also didn't configure the network as it wasn't able to detect my dchp server. I decided to install it without that stuff and do it after installation. So after I installed it I decided to populate my source.list repository. I found a link online ( http://kaligr3y.blogspot.ie/2013/04/...ali-linux.html ) and went with, this was as follows:

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/ /kali main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/ /wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

esc

:wq

enter

Then I tried to do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade but it failed with a segmentation error. So I tried a few other things, not sure I remember everything, but now I am being denied permission to do a lot of stuff, for example I cannot get into /etc/apt/source.list. The reason I wanted to download these repositories was because I wanted to be able to download gedit and OfficeLibre, and wasn't able to. So I assumed that if I had all the packages I might be able to!


I am also trying to start an apache server using the terminal and I script I downloaded into leafpad but it's returning that it unable to determine the servers qualified name. I'm wondering if there's something I need to do as I skipped configuring the network upon installation.

Appreciate any and all help!!
Thanks in advance!
