can i just delete that kernel some how is there a diffrent comand or perhaps thru gui

z7vl7abxc · Jul 26, 2023

the idea is to get your package manager through apt (or dpkg) to remove the package so it doesn't keep holding up your updates. i'm not sure anything through a gui would be advisable in that respect. another repeated suggestion on the linked page is to try and force removal the package with dpkg: https://askubuntu.com/a/490677

i've never tried this on a package, so it would probably be a good idea to run it with the --dry-run option first to make sure it isn't going to break anything.

# dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --dry-run linux-image-6.1.0-kali7-amd64

if you look through the output and it doesn't seem like it will harm your system, you could try without --dry-run. of course, having a backup beforehand also wouldn't hurt.

just to verify, can you try

which update-grub

this is also from the kali purple vm:

Code:

which update-grub
/usr/sbin/update-grub

if you don't get any output, you could either use your gui file manager to check if the file /usr/sbin/update-grub exists or try

ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub

from the vm:

Code:

ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub

have you tried this as your regular user (not root) with sudo? similarly, have you tried

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

as your regular user?

i can't say as to why your root can't run update-grub. i was able to do so in the kali purple vm after running sudo su like you did previously in this thread in case that is how you are getting to a root prompt. when i check $PATH for both root (via sudo su) and my regular user, it is:

Code:

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

in case your regular user can't run the command either, it may help to check:

Code:

file $(which update-grub)
/usr/sbin/update-grub: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
cat $(which update-grub)
#!/bin/sh
set -e
exec grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg "$@"

well i am in reg user. but also this is not kali purple vm it is the main o/s on this computer now i do have like 4 diffrnt desktops like plasma kde and xfce etc
and yes i did do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt get upgrade && sudo
make clean with and with out -y or -f

because most of the update && upgrades you have listed output for in this thread have been like:

cregory said:

so that would look like this, for example:

understood. when i mention the kali purple vm, i am only doing so to share output from a running kali system where apt update && apt upgrade as well as update-grub all work as expected.

i am just about of ideas and if i have to ill back up al my data dump this and re-install it i dont want to do that as i have months of work in it but i dont know what else to do

zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

this looks like it could be problematic since the first part (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games) is repeated three times, is different the second time and also includes "zsh: no such file or directory:".

i'm not a zsh user, but you could try to check if that might be part of the issue by running

bash

before trying sudo update-grub again.

the only places i see additions to $PATH are:

Code:

cat /etc/profile              
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then
  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
else
  PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
fi
export PATH

and

Code:

cat /etc/profile.d/kali.sh 
# Kali customizations to the default shell environment

# Add /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin to the PATH for all users
if ! echo "$PATH" | tr : '\n' | grep -q "^/sbin$"; then
    PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH"
fi

did you add any other directories through either your ~/.zshrc or maybe ~/.zshenv file?

Code:

cat .zshrc | grep -i path
        ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[path]=bold
        ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[path_pathseparator]=
        ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES[path_prefix_pathseparator]=[code]
