First, welcome to the forum. Now, what do you get when you runHye guys. I recently changed from Windows to kali Linux. I am trying to install vlc player and this error keeps coming. By the way I am new to this forum and I am sorry if I have mistakenly posted.
apt-get update
G'day Rishikumaren, and Welcome to linux.org
Why did you choose Kali Linux ?....something to do with learning hacking ?
I got this problem too
I started to install only tar.gz packages.
But at some point I realized that I just don't need Kali.
root@kali:~# apt-get update
E: Type 'deb.src' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
root@kali:~#
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
I dont understand. As far as i know with kali linux only you can do the hacking stuffs. Is there any other way to do the hacking ?
My thoughts exactly also @TolkemLooks like the problem is here /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list So editing that file should solve it, open a terminal and typeand edit the file commenting, that is, type the "#" symbol in front of the line that reads deb.src then run againCode:nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
If the update process goes well then you should be able to install software. Also, I'd suggest to runCode:apt-get update
right after updating sources, and then once it is completed and kali gets fully updated & upgraded proceed to install vlc or any ther app you want/need.Code:apt-get upgrade
Not quite true. You can install any distro you like and then install "hacking" and/or penetration tools i.e nmap, wireshark, aircrack ... just like @Peer said you can do this "hacking stuff" just in any Linux distro of your choice.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the suggestion.But I already have my kali linux installed in my laptop.Furthermore i am getting used to it. Except the hdmi cable thing.It is quite wierd because everything works fine for 30 minutes then both my tv and laptop goes blankLooks like the problem is here /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list So editing that file should solve it, open a terminal and typeand edit the file commenting, that is, type the "#" symbol in front of the line that reads deb.src then run againCode:nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
