[Solved] Kali Linux on VMware: Issues Downloading Files via Terminal - open-vm-tools-desktop, Tor

Yo
I am using kali linux on vmware and am having trouble downloading files via termnial.
Examples:

1.pt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse

When I enter this code, I get a message:

"Reading package list ... Done
Building a dependency tree
Reading status information ... Done
E: Could not find vm-tools-desktop package "

When trying to download the tor via terminal
She types: "apt-get install tor"

I get a message:

"Reading package lists ... Done
Building a dependency tree
Reading status information ... Done
The tor package does not have a version available but is referenced by another package.
Typically this means that the package is missing, has been replaced by another package, or is not available from the currently set sources.
E: The tor package has no installation candidate "

If I gave the wrong category, sorry

apt-get update
what does it show?

"Reading package list ... Done"

It popped up, nothing else

So you have nothing in sources.list

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

The situation is that I changed something according to a guide, which unfortunately did not work. I remember I had 1 line there, and now I have:

"deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib / n
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana / updates main contrib non-free
http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib / n
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana / updates main contrib non-free
http://http.kali.org "

Then look for more correct entries because these are some not completely correct.

something ala it

It did nothing, and I noticed that when I turned on kali linux, there is no internet on it (previously it was), despite setting the bridged network

No wonder nothing works.

Okay, I switched from bridged to nat and the internet is up, I'll see if everything's okay

Despite the internet connection, the situation does not change, I also tried to install the vmware package I got. I typed in the terminal
"./vmware-install.pl"

I got the information that there is no such file or directory, even though I have it in the folder.

As for the previous commands, the situation is the same.

You do not have a graphics mode I understand?

Surely in sources.list you have what you entered means something corrected?
apt-get update still can't see sources.list entries?


As for vmware, show ls or ll in the installation folder.

I don't know what you mean by graphics mode
I will just give you screenshots of this txt

hmm
but I can see the path
/etc/sources.list
and I listed /etc/apt/sources.list
unless kali has it - I gave it from ubuntu

Well, if you have a graphical mode, you probably have aptitude or synaptic there?

The problem is I can't access source.list from apt. I click 100 times on this txt but it doesn't start and that's why I gave this code to source.list in etc

nano do you have?
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
tab, you press and you will be prompted in the console with the path to partially type it.

It must be in / etc / apt / and not in / etc /. You might not have listed the sources.list file at all, the effect is the same as putting it in / etc (by the way where you thought of that) and no wonder apt doesn't read repositories. It doesn't matter what directory the configuration files are placed in. You put the correct source.list file in / etc / apt / it will install the packages.

There it is, the nano has turned on

I deleted the source.list file from apt and pasted the one from etc (the one where I entered the codes), but it's still the same

Don't delete just about anything you want. Delete content because now you may need to set file permissions and owner.

Delete the contents of source.list anyway?

Go to the / etc / apt directory and give the command
ls -all

Looks OK, show the contents to be safe and the update result for apt.

I close the topic. Here is the answer
