How to install Kali Linux 2019.4 Release (Kali-Linux Undercover) & (How to Fix mariadb error)
This is short tutorial on how to install the newest version of Kali Linux 2019. I had a previous version of Kali so this won’t walk you through how to install if you don’t have a previous version installed. I referenced the blog from the official Kali site (https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-2019-4-release/).
2019.4 includes some exciting new updates:
- A new default desktop environment, Xfce
- New GTK3 theme (for Gnome and Xfce)
- Introduction of “Kali Undercover” mode
- Kali Documentation has a new home and is now Git powered
- Public Packaging — getting your tools into Kali
- Kali NetHunter KeX — Full Kali desktop on Android
- BTRFS during setup
- Added PowerShell
- The kernel is upgraded to version 5.3.9
- … Plus the normal bugs fixes and updates.
- Open the terminal in kali linux.
- Type in the following commands in the terminal:
root@kali:~# cat </etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
EOF
root@kali:~# apt update && apt -y full-upgrade
root@kali:~# [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ] && reboot -f
root@kali:~# apt -y install kali-desktop-xfce

root@kali:~# sudo apt-get remove mariadb-client-10.1
root@kali:~# sudo apt-get remove — auto-remove mariadb-client-10.1
root@kali:~# sudo apt-get purge mariadb-client-10.1
root@kali:~# sudo apt-get purge — auto-remove mariadb-client-10.1
