TN.Frank Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I added some Debian Stable Repos to my Kali Linux install. Everything seems to be working fine, just wonder if anyone else has done this and if you've run into any conflicts or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN.Frank Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) By doing this and excluding a couple "problem" Repos that I didn't have the public key for or other issues I've been able to upgrade my Iceweasel browser from 22 to 24.3 and probably upgraded a lot of other stuff that Kali just doesn't bother with like VLC, ect. No issues so far. Here's my sources.list. # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20140108-18:08]/ kali contrib main non-free #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20140108-18:08]/ kali contrib main non-free deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib ## Security updates deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free #Third Parties Repos #Debian Mozilla team deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/linrunner/tlp/ubuntu lucid main This last one is for my TLP Power Management install, wasn't a part of the sources.list I got from the Debian Sources List creator.

barry99705 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Make sure you don't upgrade the kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It would probably be better to add the Kali repos to a Debian install to avoid things like the above post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN.Frank Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 As far as I know none of the Repos have upgraded the kernel so I should be fine. Everything seems to be running fine. Don't think I'll have any problems, so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN.Frank Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, here's the Repos I'm going with. deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free You almost have to add the Debian Repos to Kali since the Kali Repos are down so much you'd never get ANY updates or be able to install anything from them.
