I will try this out and let you know the outcome.

I ran into same problem until i used the automatic install and then it worked fine. Give that a shot.

Thanks for the info, what do you mean by automatic install?

From the Kali install menu, go to Advanced Options. Under the Advanced Options, there is an option to install kali automatically. The first ten minutes. Pick your country and all that fun stuff, then you'll get a No Network Adapter error. If it will let you continue, continue, if it doesn't click back and proceed to the next step witch is when you will need to put your user name a passwd in. Then Partition time. Done now wait 45 minutes maybe an hour. Once its done it will prompt you to remove the boot device and hit continue. Should boot right up. If you have a descent 60 second top. Let me know if it works for you.

thank you for the info, i will try that now

No problem.

i had the same issue. tried also to do autumated install but its stuck in installation

how long was it stuck for before you gave up? mine sat at 15% for 35 minutes

something like an hour. but i've flashed again with etcher and trying again.

what partition options did you use?

also how did you make your boot device? i used dd the first time and didnt work, second time around i used Etcher

I tried the auto install as directed, it completed successfully, but I still have the same issue.

I want to try creating a custom install using the updated build scripts but I can figure out the exact commands to build a kali-purple ISO.

This is if your using a Kali machine to build it.

~ git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/kali-tweaks.git ~ cd kali-tweaks ~ sudo ./update.sh ~ sudo ./build-deps.sh ~ sudo ./configure.sh ~ sudo ./build.sh --variant kali-purple

in a nut shell these steps will create an iso

Thanks for the info, i will give this a try.

this link is leading for not found page

you need to change it to the link your cloning the script from

Believe it or not this will save you a ton of headaches. Dame thing knows everything.

https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/releases/download/v0.12.0/ChatGPT_0.12.0_linux_x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz

In case you dont know how to run it. Go to downloads right click the file go to properties then permissions at the bottom check the box beside program close right click and extract here. close the download folder and reopen it and duoble click the chat gear

When attempting to build the live builds ISO using sudo ./build.sh --variant kali-purple, it tells me kali-purple has no matching live builds. Is it their another name?

The exact error is ERROR: Unknown variant of Kali live configuration: kali-purple

changed milestone to %Kali 2023.2

@caseyvsilver Hello Casey, and sorry for late feedback.

There was an issue with the Kali Purple installer we released last week, the installer didn't include firmware. It's the most likely cause for the issue you described here, nvidia hardware probably requires firmware to work correctly.

We just fixed it though, and released a new Kali Purple installer.

I'd advise to re-download the image from the Kali website. Open https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-installer-images, scroll down a bit, download the Kali Purple image again. As you will notice, the file is now named kali-linux-2023.1a-installer-purple-amd64.iso (notice the version 2023.1a instead of 2023.1 that we released last week).

Then try again to install with this image. Hopefully that should solve your issue.

I'm closing the issue here, but feel free to re-open if needed. Thanks!
