| Summary | 0004376: netboot fails when retrieving libc6-udev | ||||
| Description | When trying to boot off the most recent netboot install, the install fails giving a "Loading libc6-udeb failed for unknown reasons. Aborting" message. The debug console shows retrieving libc6-udev 2.23-1 and then segfaults. After this point, all available menu steps fail on themselves, and the debug menu reports a segmentation fault. Using a seperate ptty to get a dump fails as it won't open a new terminal (just repeats "Please Press Enter to activate this console" and reports a segfault in debug. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Start install from netboot image. Wait. error | ||||
| Additional Information | Same issue reported in 2016 here: | ||||
 |
I am curious... |

@tyowell1 Can you point us to the netboot image that you used? Where and when did you download it? Do you have a version for it? It's very unlikely that the debug console shows a message about libc6-udeb 2.23-1 since the current version is 2.25-1... |

@rhertzog I am using the most recent Kali live build pulled down from git. I will upload screenshot of failure, it is the same error Spyro uploaded a screenshot of. Once that error appears it does not allow you to get to any options on the menu, including to get the debug logs. Screen Shot 2017-11-30 at 7.59.28 AM.png (15,601 bytes) |

Also having this issue - Followed instructions on https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux/kali-rolling-iso-of-doom/. While using the resulting ISO to install, I get the error. I've attached a screenshot of the console. kali-error-console.PNG (54,235 bytes) |

We built new installer images yesterday (version 20171009+b1). It should be fixed now. |
