Summary | 0004576: [GNOME] Booting Thumb-Drive-Kali-Live, on computers with Ethernet connection, downloads software updates | ||||
Description | Booting a thumb drive with live kali-linux-2018.1 (either amd64 or i386) This can be verified by navigating to the /var/cache/apt/archives directory. You will see it being populated with .deb package files. amd64 downloads 361 files (598.0M) After the downloads complete, a notification at the top of the screen says: "Software Updates Available" Clicking on view in that notification opens the software program and displays: "OS Updates Includes performance, stability and security improvements" And then displays a "Restart & Update" button Of course this update will not work with thumb-drive-kali-live | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Just boot a computer, that uses Ethernet to access the Internet, Navigate to /var/cache/apt/archives directory and watch it populate | ||||
Additional Information | On computers with limited memory, that's 600M of precious RAM drive Deleting the .deb package files does not work. They only download again. A work around to this problem is to disconnect the Ethernet cable | ||||
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.x/2018.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup? |
