Summary | 0007460: Kali installation bugs with net-install and offline installer isos. | ||||
Description | Whenever I install Kali from the net-install iso. The retrieving file part takes very time. I know what you would suggest to have a good internet connection but I have a good network and I use ethernet. For example, if there is a 94 MB file then it takes 5 min alone to download that from the server. You can guess the rate at which it is downloading, so it takes 3-4 hours to install Kali on my laptop with a SSD and the installation media is put in USB3.0 slot. And I have to use the net-install iso as there is a separate problem with the offline installer. The offline installer does everything perfectly in half an hour but at "Finishing the Installation" it get stuck on "Running simple-cdd", and I have waited for half an hour on that step but nothing happens, the progress bar stays the same, so I have to abort the install and run it again with net-install iso. And I have tried to install from the offline install (fresh iso from kali.org) 3-4 times it does not solve itself. | ||||

I'm not familiar with the net installer so I'll try to guess. During installation, is there a step where you can choose the mirror location? Did you try different location? Even better, is there a step where you can enter the URL of the mirror you want to use? In this case, try http://kali.download/kali , that should be fast. Also, may I ask in which country or region of the world you are located? Thanks! |

I live in India. And I have not tried the proxy option i just leave it blank. Shouldn't it use whichever is nearest ? |
|
oh I have mistaken proxy for mirror... But it never asks for a mirror. It automatically does it I guess when it is configuring apt. |
|
other than this no other URLs are asked in the net-installer |
