Hello everyone I installed fresh Windows 11 and enabled Windows Subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machines and switched to WSL2, and installed Kali Linux from the Microsoft Store.

When I tried to update the repo, It was stuck a 0%

So I changed the http to https in sources.list As it was widely suggested fix.

However even doing so did not change anything what could be the Root cause of this behaviour?

Check the screenshot please

UPDATED:

I tried Going to visiting following URLS in the browser

> http://http.kali.org/kali/
> https://http.kali.org/kali/

Both Opened Successfully!

Then Tried the following command
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6
Which threw an error Message:

gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

so I Installed it manually as I couldn't install from apt directly from terminal,
After installing the gnupg2 it threw the same error:

gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation 

Then I tried adding the following repos to sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/ /kali main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/ /wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free 

But neither of them succeeded

  • Same issue on Windows 11 Pro. From what I have read, it is a Kali issue. I have Kali Virtual Machines in both VMware (as I type here) on Windows 10 and in Hyper-V on Windows 11. Both Kali VMs update just fine. It is not working in WSL2. – John Dec 11 '21 at 01:06
  • A few days back I installed the same way in my cousin's machine who was at my house. Same thing happened with him as well. I just asked him to see if its working on his machine now, It's working just fine so it's my router issue??? Or should I contact my ISP? – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 01:10
  • Ask your ISP and see if they can help. – John Dec 11 '21 at 01:11

    Try the solutions listed [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429729/apt-get-update-error-in-kali-linux-after-dist-upgrade) – Ramhound Dec 11 '21 at 01:19
  • @GamingWorld Just to confirm -- I know you said you installed from the Microsoft Store, right? I know there's [a problem](https://superuser.com/q/1691763/1210833) when Kali is installed via `wsl --install -d kali-linux`, but it's different. – NotTheDr01ds Dec 11 '21 at 01:21
  • @NotTheDr01ds Yes! I installed it from the Store and I Installed it from Store for my Cousin as well his System was not updating either but at his home its working fine, I believe its happening on my IP? – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 01:23
  • @GamingWorld Could very well be. Some of the discussion in the link Ramhound gave you can hopefully help determine that. – NotTheDr01ds Dec 11 '21 at 01:24
  • Moreover I recently changed my Router IP's last address from `IP.IP.0.1` to `IP.IP.1.1` So I switched it back to `IP.IP.0.1` just to confirm it but it still did the same – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 01:24
  • @Ramhound Thanks I tried all the Possible ways suggested I opened both `http://http.kali.org/kali/` and `https://http.kali.org/kali/` Both displayed with no Issue and Solution 2 `apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6` Threw Error: ` gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation` As You know I can't install any due to not being able to connect, Lastly I tried adding all mentioned repos in the list none of them accomplished! – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 01:34
  • @John I don't think this could be an Issue as My Laptop is working fine with Linux as its primary OS Running Well – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 01:37
  • @GamingWorld - [You can download the packages manually and install them.](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnupg2). That should be enough – Ramhound Dec 11 '21 at 01:41
  • You can download it within Windows and drop it into your Kali instance to install it – Ramhound Dec 11 '21 at 01:46
  • @Ramhound I just did installed gnupg2 it installed fine however when I tried the command `apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6` It threw the exact same error again :| – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 02:01
  • You should [edit] your question with the error message and what you have tried so far. – Ramhound Dec 11 '21 at 02:21
  • @Ramhound done! – Gaming World Dec 11 '21 at 02:37
