Fixing the Update Resource List
During the install of DHCP3-Server i found out that someone forgot to put in a line of code needed for the updateing of Backtrack 5r3. This is a quick guide on how to put it back in.
First got to the desktop and select Places > Computer > File System
Then navigate trough the following 2 folders etc > aptYou should then see sources.list
Now right click it and select Open With.. > gedit Text Editor
You should now see the same as the picture below:
At the bottom of this file add the text in bold below
deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org main microverse non-free testing
Now save and close the file and you be all good. While were here lets have a quick upgrade.
Open a new terminal and enter in the text in bold below.
apt-get update
and when thats done enter the text in bold below
apt-get upgrade
You have just upgrade Backtrack :)
Thanks loving these tuts
ReplyDeleteHi mate,
ReplyDeleteI've checked your quick solution. Unfortunately not every time is working or at least for 64bit Gnome version it doesn't:

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
This is a guide for the 32bit Gnome VM Backtrack 5R3 version.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway the fix should work on all Gnome versions. (maybe even KDE versions)
I think this error may of been caused by the repositories being down, no internet connection or other reasons.
The CLI output shows it tried to download files from the place we added and this means we fixed the problem.... you just seem to have another.
Your screenshot is correct but need to change your bolded text to add "revolution" to sources.list i.e. (as root)
ReplyDeleteecho "deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
This should also allow you to install DHCP server afterwards
apt-get install dhcp3-server

Behan
apt-get source wicd
ReplyDeleteReading package lists... Done

E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
showing this prop
what should do
I have save source url in /etc/apt/sources.list
any suggestion
Problem still not gone. It says the same error everytimes.........
ReplyDeleteI think the default sources mentioned in the sources.list file are outdated and offline
ReplyDeletey not put kali linux 2.0 source code since is their upgrade
ReplyDeletebecause backtrack site is no longer giving download
ReplyDeleteso repository shouldn't be active.
maybe they can be using kali repository instead.
root@bt:~# apt-get update
