Installing Kali Linux Guide

Somebodyhura edited this page May 1, 2017 · 27 revisions

The best way to install Linux is to set a separate partition for it.

1_Insert your ram (atleast 16GB preferred class 10)

2_Install (Aparted) app for Android

3_Follow instructions and set atleast 8GB as ext4 for Linux installation and remain other for your own use (something like this: https://ibb.co/hSHYmQ)

4_then go into the Linux deploy, swipe right and go into settings

5_enable (lock screen), (wake lock), (CLI), (TELNET), (Localhost)

6_tap REMOVE ENV and UPDATE ENV

7_head back and click on download icon and set options like this:

Contain method: chroot (proot didn't work for me)

Distribution: Kali Linux

Architecture: Armhf

Distribution suite: Kali-rolling (It's better and newer)

Installation type: partition

Installation Path: mmcblk1p2 (if you set like me it's ok...if not and set ext4 in first row at Aparted app then replace p2 with p1, they mean partition number)

File system: ext4

Username: Android

User Password: (needed for vnc only)

Privileged user: root

DNS: Automatic

Localization: POSIX

INIT: (if you know how to work with, enable it...otherwise it's not needed, leave disabled)

MOUNTS: (Just like INIT)

SSH: enable (leave settings unaffected)

GUI: enable

Graphics subsystem: VNC (It's better than others)

GUI settings Depth: 24Bit

DPI: 75

width: 1600 height: 900 (I set them at this numbers because nowdays 16:9 is a good aspect ratio and native with many monitors and also you won't encounter problems with programs that are a bit large, so I recommend changing it from the default value, that resolution is not compatible for some apps they go out of border :/ )

VNC Options: (leave unaffected)

Desktop environment: LXDE (what you desire, but that's my recommendation)

8_now head back and click the three dot menu and tap on install and wait until installation finishes

9_now connect with 127.0.0.1 with your password in vnc viewer app (recommend com.realvnc.viewer.android)


TROUBLESHOOTING:

1_Some packages cannot be retrieved/validated and get error/ignored, and thus Linux installed incomplete.

-check your Internet connection and make sure it is stable and fast

-Some packages are restricted or filtered (503), try this method: Install (Orbot) and go into options and enable (transparent proxy) and start the tor then start the installation

2_Linux fails to stop/unmount some items or Linux is still running after I hit stop button

-Just hit the stop button again after the first stop command finished and try it again until you get (the container is not mounted)

Hope this helps Good luck and farewell---
