installation problem

[dp-bt]

Hi, started kali 2024.1. on virtualbox.. First part of installation done, but I cant (dont know how to) install necessary packages. I keep getting error "Command 'paru' not found.."..I'm new to linux...

Hey! @dp-bt. No worries, I'll get you sorted out.

paru is a package manager for Arch Linux and for kali is a different flavor altogether.

The error message you're seeing "Command 'paru' not found" is because Kali Linux doesn't have paru installed, and it's the wrong tool for the job here. Insted you use Kali's native package manager, apt-get.

1. Update your package list

   sudo apt-get update
   

2. Install the packages you need

   sudo apt-get install package_name
   

   Just replace package_name with the name of the package you want.

Hopefully this resolves your issue, Im yet to make this tool working on all other platforms.

Thanks for the answer. When I try to install bluez, is said that it is already installed. Next problem is that laptop doesnt have BT. When I use usb BT dongle, Kali sometimes freezes. Do I need to start/install something to make usb bluetooth dongle work?

Not so sure how I can help here... but anyway have you checked if you have the correct bt driver installed for it?

If it is not freezing when I run and start scan I get message "operation is already in progress", sometimes "Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out". I'll try to install Kali on laptop with integrated BT. It is now virtual.
