Hi, i got problems with Kali Linux Core. Problem is that i downloaded Kali Linux Core but i only have a linux, so i want to know what is the command or thing to get the default tools of Kali Linux i have been looking to fix it but i cant find, if i can get someone helping me of the amazing Qubes Community i would really appreciate
Hi @QubesUserNeedHelp and welcome here! You need to provide more details of what you are trying to do, how (which qube, which template, etc.) and what is not working, for us to help you.
do you mean with kali linux core the template from the template manager?
Make sure that you have the kali repository defined under
/etc/apt/sources.list
It sounds as if you want to install a metapackage that will bring in
other tools. Possible candidates are kali-linux-default and
kali-linux-everything.
Kali is a Debian bvased system, so the command you want to use to
install packages is apt - run as root.
Open a terminal in the template and issues sudo apt install kali-linux-default - make sure that you have sufficient space in the
root volume before you do this - you can change this from the qube
settings.
I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.

Ok guys, wait
My problem is that i downloaded the Kali Core Template using the
āsudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community-testing qubes-template-kali-coreā command but when i am inside it and for example i do the command āsudo apt install kali-linux-defaultā it says that kali-linux-default dosent exist BUT in my /etc/apt/sources.list i only have deb.debian.org links but i dont know what to put to get kali linux repo inside it
According to Kali Network Repositories (/etc/apt/sources.list) | Kali Linux Documentation
echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

You donāt have a separate file for kali repository e.g. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list?
I only have in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory the qubes-r4.list which only contains qubes related list
There seems to be a problem with the latest kali-core template:
Is there another one that works ?
It works, but since it have no repository added you need to add it manually.
There was command on Arch linux how to add it to /etc/apt/sources.list but you could do it to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/` as well:
echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali-rolling.list
Ok i got it

I get this but when i do a sudo apt update it says
Err:5 Index of /kali/ kali-rolling InRelease
The following signatures couldnāt be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ED65462EC8D5E4C5

N: Updating from such a repository canāt be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

You need to install that key in a way that apt can use it.
The correct way is to put the key in /usr/share/keyrings, and then
reference it in the list file like this:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpg ...
