Installation of Kali

[redpo...@gmail.com]

This is a cross post so apologies as I am just trying to maximise my chances of getting some help.

I've been trying to install Kali 2020 on qubes 4 without success.

I can get through the installation procedure but I'm getting problems at the point where Kali uses the net to download software such as the GUI. At this point I manually input the network settings (address, gateway etc which I get from the Qubes settings) and then select a mirror for it to do this, but it gives me a continual error message that there is an error with the mirror. I suspect that the issue is that, for some reason its not getting onto the net as I've been through a heap if the mirrors with the same issue. It won't connect to any of them. It will install but when booted I get a terminal and I can't seem to move past this to a GUI. I've googled it to death and I've tried all of the solutions I can find.

It appears that it installs without the GUI and any attempt to get it on the net is useless. It doesn't respond to apt-update, startx, etc etc. I've installed Kali plenty of times, but there is a quirk in qubes that has me stumped.

Has anyone had any luck installing this and able to offer any assistance?

Just installed it.
make sure you have the latest iso - there was an issue with 1st 2020
release.
At "networking" use the information from Qube Settings,but use netmask
255.255.255.0

Thanks for the tip about the version of Kali.  I have the first one.  I'll download the latest and see what happens. 

 I was using 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.255 with no luck.

Downloaded the latest kali.  The problem persists I'm afraid.  No idea how to fix this.  I'll just stick with Parrot that works like a dream.

Thanks for you interest.
