So Kali Linux lost access to the signing key of its repository, and it had to create a new one. Further updating previously installed Kali requires users to download and install the new repo signing key, as instructed by the blog post kali.org/blog/new-kali-archive

That's all okay, these things happen. But... Am I the only one who feels a bit uneasy telling people to sudo wget or curl like this? I'd rather instruct people to download the file as regular users, verify its authenticity and *only then* sudo cp it in place.

Kali LinuxA New Kali Linux Archive Signing Key | Kali Linux BlogTL;DR Bad news for Kali Linux users! In the coming day(s), apt update is going to fail for pretty much everyone out there: Missing key 827C8569F2518CC677FECA1AED65462EC8D5E4C5, which is needed to verify signature. Reason is, we had to roll a new signing key for the Kali repository. You need to download and install the new key manually, here’s the one-liner:

Another entry in the niche blog post chronicles: How to install Guacamole for remote desktop connections to Kali Linux.

This is a combo post with both context and guide. Its also the first in a series on migrating from Vagrant/VMWare/Ansible to Proxmox/OpenTofu/Ansible. In it I work through some issues of building Guac on Ubuntu 24.04 and installing TigerVNC on Kali.

This post is a stepping stone on the way to resolving the issue of frequent Kali crashes, though I think of it as only a preparatory step as it deals with a niche issue where SPICE doesn't work for me on Proxmox. I hope to get on to the IaC stuff soon.

#Kali #Linux users must act promptly.

The team has lost access to the previous repository signing #key, which will cause "apt update" to fail.

To resolve this, add the new signing key to your keyring using either "wget" or "curl".

Verify both the old and new keys are present, then run "apt update" to ensure no errors occur.

Stay secure.
