how do i input this into the CLI?
Create two new files a.txt and b.txt, create a tarball of the two files
using kali linux on windows 7
Good day everyone,
I'm currently a student and as far as I'm aware I still need windows for some program I need, but I am going over to Linux.
(Thus I'm running Windows 8 at this moment)
Today I was going to install Ubuntu 14.04.01 alongside Windows 8, everything went well till I hit the 4th step (Installation type page) of the installation:
A message like follows showed:
"This computer currently has Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) on it. What would you like to do?"
There are then 3 options available:
1) Install Ubuntu alongside Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7)
2) Replace Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) with Ubuntu
3 and 4 is greyed out.
5) Something else (You can create resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu.
I just want to make sure what option to choose, I cant afford to lose all my data and windows.
Problem: Showing Kali Linux as current OS and not Windows 8.
Possible reason for showing Kali Linux as current OS:
I have a live CD of Kali Linux and ran it a few times in the past, but according to my knowledge it shouldn't have changed anything.
Maybe the 1st option is still the right one even though the current OS isn't listed right? Or the 3rd option is like a manual setting I guess.
Thanks for the time reading and helping!
Ok so I'm trying to install Kali on my computer with the USB install and I have read that anthing after version 1.0.8 should be UEIF compatible. I used Rufus to create the bootable usb with Kali's ISO. When i boot from the usb i get the GRUB loader but no matter if i chose the live or the install it freezes/crashes and get errors like:
no caching mode page found
since the usb is not persistent how can i view or capture the error messages to help me figure out what the problem is?
Also should i just try burning it to disk to see if i get different results? Haven't done it yet because i don't have any DVD's laying around.
After creating a bootable usb using Universal USB Installer. I booted up the sytstem (Dell Inspiron N4110) F12 boot on usb, did the install, everything went well until after copying files and then the error message that "The grub-pc package failed to install into /target.. So i continued without a boot loader and now am trying to figure out how to get it back.
Previously i did a perfect dual boot of Kali Linux wherein the Grub boot loader was present. I did however uninstall Kali, reclaim HDD space, and even use EasyBCD to remove Grub(i believe).
Also worth noting is that before this dual boot with pignuy and after uninstalling kali linux i did a complete reinstallation of my windows 7 system using the recovery HD.
Now i would like to know how i could get grub boot loader back onto my system so that i can boot up Pinguy OS. Thanks
I am trying to install Kali-Linux. and I get a message that I have the wrong installer kernal that doesn't match. what do I do??? the attachment is a pic of the warning.
Could someone that is using Kali Linux please send me their bash.rc file?! I accidently screwed mine up and I can't reset it back to default. Thanks.

Im not sure if anyone has already asked this question but i would really like to know how to disable Sleep/Hibernate completely and persistently on a Kali Linux 1.1.0 System running dual boot on a Macbook Pro Mid 2009.
Hi everyone! I have found this post (below) about how to find files on Linux, but I wanted to know if there are any other techniques that will work? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am new to Linux images (pxe, livecd). I would like to add files to a linux image, like something under etc or var, and have the files be available on the client.
The server I am working on was already configured with a pxe image, and only 2 files are present under the pxe client folder: initrd and vmlinuz. So I am wondering if either of these files contain the dirs /etc, /var, etc..., and how I could add files to them.
To give some background, I have done the same thing in Windows. An image in Windows is typically either boot.img or install.img. You can mount either of these to a folder using the Windows SDK tool imagex.exe /mountrw <img file> 1 <mount point>. From here you can add/remove/modify any files you want. Then commit the changes with imagex.exe /unmount <mountpoint> /commit.
Can someone provide insight to the linux image creation process, which of the files (initrd, vmlinuz/vmlinux, etc...) contain what for the client boot, or something similar to the Windows Image editing process?
I know I'm asking for a range of info, but pointers to any material to help my understanding will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
Hello!
TL;DR: Deleted Linux partition from Windows. Stuck at Grub rescue prompt.
I'm sorry to trouble you guys, because I'm an idiot.
So I'm wanting to dual-boot Kalilinux and Windows 8.
I went through the steps such as creating a bootable USB, changing the
boot order and so on. I get into Kali, start Gparted and try to partition stuff.
I'm far from an expert, so I wasn't sure what to do. Long-story short, I
didn't seem to get Kali installed correctly, due to something with an EFI
drive being required. So I boot into windows and then stupidly, because it said in the guide,try to "uninstall" Kali by removing it's partition, inside Win8 haha... So I did.
Now I simply get the Grub rescue command prompt when I boot from the same
USB and I have no idea how to fix it. I've run bootrec.exe/fixmbr in Windows haha,
for what it's worth. However Grub can't find any partition it says.
In windows, I have like... 2-3 Recovery partitions. Does anyone know how to remove
them??? I've tried to clear as much as I can, besides the C drive and Auxillary D drive.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
