Until this moment, I have installed packages solely on Ubuntu. Now, I am trying Kali Linux,namely

uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 4.9.18-1kali1 (2017-04-04)

A friend, who unfortunately knows less about Linux than me, told me of his problem to install even basic Packages on another Debian distro, though this seems odd, since I heard, that the Repository of Debian is far more bigger than that from Ubuntu.

I tried 

apt install kdenlive
apt install audacity
apt install blender

The fruitlessness of my striving made me modest and so I tried

apt install cowsay

But even this could not be installed, could you give me an advice how to deal with this?

    If your friend isn't a professional security expert, why in the world would they be using Kali? I suggest you tell your friend to read docs.kali.org/introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux and to instead switch to a normal Linux distribution. Kali is a professional tool designed to be used by experts. It is not and should not be used as a regular every day operating system. That said, we can't help you if you don't tell us what happened when you tried this.

  • my friend does not use Kali, he uses Trisquel. The idiot, who installed Kali without having being a professional is me. I have installed it for sheer adventure and experience after I saw my 12 year old nephew using it, I thought "maybe you do not have to be an expert in quantuumchromodynamics to try it. Why should not an expert use Kali?

  • @terdon I read your link, and I think the only reason for me not using it is explained in this part:In addition, misuse of security and penetration testing tools within a network, particularly without specific authorization, may cause irreparable damage and result in significant consequences, personal and/or legal. “Not understanding what you were doing” is not going to work as an excuse. However, I am not interested in penetrating another persons system, I could simply enjoy the fun of penetrating myself

    Heh, fair enough. Just as long as you know it's not supposed to be used as your everyday OS.

    Well yes, of course. Why would you want or need nvidia drivers for Kali? This isn't an operating system, it;s a very specialized tool. If you're going to be installing NVIDIA on it there's no point in using it. If you want to play with Kali, set it up as a dual boot and only use it for pen-testing.

The kdenlive package is available on kali linux (main repo)

You should edit your sources.list as follows:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

then run

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install kdenlive

Also you can install it through snap:

snap install --edge --force-dangerous --devmode kdenlive-devel

Official docs

To install audacity and blender run the following ( after editing the sources.list):

apt install audacity blender

  • @Milor123 Because your problem is different , It is better to ask a new question including the error message and the content of your sources.list and the content of files under /etc/apt/sources.list/d .
