@adeyinkabadmus This is now ready for testing. Thanks.

[leaanthony]

@adeyinkabadmus any updates?

[adeyinkabadmus]

Not yet. I did a wails update and then retried wails init but i still get the prompt to send a request for distribution support. Thank you very much.

[bh90210]

hey @adeyinkabadmus you should update running wails update -pre to get the latest pre-release,
although I think even that won't work cause we haven't yet tagged the PR that added support for kali but give it a try cause I am not 100% sure either, it might actually work! :+1:

[adeyinkabadmus]

@bh90210 . Thanks for the suggestion. You're right about it not working though. I got the same result. it got updated to v0.17.13 so i'm assuming it's not been tagged like you said.

[bh90210]

we r working on it :) (and by we I mean @leaanthony :-p) thanks for ur patience

[adeyinkabadmus]

Thank you for your contributions.

[leaanthony]

@adeyinkabadmus Please update to the latest pre-release (v0.17.14-pre) using wails update -pre. Let us know how you get on 👍

[adeyinkabadmus]

@leaanthony , thanks for the new update. I successuly updated to 0.17.14-pre but i still get the prompt to send a request support for Kali. Thank you very much.

[bh90210]

heh, I don't know what it is but it looks like my fault. I am investigating..

[bh90210]

can u please share the output of cat /etc/os-release?
although I am pretty sure I got it installed using the latest from https://hub.docker.com/r/kalilinux/kali-linux-docker/tags

Hi @bh90210, I think there's a missing switch case here:
https://github.com/bh90210/wails/blob/386ec5e46f89580cfbee6dcfdcba0c4b470083b3/cmd/linux.go#L123

[bh90210]

yes! I am fixing it asap, thank you

_EDIT: u have no idea how many hours of staring at my screen u saved me!_

[bh90210]

sorry everyone, fixed it
@adeyinkabadmus can u please check it against my branch before @leaanthony actually does another version bump?
git clone -b 215-Support-Distribution-Kali https://github.com/bh90210/wails.git && cd wails/cmd/wails && go install && wails setup

[adeyinkabadmus]

Thanks a lot everyone. It works now. I really do appreciate your attention and efforts.

[leaanthony]

Glad it's working @adeyinkabadmus! I'm closing this now. Please reopen if there is a regression 👍
