gnome-tweak tool not found












1














I am using Kali GNU/Linux 1.1.0, I want to change default kali theme to some other theme, I searched different different post most of them are using gnome-tweak tool, I tried:



sudo apt-get update


And then:



sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak tool


I got following message:



Package gnome-tweak tool is not available, but is referred to by another package
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only
available from another source.
E: Package 'gnome-tweak-tool' has no installation candidate


Can somebody help me on that ?

          First you need to make sure your source list is correct so it knows where to find the package, it seems this is your issue.



          In a terminal issue the following commands



          nano /etc/apt/sources.list


          In this window copy and paste the below to the bottom of the existing list



          deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
          deb http://http.kali.org/ /wheezy main contrib non-free


          Now save it, press Ctrl + x press Y press enter



          Back in the terminal



          apt-get update
          apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool


          It should now download and install



          Now issue gnome-tweak-tool in the terminal and it should open.

            First of all please mention the Desktop Environment of your Distribution.

            By the way try this



            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 
            sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweak-tool


            This generally works with gnome desktop Environment.
            If still there is any error Then maintain your sources list.
