I have successfully upgraded my Kali VM to Kali Linux 2026.1. The system is running with kernel 6.18.12+kali-amd64, and I have about 47 GB of free space on the root drive.
My main AI environment (ai) is now stable again after fixing several dependency issues. Inside this environment:
- PyTorch is at 2.10.0
- Transformers is at 4.46.0
- Tokenizers and huggingface-hub are compatible
- I can successfully import and use both libraries without errors.
I also have:
- Ollama installed (the service is running)
- My Jarvis.ipynb notebook and notebooks folder ready
- The old pycookiecheat / cryptography conflicts have been cleaned up
The only minor leftover warnings are from pentestgpt, which has some outdated dependencies, but they don’t affect my main AI work.
Overall, my Kali VM and AI setup are in a good, usable state after the big upgrade.
