Officially, Nexpose does not support Kali Linux 2.0 at all. It doesn't even like it's underlying distribution very much, although we can probably expect to see some support coming sometime in the future.

Now going forward from that, I'll be happy to help here here on the thread if you could make some attempt to post a better error report. Include the actual error message (in full), along with a list of your currently running services and additional packages you may have installed after the installation of Kali 2.0. Are you also sure that you have downloaded the correct version and attempted the install correctly?

I have the same problem. Kali 2.0 runs on Kernel 4.x. The installer of Nexpose actually shows two errors:
- [Warning] - kali 2.0 operating system was detected. The detected version of the operating system is not recommended.
- [Fail] - An unsupported kernel version 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 was detected.

The installation can't be continued because of the [Fail] error.

Hope there will be a kind of workaround for this, been searching for hours now. Thanks for the help.

The kernel 4.X is not supported, and it looks to me like Kali has their own custom kernel modifications that may never be supported. I was able to install kernel 3.18 and it worked like a charm.

You can use the KernelUpgrade script I wrote to automatically download, compile, and install your new shiny kernel.

It's almost like you don't have to do anything at all.

Just remember to choose "advanced boot options" in the Grub menu, or edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make it hte default.

Have fun.

Worked like a charmed. Thank you so much!
Keep in mind, this process will take hours!!!
