I'm so excited! I got it fixed. I found: I had to uncomment a line in: └─$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf then I ran: └─$ sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd and └─$ sudo timedatectl set-ntp true and now everything works. I love google. UNfortunately I learned I need to have prerequisite knowledge for the operating system (kali) (I wanted to learn penetration testing). I need to learn HTML and python.
