What rom are you using? Did you install supersu? I would try re flashing nethunter.zip

bhavinjbhatt, not sure what your issues is, it works fine for me. See if you can update kali inside the chroot using apt-get update commands, then try again.

bhavinjbhatt - you said when you start it will sit there doing nothing. Give it 10min at least the first time you start it. There is a-lot of set-up that happens with the DB being created etc.. If you are still getting into the console and its complaining about no DB it sounds like perhaps that first time initialization never completed and you are missing some files. Here is a video showing the set-up and talking about the long first time start-up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb5tL3EV1eA

Perform apt-get update, then upgrade and you should see the new Metasploint come down and hopefully that will fix it. Report back your findings.

@rummonkey and @offensive-security - i reflashed the nexus 7, and then ran kali linux in shell, followed by apt-get update... once completed, i rebooted the tablet, and ran msfconsole in the kali shell, i did nothing for an hour, and then finally after the database error it gave the msf> console. i have run msfupdate, and am playing with it, but will reboot the tablet and report how long it takes to get to msf> after typing msfconsole. still, i am not sure why it took over 1 hour....

Thanks for you updates, will write back later today

Hey dont know if this is the same situation but i also had this problem. i updated and upgraded and still the problem persisted. I scrolled back through terminal and realised upgrade was showing an error about metasploit upgrade.

I started postgreql from terminal and re did upgrade. Which showed metasploit was not fully upgraded the first time . And metasploit connects to db fine now.

OP most likely was not running metasploit from within the kalimenu; did not start postgresql before running msfconsole. OP's device is stated to be 8gb version of N7-2012. Possibility that device is not suitable for NH.

Possible that first run of metasploit was ended short and corrupted the msf database.

OP needs to run:
service postgresql start
service metasploit start
and then:
msfconsole
(wait, wait, wait...)
msfupdate

These devices are not going to run metasploit with the same performance and speed as candycrush.
Metasploit takes a while to load on first launch.
FYI.

When I check for updates I specifically for metasploit run postgresql in advance:

apt-get update && service postgresql start && apt-get dist-upgrade
