Greetings to all!
I'll try to make this as concise as possible. I recently picked up a copy of Penetration Testing by Georgia Weidman from the library, and am basically working through the set up process. I successfully installed and used both Kali 2016.1 and VMware on which it is running. Last night I was downloading and installing all requisite software needed as instructed by the book (with assistance from information from this forum) and everything seemed to be running smoothly. The very last thing I did was download, decompress, compile and install Hyperion 1.2 and followed all default prompts throughout the process. I then shut everything down and called it a night.
Now today when I attempt to login as root on the sign in screen, it does not allow me to sign in! There is no error message or anything, it just loops back to the default sign in screen without explanation. If anyone has any ideas as to what the issue might be, I would be greatly appreciative. Furthermore, if you need any more information other than what I have given you, I would be more than happy to provide it.
Thank you and well wishes!
Edit:
If this helps, I've included an image of the boot screen:

Don't know if there is a correlation between the messages and the issue, but I'll be looking into it in the meantime.
