New install of Kali 2019-4-amd64(5.3.0) on Acer aspire 3 (A315-42-R2D9) Ryzen 3 3500U Vega 8
I've tried everything I've been able to find on this forum, redhat, Debian and ubuntu forums.
Booting the live USB works fine. Advanced trackpad works, graphics work, network works.
Used the live installer to install to 128GB USB 3.1. with ecrypted LVM.
Boots fine to the login screen. Using Ctrl-alt-F2 from login screen to terminal works
Once you log in, blank screen with no mouse, Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not work, only pressing power key causes it to shut down.
A lot of the advice seems to be old (from 2016).
I have already cone:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get purge lightdm
apt-get install lightdm
restarted with nouveau.modeset=0 on grub line (no change)
restarted with nomodeset on grub line (no boot at all)
restarted with acpi=off
restarted with nosplash
- and various combinations of the above
I looked at the .xsession-errors. It complains that there is already a display manager.
A copy of the session errors is attached.
Also copies of
lsmod | grep amdcpu
lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d'
also attached
Thanks in advance..
