View Full Version : I am in a log-in loop (Kali Linux) and ctrl+alt+f1 (f2-f6) doesn't work

So recently I've tried to log in into my Kali Linux account. I enter the password correctly, but every time system just reopens the log-in screen. All advice tell me to open the terminal (ctrl+alt+f1). I did try it. Also no matter how many times I press these key bottoms (at the same time) or any combination with alt+ctrl+F* nothing happens.

My keyboard is working ok. And I can move the cursor, so the log-in screen is not frozen.

What do I need to do now? I would be grateful to hear any advice.

I got the same problem with the distro. I'm stuck at in a login loop.

There are a few tutorials on the internet and youtube but they did nothing to solve the problem.

Have you had any luck?

You ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue on a fresh RPi 4 install after running tightvnc server just one time and cant get past it.

Ended up reinstalling Kali to get it to work. I could log in a console and create a new user wich i could use to log into the desktop with.
